Hey im about to leave to fort leanerwood during the summer for combat engineer any tips or reviews on how this mos is for basic camp,deployment,and after you get out ?
It's been 14 years since I did OSUT at Leonardwood. I don't have a clue what it's like now, but assume the weather is still spastic and shitty. Deployments depend on the unit you're in. Some of them are arduous and fun, some are tedious and shitty. There's really not many civilian job skills you get from this job that you wouldn't get from an MOS like infantry. I don't know a single person that used their 12B specific job experience and crosswalked it to any nearly similar civilian counterpart. Chances are you'll be alright regardless
Mark Langley yea i always wanted to go to the army to do things i couldt do as a civilian plus if i was going to learn a job i could do it without the military. Plus i heard that the things you learn while in the army can help you out in any situation outside of it.
That’s just how the army is. Everyone hates their job. Infantrymen hate their job. Tankers hate their job. Military police hate their job. Engineers do. Join to do what you want, not what others are telling you to do. If you like office work, pick an admin job. If you like blowing stuff up, pick engineer. If you like being the janitor who is also trained to kill, pick infantry. If you like being in a hot hunk of metal for 8 hours with 3 other guys, pick tanker. They all have their own rewards
Better than Benning I’ll tell you that. Benning sucks, hard. Even 30th AG reception made people want to kill themselves. Jackson is the best place to go as far as quality of life goes but you also won’t get in depth combat training because Jackson doesn’t train combat MOS
Build and fight my brothers! 12B!! 20th Engineers reporting!
Much respect thinking about becoming a combat engineer for the (CAF)
Thank you guys for your unselfish service
Just picked 12B as my MOS for the Army.!!

Bravo 31st! Black Phase demo day was the best. You'll understand why.
Joyce Malone I don’t think your dad’s experience reflects at all what I did. I think it’s quite different nowadays.
