<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Always do what the nice 11Bs and airmen tell you to do...<br /><br />Oh, and can you send me a mixed bag of parachute apexes and flight line?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Stay away from mechanized and enjoy being a light scout. snoopin around rather than driving in a super loud Bradley

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In serious speak, grab the Skill Level 1 manual (if they skill have em, try apb on AKO) and start studying. The best scouts are the ones who actually learn what a Scout can do, and not just spit out a couple buzz words they heard like &quot;snooping and poopin&quot; &quot;recon&quot; &quot;when in doubt, shoot the Scout&quot;. Learn you demo formulas, learn screen lines, area-zone-route recons, be able to draw a sector sketch with proper military symbols, know your blue, green, and yellow reports. Know the max range and effective ranges of the weapon systems (there&#39;s a lot of em!). It&#39;s a huge manual (level 1 is thicker than 11B 1, 2, 3, and 4 combined! suck it cmf 11!). We need scouts who know scouting, not pretending to be infantry or tankers.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I first enlisted as a scout and for a top suggestion would be to keep your PT up and know your weapon systems. Fundamentals of reconnaissance is another one to read up on too. I would suggest doing your SSD 1 at arrival at your unit when you can as it will show your leaders you want to excel. Tradition is huge in the Cav and you will love it. Enjoy the spur ride! Scouts Out!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Keep every piece of documentation the army gives you regardless of how non-important you think it is. You will likely need it in the future.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The radio is your most powerful weapon.indirect fire and land navigation are crucial.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>First off, Congratulations, but you will probably ask yourself why you did a lot of times. You will probably actually love that you did, just not while you&#39;re wondering why you did. It is a limited population and most regular folks will think you&#39;re actually crazy. Most Scouts I knew were highly competitive and will always aim for the highest scores. If you meet the standards, you will be miles behind of promotions. You want a max score on PT, SQT, ARTEP, and a new thing called Gunnery. A low score on any of these topics will put you on a &quot;catch up&quot; coarse. If you can&#39;t run 10 miles without resting, you better start beating feet. I&#39;ve covered over 30 miles in a single night, although only carrying assault gear, so myself and 50 pounds of weapons/ammo/gear. Lastly, you have got to be comfortable in the dark, because most Scouts only move after dinner chow. Never give up, Rock Steady.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Its a fun job, but depending on the unit that you&#39;ll get assigned too you can be in a wide variety of places. I am currently at 1/25th SBCT 5-1 CAV Ft Wainwright, but you can go to a Bradley unit as well or light. Stay motivated!
