Scored a 90 on the ASVAB, I chose 11B. I did two deployments in Afghanistan with a Prestigious Light Infantry unit. I loved it.
Now I am a Nasty Girl in a unit that is best known for shooting Hippies at Kent State. |

There are two Armies.
The Infantry and Everyone else. Just remember, there are 212 ways you can support the Infantry. I have enjoyed my time as a medic. Specifically my Line time...no greater honor then patrolling with a platoon of 11B's. if you go the 11B route, prepare your anus and enjoy your time. If you go support route, just remember you are not the center of the Army and you are there to support the Infantry. |

11C Mortar Maggot....blew up stuff, lost 30% of my hearing in the left ear. You get to do most of the tough, character building cool stuff the Riflemen do, with a little less BS, and dropping more HE downrange. If you get 81mm or 120mm, less walking, too.

Why are you joining? That will have a huge impact on what MOS is the best fit for you. If exercise isn't your thing, you probably don't want combat arms, especially not infantry, artillery, or armor. If you like running, infantry might be your game. Like lifting weights, look at armor or artillery... Want a marketable skill, you're probably better off with signal or one of the other support branches. But you don't hear too many cool stories from those guys :-)

Consolidated by Uncle into 11B Secondary of 31B I'd say go with 11B as long as you're young and able to hack it. Regardless, any choice is better than the choice made by 97% of the population that made the choice to limit their personal military experience to Fort Living Room, Camp Moms Basement and whatever version of Call of Duty they're running |

Here's your mop, back on the boat shipwreck. OP, former USMC here, junior enlisted in any branch is like a big ass four year frat party where the chicks never show up. Somebody, somewhere, said it and I have never heard it summed up any better. Pick something you are remotely interested in, don't settle for anything. If you get an MOS you don't like, you won't be engaged in your work, and you'll go through the motions for four years. You won't be doing yourself or the Army any favors unless you can become committed to your job and buy into it, all false motivation aside. |

97 for me, GT 127. Horribly colorblind. I was 27D, paralegal aka JAG Captain babysitter. Deployed with a battalion, was BN commander's driver in 2003. Second trip was foreign claims NCOIC for northern half of Iraq. There's a broad range of jobs within the MOS, but I mostly hated my last 3 years at division JAG office.
 So I got out.
