Im an 11x set to ship January, been hearing it a lot and don't know why. " You don't wanna be a 11c in the 75th". Why is that so?

I was never in the 75th...my drill Sgt was. He said something about humping the 81mm and all the rounds, no trucks and no help from the platoons..
That was 25 years ago, I could be mistaken

Theres that stigma amoungst 11B's that "chucks" aren't real infantrymen. Doesn't matter what you wind up as you'll bust your ass daily in either job. Each has its perks and enough suck to spare. IF (and thats a huge if) you are fortunate enough to make it to BAT, you'll be a Ranger before anything else. You'll be held to the same standards as every other ranger regardless of MOS.
Best advice is to get through Basic first. Then worry about that stuff. Its not like you get a choice anyways.

Every generation, every MOS has it harder than those after them. You are 11 series, you will have it hard no matter where you go, you are expected to take the fight to the enemy.

Don't listen to anyone about "their experience" why you should alter your career. The Army changes every few years. What I did when I was a Private would not work today. My advice is to always spend time in the infantry before they want to try Special Forces or something else like that. You can do that in the 75th. I will tell you that the 75th is loaded up right now. I am at Benning. They recruit a vast number of recruits when they only have a few slots. It is very competitive. I once tried to go to the 75th. It didn't work for me but I went to a scout unit instead. I really enjoyed my time and I was grateful for my ability to advance without things going the way I thought the should. Good luck with your training.

Have you heard this from anyone who was an 11C in the 75th?

As we say, "Don't think about yesterday. It is gone. Don't think about tomorrow because it is not here. Think about today and getting through it." Yesterday you cannot change. You do not know what tomorrow holds, so don't worry about it. You can only focus on today and getting through it. One step at a time. You make it what you want it to be.

When I was in Bat. At the 3/75th is was nothing like the regular grunt life. First I worked my ass off to get in. Basic, AIT, Airborne then RIP (Now RASP.) You have to want it and get over all the mind fuckery that you're about to go through. And you may be an option 40 (if it's still called that) but that only promises a chance at the Selection and assessment. Basic and AIT are tough enough when you're a young kid far from home. Adding in jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and then the nightmare that is a selection and assessment course. I've seen people quit from the jump towers at Benning, I've seen others that couldn't handle the mental and physical stress of RIP. I also saw someone on here who spoke about the physical demands in your body. They're absolutely right. Special operations is a different beast. We get all the cool shit, and do some high speed stuff. But you also train for that A-L-L T--H-E T-I-M-E! It's very hard on your body. I've had 3 knee surgery a. When you land from an airborne jump you're going at least 13mph. Drop training only prepares you for so much. I also have compressed discs in my back, plate carrier, full combat load, full ruck and miles of road marches state side and many many miles of patrols on deployment. That all takes a toll on your body. Rangers do so much more then your average infantry. Bring 11Charlie isn't desirable because you're not completely trained as an infantryman. That will affect you when it comes time for promotions and school slots. You will still function as a ranger. You will most likely kick doors and fuck shit up. Or you might be stuck behind the lines listening to your brothers fuckin shit up and calling on your support. Either way, you're in Bat. You made it. You're a Ranger! Go drink, slay pussy (Tab chasers all over Benning) and wear that tab beret with pride. Some of the most bad ass mother fuckers I've ever met were in Bat. They went on to other bigger better things. But I digress, baby steps bro. Keep your focus, stay sharp, one step at a time and one school at a time. You may have had enough by the time you finish Jump school. And no longer desire that scroll. Yes the scroll, it's a way of life bro. The tab is just a school. Keep all of that in mind and best of luck fucker. R.L.T.W HOOAH

If you have the opportunity to go then go. Don’t let what you hear keep you from pursuing an amazing experience in the Regiment. Take it from someone that battled with that regret to this day!
