My first unit is strictly Route Clearance. I was told by an NCO if I PCS I will always be put in Route Clearance PLT/Co. How true is this?

That is not necessarily true, it depends on the unit you PCS to and the mission that that unit has.

Not every Combat Engineer unit will have the same mission. I think your NCO is just pulling your leg a little.

Not True, It is possible, but let's say you get sent to the TRADOC side of the house to help train IET Soldiers. Or if you get picked up for recruiting.

Anytime anyone says "always" ,"all" or "Every", you can count on it being BS! Where you end up depends on what your gaining units mission is and what sections they need your MOS in.

Not true at all doesn't make any sense. You go where the Army needs you and will be trained to accomplish whatever mission they need you to perform.
