25U/31U as a feeder to 18E?

[amatlis]

If any 18 echo's don't mind sharing their wisdom, I'm curious how many of you took the 25U course (previously 31U) and found it useful as a feeder to 18E. I had planned to push for an 11B rep-63 contract, but wiser minds suggest 25U would be a good use of my time. I may not have a choice, in any case, as it seems National Guard requires feeder MOS's that correspond to each 18 series. I originally wanted 11B so I could keep it short and focus on PT, but I've heard that you aren't given enough time in the day in 11B for sufficient PT.

Thanks in advance!
