No matter how you look at it, when all else fails the task will be pased to the engineers. Be it building, wiring, fixing or digging somehow they'll all look at you and say it's your job. As an engineer, after you get on a team, you should also be almost as up to speed on the 18B stuff as the weapons guys. Then you'll need to know how to use the primary radios and treat the wounded. Yeah, over time you'll get real good at multi tasking.

It's not so important to know everything about engineering as it is to know where to find the info and apply it.

There is a big bronze statue of some dude down at Ft Benning. He has his arm up in the air and it says "Follow me". The rest of the sentence is "I'm right behind the engineers." That's an old time 12B dig on the infantry.
