Looking at dropping a conditional release to go active duty. Considering 13F. Can any 13F’s tell me about their day to day life and if they’d recommend the MOS?

You train. As a 13f you are the deadliest person on the battlefield. For my platoon I had them in the CFF trainer 3 times a week and if you were skill level 1 you couldn’t do skill level 2 CFF until you knew the 3 basic CFF inside and out. You are suppose to be the fittest soldiers also. I loved being a 13F. It also depends on your leadership!!! Good Luck FISTER!!!

Depends on unit to unit. If the unit you get is light or mechanized. If you are a leg or a paratrooper. Then it depends on if the unit you go to has consolidated back to DIVARTY or guys are still attached to manuever companies. You train, do details, or conduct whatever other troop to task duties the 1SG assigns you to. Would love to give you more specificity, but 99% of things come down to the above factors

Depends on your duty station. I can tell you, during work time, we run "what if" drills, like what would you do In this situation. Definitely an amazing job, but its your leadership that make or break it.
