Thank you Surgicalcric. That is what I'm trying to determine - if it's a guard specific thing that ties the hands of my recruiter. However, talking to Doug, it may be a unit specific thing. I'm trying to figure out if the recruiter is giving me the straight-up or not. It sounds like maybe he is telling it like it is for the 19th in West Virginia.
I understand the needs of the Guard, which makes sense. However, if I didn't make it through for some reason, I would apply for an officer slot. I'm just not that interested in being a 25U.
On the other hand, if 25U is considered a good preparation for 18E, I would definitely consider it. I don't do commo for my civilian job. I just didn't want to spend the 18 weeks for commo school, if I don't need to. I like the fact that 11B is short and hopefully helps me maintain some fitness, whereas I'd probably be sitting around in class all day for 25U. Doug just told me that 11B did not provide much physical fitness, but I have to think it's better than 25U. I will listen to wiser minds if it is recommended that I go to commo school instead of infantry.
Thanks!
