What's it like being an infantry officer?

I was an NCO in the Infantry for 15 years and the Lt's always could beat our pt scores because they were in such good shape. Infantry is a great and the best MOS I believe. So if you have doubts about being Infantry then you need to do what you would like to do.

Only go Infantry if you really want to be Infantry. I've seen a number of officers who were branched Infantry, compared to others who were Infantry officers.

Here's some thoughts and observations from a angry and broken 11B platoon sergeant.
Pro- nothing will ever compare to being in charge of 35-45 hounds of hell as they do the Lords work across an objective.
Pro- everyday has different challenges, rarely the same shit, different day
Pro- hopefully you have a good senior enlisted advisor to drop knowledge bombs that will make you realize your lt education system is garbage.
Con- you will only have a plt for a little over a year, then staff time, maybe a second plt if you were shit hot. Somewhere around the 5-6 year mark you will have a company for around 2 years, then more staff time.
Con- you are the fall guy for the plt, if something is wrong it's going to be your and your plt sgt fault.
Con- property, there are no friends when it comes to property. You will be responsible for anywhere from 2-8 million dollars depending on the type of unit and if you're deployed.
Being branched Infantry is a competition, being a good Infantry officer is an ongoing competition, and it pays to be a winner.
