What's the typical day like for a 11B vs 11C?

A Charlie is a Bravo that knows a little math.

Besides the in branch, brotherly love fighting of Bs and Cs. The only day to day difference really comes down to maintenance. A lot of the difference in your day to day will be dependent on your unit structure (light/ airborne, Stryker, Mech), your unit's mission at the time, and the quality of your leadership.

I spent my whole active time as an 11C, and deployed twice on active. One of those deployments, for certain reasons, we weren't allowed to take our mortars so I basically served as an 11B.

Both MOSs usually do, and should always, work very well together, especially in line companies. I know this isn't always the case and in some companies they aren't as efficiently blended.

As a SPC in charge of 2 Gun in a line company, with my Section Sergeant away at school I reached out to one of the 11B PSGs and asked if he would like to incorporate my section into his training that day. I'm used to working with Bs and honestly the only weapon system Bs shoot that I haven't is a javelin. Anyway, at the end of the day him and all of his SLs came up to me and thanked me because they never got to see the advantage of a mortar section maneuvering with a dismounted rifle platoon.

At the end of the day, when you get to Sand Hill and find out if you'll be a Bravo or Charlie, take it, learn the most you can from your Drills, and when you get to your unit do the best you can.

Lastly, when it comes to deployment there's a lot of variables. My 3rd deployment 2 years ago (I'm an engineer at this point), I ran across a lot of my old buddies from infantry unit's and they weren't doing the cool guy infantry stuff. They were doing mostly base security for FOBs and COPs

Well, I was 11-B, and also the FDC for the 81mm mortars, 82nd ABN and 2nd Inf. Div.

* On post with the 82nd ABN at Bragg, there was alot of training, post support, including the guard duties, and maintenance for your equipment. See picture

* Off post, Non-Combat, alot of combat training without the shooting at other people, but alot of shooting. See picture

* Deployed Combat, it's a deferent feeling all around, the talk, environment, people and how things are done, or how to get done. The brotherhood, and the caring for each other, and the closeness you get with your weapon. See picture

11B carries a rifle. 11C carries a rifle and a mortar. Your mission is still the same: close with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver to defeat or capture him, or to repel his assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack.

So, day to day as a Joe will include.
0600?-0730? PT
0730-0900 hygiene/chow
0900-1200 menial tasks/cleaning/details/ random stuff/classes
12-1300 chow
1300-? Refer to first half of the day
You’ll get off when you’re off. Should be around 1700 but it varys

Remember man, you’re the low man on the totem pole. You’re going to get stuck doing some pretty crap tasks and details. Don’t let that get you down

Typically for the infantry the only time we can really do our job is in the field. That being said find a good NCO and latch on to him and learn literally everything. Even your worst leaders you can use as a learning tool on how not to be.

Use your chain on command, really you should never talk directly to your Squad leader. That’s one thing that aggravates me is when a soldier comes directly to me when it’s a team leader issue. Plus it allows the TL to learn to do his job.

Biggest thing though, because it always happens. When you get to your unit. DO NOT FALL INTO THE NEGATIVITY. You’ll meet some dudes in your peer group (E1-E4) who will do nothing but talk trash on the unit/post. Figure it out for yourself. 9/10 it’s trash because that’s how they make it. If you wind up at hood look me up.

I had a primary MOS of 11c and a secondary MOS of 11b back in the day. When I got to Nam, my first 4 months in the bush were spent as a rifleman. After I got some seniority in, the rest of my tour was on a firebase with a mortar. But we still went out on patrol and mine sweeping duties.

OK, now that I'm done laughing, if you have to ask, you probably don't want to go there. (I was airborne infantry for 5 years, 82nd Abn Div, before I went to flight School. Just incase you were looking at my picture.) Except when you are mowing lawns and picking up cigaret butts you will be in the field. If your light infantry you will be humping 80 to 100 pounds to the company AA, and humping 40 to 60 pounds all day as you train to fight. You'll be sleeping in the swamp with the cottonmouths, or in the desert sand with the rattlesnakes. You'll always be too hot, too cold, or too wet. If that does not appeal to you then go aviation, that's what I did after 5 years in the infantry.

11C has an easier job was both

Average about the same. However, You work with a smaller group as an 11c so you can get a lot of tasks done faster(depending on the task). Training wise you are looking at different field training. It can have some pretty good perks being an 11c but also some downsides depending what you are looking to do in your military career.
