The only time you'll ever actually DO your MOS is when we are at war, which we haven't had a war in decades now. But as others have said, you're in a combat type job in the Army. I'm not cavalry scout (one of my drill sergeants was) so I can't tell you about it specifically. It'll come in handy.Īre the Souls of all dead Troopers camped, You should just start memorizing this now. Don't take an inch of shit about being cav, once you've earned your place. Add in the radio coordination of fires and engineering missions, and the 19D is probably the most powerful and high impact asset on any battlefield. People make fun of 19Ds but the 11s don't know the range of skill sets, weapons and gear the cav does. Airborne 19Ds tend to bounce back and forth between Polk and Bragg, and now Alaska. If you know you are going to be there for a 2-3 years, you talk with your NCOs when you hit the ground about that goal and spend time developing as solider, hit selection in that last 6 months or so of your first term. Its also a great place to train for SF selection. I went from E1-e5 in a little under 3 years there, 22 jumps, if I stayed I could have gotten pathfinder and jumpmaster locked down in my 1st reup contract. But the job will provide you action and training/school slot opportiunties big army probably won't, and can be a huge springboard if you play it right. You'll play laser tag for a living for a while and learn a ton of good stuff. See if you can get Airborne in your contract and try to get assigned to JRTC at Ft Polk.
