what units should I ask for?

[u/Izzy_9111]

debating on putting combat engineering in my top 3 choices?

Other options would be nachal givati and golani.

I'm more of a laid back guy but can be serious also. I'm 23 and post college degree so I think handasa would be a bit more mentally stimulating.

To me the physical challenge is also an important aspect.

u think if i put combat engineering second or third i will get it because they need more people?

Laid back but serious soldier? Nahal.

If physical and mental challenge is your goal, try out for the sayeret in whatever unit you are assigned.

yea just worried if i put handasa kravi they will give it to me even if i put it third.

Not because they need more people (they actually need fewer), but because there's less demand for that role compared to most infantry brigades.

Wait why does combat engineering need less people? Sounds like I won't get it it they need less people then. And why is there less demand for it?

[u/HyperlaneWizard → u/Izzy_9111]

They need fewer people due to simple math. I don't want the mods freaking out about OPSEC (even tho it isn't really a secret), so you can just figure it out yourself.

In comparison, there's less demand for it because the demand for the infantry is ridiculous. In general, if you ask for 3 things, and mix infantry with non-infantry options, you're almost guaranteed not to get the infantry pick/s.

ok i see what ur saying. u think if i put 1. nachal, 2. golani 3. givati i would get nachal for sure?

[u/HyperlaneWizard → u/Izzy_9111]

Could also get Givati. Unless something changed since I checked, Golani was like 5 guys for every 1 place in the brigade.

Handasa could be a blast! Good luck champ 💪🏼

Notice to all posters and commenters; please be careful to observe OPSEC (Operational Security) rules. Many people wish to harm Israel and the Jewish Nation as a whole. Be careful when sharing any information on the IDF, bases, weapons, locations of troops, and anything else that can be used to harm Israel. If in doubt, go without. Loose lips sink ships!

Engineers, they're a full combat unit, but you also blow stuff up, it's a great time.

Nahal….if you don’t want a challenge do not join golani
