What's the difference between a demo man and an Engineer? An Engineer can do everything a demo man can but also a whole lot more.

I took pride in being an Engineer. Bridges (building & classification), Building Construction, Route Recon and the hundreds of other related items. I got other MOSs but the 18C was the most useful.

How many Team Sergeants will send their Engineers down for a week to help with building Habitat for Humanity homes? I would.
It's not that I only wanted to demo, I just would've liked to have also done demo. How's this for irony though? Right after I graduated the 18F course the engineers on my team were finally able to secure a demo range that did not get canceled and then a few months later when I went to ANCOC I discovered that they did not have an 18F ANCOC so I had to go through as an 18C and again I got to got to a demo range. I have done more demo since I stopped being an engineer than when I was one.
