![]() ![]() The army has a lot of MO schools and this one requires a different set of training all together. You can expect a lot of time on the roads aka (deserts), searching out IEDs, or exploiting enemy positions. Overall, I'd say go with Cavalry, though of course I'm biased. Of course Heavy Cavalry at least (I only ever served in a Heavy Cavalry Regiment) has more firepower per troop than most infantry Battalions have, which is DEFINITELY a point in its favor when things get hot. That being said, it's also alittle more dangerous, since the Cavalry is usually the first "in contact", and frankly it doesn't take much to kill a CFV if you run into armor or significant quantities of ATGM. The infantryman, however, gets to spend more time on the small arms range, forced marches, and generally NOT having to tinker with machinery more complex than what they will carry day to day.įrankly I found my short term as a cav scout to be rather interesting, and I certainly learned more about ground combat than the basic training I got could ever have covered. He also spends more time on map reading at the lower skill levels, as well as direction of fire, hasty minefield placement, obstacle reduction or avoidance (facines are of little use to leg infantry) and a bunch of other things. ![]() A Cavalry Scout is first and foremost a versatile combatant.Ī Cav scout, for instance, would spend some of his days at the motor pool servicing his vehicle, something leg infantry doesn't worry much about (but Mech infantry does). If you are going from one Army MOS to another, you shouldn't have to lose rank but I think you would lose your P status.Note that the 19D training is a superset (not including speciality schools) of Infantry training, and combines elements of Armor, Combat Engineering, MANPAD ADA, and other things. If you were other than Army, like the Navy, etc.be prepared to be "teased" a little because you know, the Navy jokes, Air Force jokes, etc.but don't be a dumb ass on the range like flagging someone or doing whatever.Īs for you losing rank, that is for your recruiter to decide if you were out of the military for X amount of years. Could change but don't expect it right then and there. ![]() Well, I know that the inserts are able to go off post only when the Troop makes it to certain phases. Tell the DS.Īs for freedom, why are you concerned about that? Just asking. Obviously, you cannot smoke them or lock them up. Don't be the barracks lawyer or the PNN, Private News Network anchorman. Like I actually despise the people who do that to them. That already de-motivates them and already has a mind set of how the Army is, then their morale is down prior to even starting. If you were Army before, most of the privates are going to ask what is the army like day to day, just don't be that douchebag who tells horror stories about how "the army sucks", "you're going to hate life", and "I heard about that unit and they suck". Be prepared to be with young privates again who will get you and your Platoon smoked. ![]() Be prepared to assist the DS with getting things in order. The "inserts" will have some kind of leeway BUT be prepared to drop when they drop. You mentioned prior service as in you were other than Army? ![]()
