I served in the Infantry for twenty three years and all officers have a duel MOS and for most of them it is Infantry due to my understanding, I served with General Milly when we were in the 10th Mountain together and he is a hell of a soldier. We deployed to Somalia in 93 and he was an excellent leader in my book.

My short observation of the Army (6 years as a DAC) shows that most General Officers have some combat arms experience. Most had the CIB or CAB and many had jump wings or air assault. Also, they had unit leadership in most every rank and experience on Service and Joint Service staffs. Even on the logistics side where I worked, most of the CGs had combat arms experience. The future may hold greater status for non-traditional combat organizations, such as cyber warfare. Same was generally true for CSMs, although we had at least one who didn't have a CIB or CAB.

I have known 10 SGM/CSMs in my career. Not one of them was 11B. I admit that part of that is due to the structure of the Reserves, but it does show that any determined leader can excel with a strong drive. Many SGMs have had broadening assignments. I suggest you look at Drill Sergeant, Recruiter and TRADOC while balancing your leadership time in line units.

Maybe to reach the very top, but actually there are Generals and CSM of every MOS.

The Infantry is the quintessential branch in the military; all activities; operations and ultimately all focus rests on the Sildiers and Leaders of the Queen of Battle. You have an exponentially higher potential tonwxcel if you rise through the ranks of the Infantry; though many other routes are good to think about-andany others do very well in other Branches; it is and will always be the Infantry that the Army revolves around...follow me!
