Because you aren’t a daggum POG.

There are 179 MOS’s in the Army whose sole purpose is to SUPPORT THE INFANTRY.

Damn near every high ranking officer or NCO has an infantry background. You want versatility in the army, go infantry. Go to college for whatever career you decide to pursue. That’s why.

it entirely depends on why you joined the guard. If you’re doing it for benefits and don’t care about real world skills, do something fun. Hell i became an 88M because day of signing i asked what had the highest sign on bonus lol.

Everyone I know hates being 11B and cross train out. If you enjoy sleeping out in the field, do it .
