What was it like to go from office worker to essentially Infantry by reclassifying to combat arms/12B?

I was a 12b myself and can tell you that you shouldn’t compare one MOS to another. There has been a healthy competition between most combat arms, but the infantry rightly deserves the crown. However, have pride in your MOS and the service you perform. With that being said, know that a 12b, when deployed, see a far amount of combat. Between route clearance and breaching obstacles you will find out the difference between combat support and combat arms. Know that going in. As far as civilian jobs go, being a 12b will allow you to train on a wide variety of equipment and task, making you a bit of a jack of all trades. When I got out I was able to operate heavy equipment easily, finding jobs was nothing.

I’ll tell you the exact same thing my recruiter said- it’s just like college.

Math related career fields lends to a host of civilian opportunities. As you may know; it is the foundation for engineering and technology. Paperwork will always be a part of the job. Maybe that's an area of growth that you target and defeat. As a corporate Recruiter, I wished I seen more of our military veteran community come across the screen so we can bring them on board to great and financially rewarding careers in tech. As a veteran, do you and unapologetically, go for what you have a passion. Thank you for serving, most importantly.
