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.
When you say infantry background, do you mean basic+ait 11B, or do you mean actual time spent in infantry? I am going rep-63 directly into SFAS after my MOS.

Also, what is the V you mention?

Thanks!
