I'm not an echo, but I need one.

And if I were hiring you, I'd rather you had an infantry background. I can send you to school to learn radios. Patrolling, et al, are life skills. I was in tanks prior to going SF. I make up for my shortcomings by surrounding myself with guys who I know started in places harder than I did. My team is my security blanket.

Not only would I go 11B, I'd go ahead and get that V tacked on there. Unless you just want to be a commo guy with a green beret, in which case do your 25U or whatever. Some people are better at support. That's not meant to be an insult, it's just the way it is.
