Without the sarcasm, what is the life of a 19D like? Currently I am considering reclassifing and want to know what the deal is?

like everyone has said were super tight nit, especially if you end up in a combined arms battalion you'll be the only scout platoon out of 500-600 people. So those dudes turn into your best friends. Depending how your s3 operates you'll end up doing some pretty fun missions out in the field or you'll be sitting on a screen line for half a day. When your not training its pretty simple. Motor pool mondays making sure the brads, humvee's, MATV's whatever you have work, taking care of your weapon systems, mark 19s, 50 cal, LRSS, and then all the trivial army stuff everybody else has to deal with. Overall it comes to your unit. One unit on hood was terrible, got transfered to another unit and we were doing missions being dropped in by chinooks and blackhawks, going out with jtacs and calling for fire. Final point.. when you get to do your job and train its a hell of a fun time

I knew many Cav Scouts who came over to 18 series from the 19 series... they used to tell many stories of running Recon out in front of the main Body of troops... they were all Close and The Cave Has it own Frat ...

From what I have experienced working with Cav Scouts, they pretty much do recon and roll into battle on the lighter side of armor. But like any combat arms, they are a crazy tight nit group of Soldiers.
