99C - SkillCraft Technician .
As a former 11B Airborne Infantry soldier let me be CLEAR, there is NOTHING cool about being in the infantry. It SUCKS ASS and I was a super motivated soldier and made E-5 in two years. First, you are always out, unprotected in the elements. You are either sweating your balls off or freezing them off, getting rained on for days and still training soaked head to toe.....SUCKS. In the field, chow SUCKS! MRE's may be a bit better than when I was in but an MRE is an MRE. Imagine going for WEEKS without a shower, your hair so caked with dirt you start getting dread locks. Imagine humping 120 pounds of combat gear in 90 degree heat through some of the toughest terrain this planet has to offer, soaked like you just got out of a pool in sweat. I don't care who you are, that is MISERABLE! Another unfortunate aspect of being in the infantry is you will be surrounded by some of the dumbest people on the planet, for them the Infantry was their only choice. I had a 123 GT score and I was one of the three smartest guys in the battalion by a LARGE MARGIN. I was on a career fast track, E5 in 2 years, I had my EIB, Airborne and Air assault wings and was getting ready to go to Ranger school until a training accident left me with three bad compression fractures and bulging disks. The Army decided that surgery would be to expensive and there was no guarantee I would ever be able to perform my job as an infantry soldier so they cut bait and gave me a medical discharge. So I was all in, a motivated hard charger and the Army would rather throw me away instead of trying to fix me. Trust me when I say that in the infantry the Army does not give a F about you in the slightest.
I think the only reason why peacetime infantry is considered "cool" is to dumbass naive kids who haven't joined the Army, and they actually think signing up for infantry is going to let them be real life Call of Duty.
I might consider infantry to be "cool" *if you were actually DOING your job* , which is being deployed in a combat zone and being on an open battle field like world war 2 or being in a jungle like Vietnam and shooting. *But since we are in PEACETIME, what's the point of being infantry when you CAN'T do your job* and the only time you actually doing anything related to it is when you are in the field (as you said, *going for WEEKS without a shower* ).
Peacetime 11B might not be quite so bad if you are an *OFFiCER* But Enlisted infantry seems to be *REALLY STUPID AS HELL* because according to everyone I've talked to who's done it, *you are micromanaged even more and treated even more like little moronic children (you can't spell "infantry" without "INFANT")* than other MOS, and the Army already treats enlisted soldiers like children to a worse degree than other branches like the Air Force.
All you hear and see about garrison enlisted infantry kids doing is doing hard PT in the mornings, then spending the day doing clean up details and sweeping the motorpool in order for leadership to keep them busy because there's nothing else for them to do.
Then there seems to be more fuck fuck games than other MOS and mass punishments like still being dropped for pushups because infantry pretty much is the closest thing to basic training.
*FUCK INFANTRY*
Oh and THEN there's the fact that infantry sets you up for NOTHING in the real world when you get out the military (even if you did do 20 years and retire, you'll still have to leave eventually). And I *DARE* somebody to say "you can use your GI Bill" which is *ass backward thinking* because it would be better to use your GI Bill *AS A BACKUP* to a translatable job.
And something else about the field that sucks in addition to what you said about going weeks without a shower (and also dealing with your bosses 24/7, and also the fact that you can't contact your family at all because there's no mobile data/internet and that's even assuming you'd be allowed to have a cell phone at all since some commands ban you from having a cell phone to even listen to music in your downtime).
I won't forget a lady telling me about her husband who was infantry and got out as an E6. She said that since her husband ate so much garbage in the form of MRE's and also what was prepared by cooks in the field, when he got out of the field and came home, his digestive system was so messed up that when he took a shit, it stunk out the whole house.
Yeah, fuck infantry. Pick a better MOS, outside of combat Army, and if possible, outside of FORSCOM period, or just join the Air Force (and avoid a MOS in aircraft maintenance) or Space Force or Coast Guard and avoid the Army/Marines altogether.
@@golfery5119then what’s the fucking point god so many people have different experiences some good some bad man the elements aren’t for everyone
Got some crybabies in here. Y'all need a Kotex.
@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Yes, infantry is difficult and not for everyone. What I'm getting from your diatribe is that you're just a jaded asshole with a superiority complex.
@golfery5119 Infantry teaches adaptability in the face of adversity and gives limited exposure to a wide range of other fields. My unit had to fix our own vehicles and install our own indoor plumbing on our COP in Afghanistan. If someone is struggling to find gainful employment then they need to get professional help building a resume. As for your bullshit about college, the purpose of the GI Bill is to allow folks to get a degree in the field of their choosing. That can be supplemental to their MOS training, or get them into a brand new field.
Thanks for the inspiration I leave tomorrow for infantry osut 😂
Your MEPS video helped me show up confident and get through MEPS w no problem. I'm officially enlisted now as a 37F in the Army Reserves!
How did you get that MOS?
That’s great!
@@hazelrodriguez7575 scored a 98 on the ASVAB and my recruiters a great guy and hooked me up. A nearby battalion had a few openings.
Ahhhh a future Used Car Salesman I see.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 😂 nah. If nothing related to it works out, I’ll become a LEO
Keep up the good work man, your videos really help out! Enlisted as a 12B baby! Shipping out tomorrow super excited but also super nervous. Only thing I’m nervous about is reception I chipped a tooth and afraid they will disqualify me but hoping for the best.
Thank you and best of luck bro!

Hey Ben should I get my emt certification first then enlist into the army as a 68w? Or just go straight in as enlisted ?
@TheBenAllen. Howdy from Houston. Probably not the best place to ask, but any recommendations on a useful watch for BCT or 68W AIT? I know when our 11B was at Benning years back, we got him the cheapest thing that was rugged enough to get him through OSUT, but anything particularly popular with soldiers going through Ft Sam Houston?
how long does it take to switch from reserves to active duty after joining?
Son is at BCT at Ft Sill and then going 68 Whiskey! Then off to Airborne school! So proud!!!
I’m red/green color deficient so I couldn’t get into 25B do you know if there is any waivers for that if not is there a list of MOS I qualify for with my color deficiency status?
Brother can you make a video explain the new army law: courage to serve act.
I'm shipping out on April 2nd and a proud 88M but looking forward to changing my MOS as soon as i get a higher score in ASVAB later on! How’s this MOS? Actually, I didn't choose it myself
I wouldn’t say it’s the best
There is almost ZERO chance of changing your MOS once you are in. It is cheaper for the Army to train a new recruit than retrain a veteran. Don't buy that BS the recruiter is telling you, you will be STUCK driving trucks for the duration of your time in the Army.
Soon to be 88N with a reserve unit in Germany here
Thinking about getting back in, is it worth getting back in after 30 e-4 and can you explain prior service business rules? I was 13B cannon crew member but would like to switch mos
Don’t do it man it’s not worth it new army isn’t all that
Plus you can make more income especially if you have a family
Can you gather any info on 42a or 36b orrr 92y I can’t find much info from personal experienced people. Thanks for the video ❤️
dont know too much about them. a little but not too much. I'd say 92y should be the last choice. 42A should be in the middle, and 36B should be your first choice if possible.
@@golfery5119 thank you ❤️
I just started becoming interested in the army and joining. Does anyone know the MOS where you do some Demining (for clarification where you go around with metal detectors ahead of convoy’s scanning for IED’s and land mines) I would think that EOD specialists do that?
I did that in the marines I was a combat engineer the army has that too i believe it’s 13B
@@WLKE212B
@Aidan do 12B MOS
Being a medic varies on experiences but you are NOT a PARAMEDIC you are an EMT-B. If you wish to be an AEMT or PARA/flight that's something you do on your own time just putting that out there.
The Army is working on transitioning the 68W to produce an AEMT cert (still working on the kinks mainly the basic level cardiology level training). Also you can volunteer to go to the Combat Paramedic Course which will give you your Paramedic, and if you wanna go further you could always volunteer for DUSTOFF/Flight Paramedic which will give you your NRP and prep you if you chose to take the FP-C.
Buddy system anyone ? Going into the army aswell
Still need a buddy how’s it work I’m currently enlisting?

Going in as 19k, heard it was dying and they told me to change my mos, going fort Moore or also known as fort benning, Georgia next month on the 15th
why is 19k dying ?
you mean 19d yea it is idk why it’s turning some else i wanted to be cav
So if you join 11bravo can you work up to become a 18x candidate?
No, 18X is a contract you enlist with to guarantee a slot at Airborne school and SFAS. You can go to SFAS as an 11b (or any MOS) and then if you get selected and pass the Q-course, you’ll change your MOS to 18 series (18B, 18C, 18D, and 18E are the entry-level ones).
Not til your next contract
@@Daily_Bassist appreciate it bro lot of help I’m 22 and want to to serve for many different reasons but I’m new to all of this information I don’t have any military family so RUclips helps lol for the most part ik I have to go out and do it for myself as well but I don’t wanna get fucked over by a recruiter
@@ROTR.RI3L I’m an 18X myself shipping in June. Your instincts are right, so make sure you do a lot of research on your own and fact check your recruiter. Not everything on the internet is 100% true but recruiters sometimes don’t give you entirely accurate information. Make sure whatever you pick is something you’re willing to commit to.
12B is a fun one from my experience, highly recommend
Hell no. You're basically infantry , which means you do nothing but clean up shit all day and work in the motorpool because you have nothing else to do (and this is after doing hard unnecessary PT because you are basically infantry), since obviously you'll NEVER DO your job unless you were deployed in war and the only time you'll do anything related to it is when you are "training" when you are in the field for weeks without cleaning your ass. Screw 12B as well as 11B.
@@golfery5119 that’s cool chump, but I’m in the guard so whatever u said don’t apply
@@seanmallet Then how the fuck could any MOS in the guard be "a fun one" since you're GUARD and not active, chump?
@seanmallet 👎 calling someone a chump online is corny, bet you wouldn't say that to his face.
@@michaeld.wilkins7124 😂okay buddy let’s just disregard the reason I said it in the first place. Lmao
Hey I got 98m what’s your opinion on it
Any other 12N's out there?
I ship may 13 as 68w and im certain i mad the right choice. Everyone ive asked said they had no regrets doing it.
Where are you going for basic ? I also ship on May 13th
Same going as 68c
The EMT phase of 68w is stressful. You will have to study a lot with exam every week. You have to pass NREMT. I have seen a lot of people get recycled and reclassed from 68w. Once you pass NREMT, you will love Whiskey phase with more fun
@@JhonyQuindewhere you going for basic ?
@@alexlimon6058 fort sill
There is NOTHING cool about being in Combat Arms in the Army. You are an asset, an expendable asset and the Army will use you up and spit you out. Work hard, study and get as high a score possible on the ASVAB. Get a job like Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technician, MRI Tech. You won't be cannon fodder in wars for the 1%, you will get trained in a field that will ALWAYS have a job waiting for you after the Army. MRI Tech's average about 80k a year in salary.
Yep, Pick a better MOS outside of combat Arms, and if possible something that would have your outside of Forscom, or just join the Air Force (and don't get an aircraft maintenance job) or Space Force or Coast Guard.
I know a lot of 25Bs, they would not agree. lol
I was a 92G and liked it😊
If you were active duty, then you probably spent quite a bit of time in admin and/or rations instead of shift work. You probably also were favored enough by leadership that they allowed you to rank up faster if you got to NCO rank.
Aside from that, I don't see HOW anyone could actually like 92G. I've even had several 92G NCO's admit that the MOS absolutely sucks.
92G is one of the worst things you can get into regardless of how much you like working with food.
13B here
I ship out april 30 as a 92G Cook anyone here already a cook that can give me some feedback of being a cook
I have to ask, why would you sign up to be a cook?
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 honest truth brother Is cause I have experience already in the kitchen and wanted use the skills in the army
@@PeterBone2104 I AM an active duty 92G. I can tell you A WHOLE FRIGGIN ESSAY about being a 92G and why you SHOULD NOT be a cook in the military.
My advice to you is, *even if you have experience cooking in a restaurant and you have a passion for working with food.... DO NOT be a fucking cook in the military*
If you still *INSIST* on being a cook in the military, then *AT LEAST* consider Air Force Services instead of Army 92G.
Since your ship date is April 30, I would strongly advise you to take this time AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to talk to your recruiter to get it cancelled. You are *NOT OBLIGATED until you actually ship out* And you WON'T be permanently disqualified for cancelling.
Pick a better MOS (not combat arms, of course), or just see if you can switch branches to the Air Force or Coast Guard, and if you for some strange reason STILL want to be a cook, do it with THOSE branches instead of the Army.
Like I said, If you still insist on being Army 92G and you really want to know what it's like, I can tell you a whole lot about 92G, *but it'll be so much information* that you're probably just going to zone out after the first sentence.

im guessing 68w got the top spot cus most of your viewers are or wanna be medics haha cus no way 18x is not on the top spot followed by 13f
18x is trash in terms of best jobs out there, it does rank high on the cool factor tho, but most people who go wash out and have to pick a different mos
