If you could say one "best" job in the Army, what would it be?

Answer 1

My husband is 11B Infantry, he loves it. Has been active duty for ten years! He is now going threw selection for Special Forces. I would guess it would be those?

Answer 2

my answer is;

I was in Communications. I would have gone for Helicopter Mech. if I could do it all over again. Also I would have gone in the Air Force instead of the Army.

That is my answer

Answer 3

Captain - Desert Storm

Definately learn to fly and get yourself into a Boeing AH-46 Apache.

Nothin' strikes fear into hostile infantry like the sight of one of these babies and nothin' will send those nasty moozies to Allah quicker than an 8 second burst on the twin chainees!

Answer 4

My husband would tell you infantry.

He has been in for 11 years.

Answer 5

i joined the british army, they told us that recruits lasted 6 weeks, well 9 months later we were still in recruits.  we spent our time ironing our underpants, putting them into blocks and putting creases in our bed sheets.  i probably fired my rifle a dozen times, and it was converted to a .22 should've been a 7.62 SLR.  Our instructors were alcoholics, psychos and would have us run, push up and a nasty beating called "beasting" every day for minor infractions. which is all fair enough but sexual punishments are against military rule of law.

Needless to say, i was dissolusioned and rather taken aback that the Army is total s##t, boring and  lacks excitement.  i fired more ammo and used more weapons as a 15 year old army cadet than i ever did in the regulars.

but i rejoined when i was 25 into the british reserve forces (Territorial Army) to somehow prove to myself i could hack basic training and receive my cap badge, plus i really missed being in the army!  i did receive it and enjoyed the freedom of being a part time soldier and also being free during the week to persue women, song and pleasure.

i feel bad for the guys that choose to make a life out of this, especially foreign legion lads but live in slavery for 5 years.  what's the point. join part time, its more fun and keeps you in the best of both worlds.

I'm 37 now, I live in the US and again I'm getting that military itch again.
