E-5 11B looking to reclass to 89B. How do you like your job?

I love my job as an 89B. Super versatile and there are many aspects of the job. I’ve only met one 89 who was a prior 11b. He had a “it could be worse” way of looking at things.. so I guess it’s not as bad as Infantry when it comes to the suck meter.

When considering reclassifying, you should look at the progression. This past year, out of 181 only 29 were selected for E7. Less than 3 are usually selected for Promotion for E8 and E9 each year which makes it extremely competitive. To me, that’s the only downside of the MOS.

I am also a SSG 89B. Only been in 7 years and I’m fast tracking as hell.
On the trail at the moment but should be off soon.
Worked at Ft Hood ASP, fort Irwin as the ammo guy for OPS now I’m at benning as a DS.
The job itself is not bad at all. It’s what you make of it.

Just another route that might help you out. If you're active, try tracking down the 89Bs in your BN or BDE. They may be able to show you what the do on a daily basis and give you a real world snapshot. Out of the 3 I know, 2 loved their jobs though. Hope that helps bro.
