Just chose my MOS!

I hear they now get a "time out" card to flash at the DI when they feel it is all just "too much". I have one young Solider that has complained the "Civilians" in the shop are giving him a hard time.

you heard correct its a card you raise when your drill sgt is "stressing you out" and he has to back off. Kind of bullshit if you ask me I won't be using it.

I just got back from the Army recruiter's office and i picked my Job 12B (combat engineer)! I ship to Basic on September 9th. i am super excited! i can't wait to go to basic and where ever the Army will take me! I just had to tell someone Haha! If there are any current or former combat engineers out there i would love to see what you thought of it just out of curiosity. Thanks for looking i'm sure most don't care but i just had to tell someone just excited!

I'm with the reserves with the 364th Sapper Engineers, curious if you joined the reserves or active duty?

I was a 19D (cav scout) when I was active duty, 12B is pretty good. I'm in a good unit where the nco's are on top of their 12B skills which reflects the good leadership.

I had basic at Camp Chaffee, Ark back in 1955 and I survived it just fine. My grandson joined the Army just one year ago and said basic is now a "piece of cake". Thanks for deciding to take the plunge and stay safe.

My dad finished up his Army service at Ft. Chaffee in '56.

Now you can run around saying "Engineers are just like the infantry"

Congrats and thank you for your future service.
