Hey SPC, I just enlisted as 25S. My recruiter also happens to be 25S. He said when in school, be in the top and try and get Strategic, not Tactical. No matter how cool "tactical" sounds, you will learn more at a strategic location. You also are at bigger better bases with better location. Good luck and hooah! - PVT MR

I was at as strat site and I learned very little. It was also one of the worst facilities I have ever worked at. I was excited traveling through Hawaii on the way to the site. When we got there I thought I was back in Iraq. Now I'm pretty much in a staff position. Also, remember your first words in basic, MY RECRUITER LIED TO ME!

SPC (Verify To See) - Good to know SPC, not trying to step on toes, I am just repeating what I was told by my recruiter who is a 25S. Why is it competition for strat sites is high compared to tac though?

I have been on both sides of the fence. There is a ton to learn on both sides. You just have to be hungry for it. Both sides can be boring, both sides can have a grind you down tempo...it just depends where you go and if you are a go getter.
I was trained strategic, and went to a tactical unit(MSE). Next assignment was a step site. Next assignment, back to tactical(WIN-T). I am now an instructor.

Also he said the schoolhouse is way on the far end of the base away from barracks, so you don't have to march. They bus you instead.
