I am going to Fort Jackson for my next duty station as an infantryman. I was wondering if anyone had been those shoes and if so, what was their day-to-day job like? NOT GOING AS A DS.

"I'm going to Fort Jackson - what will I be doing?" is impossible to answer without additional detail.

If you have the UIC of where you're being assigned, you can perform a lookup in FMSWeb* and then research the unit as they should be listed as a tenant of Fort Jackson*

However, it's a good bet to say that you likely won't be assigned to a field unit, and if not going as a DS, then you'll likely be doing some type of training support assignment.

To tag on to what you have said, I was assigned to Ft Gordon in the late 80's for about 2 1/2 years. The first six months I was assigned special duty at the Ft Gordon Recreation Center on Clark's Hill Lake. For the remainder of my time I was assigned as a field evaluator for the radio side of MSE. As you said, he won't know until he gets there.

Also, basic used to be held at Fort Knox. Now there is an ROTC unit there.

Lotsa Infantry there, what I do not see is the Infantry Brigade that supports the post. Says the 193rd is there, but it is now a BCT Bde. Nor sure where the 197th and 198th are now. 199th is at Fort Benning being Training BDE. So I do not know what a 11x would be, perhaps an ash and trash, MOS immaterial job.

11X is a Non MOS Qualified Infantryman. Basically, once they're done with OSUT, they'll be assigned either 11B or 11C upon completion
