I was hoping to get some info from anyone who has recently, or is currently serving as a 35M about what a day in the life is like and what types of training is available such as airborne etc. for current soldiers in this MOS. I’ve read many of the horror stories about 35m as well as some individuals who have had positive experiences so hoping to hear from a current 35m on their perspectives.

Your Command has to be able to justify sending you (not impossible, but very improbable) - and you have to prove that you have what it takes - which is above and beyond the &quot;average&quot; infantryman, let alone the average HUMINTer.<br /><br />There are also some MOS-specific schools, like SOC or DSDC, but those are all advanced schools and you have to prove yourself within the MOS first. Once it comes time for you to start thinking about those schools, your NCOs will help guide your decisions and preparation.<br /><br />And, of course, there is DLI. But I assume you know about that already. SFC Casey O'Mally Fri, 11 Dec 2020 02:54:24 -0500 2020-12-11T02:54:24-05:00 2020-12-09T22:57:33-05:00
