I am a recent OSUT grad and was assigned to a Delta Company (heavy weapons company). All I really know is normal line infantry content. What makes a good 11H. Do you dismount and still run battle drills? Generally looking for advice for a new specialist?

As the SFC stated H’s we’re pretty much removed, you still train on the TOW system? I was originally 11H ‘95’ but deployed as a 11B in ‘04’ and again after that. Yes ground mount needs trained but it’s mostly mounted for use if we’re talking TOW system.

Make sure you can attend the ITAS Crew Course and when you can attend Heavy Weapons Leader's Course (HWLC)

Absolutely not. I’m assuming since you’re in a Delta Co that you’re in an airborne unit. Your primary Focus should be on employing your missile systems. If you find yourself in a situation where you have to go toe to toe in a small arms fight, someone fucked up. I’m an instructor at the Heavy Weapons Leader Course at Ft. Benning. I can talk for days about tactics.

I think 11H went the way of 11D and other similar infantry type MOS', and now we only have 11B and 11C and of course 11A with no warrant feeder for the infantry unlike the Marine Corps.
