I'm no longer a Grunt! I don't know what to do.

[98-LS1]

I went from being an 11B which is a pack humping foot soldier to a
21B, a Combat Engineer. Oh boy, now I get to clear mine fields and blow stuff up. Guess I'm still a grunt, or just a step up from one. I go to school in October to reclass. Is anyone on here a 21B? I had to reclass since I'm transferring to a new unit which is coming online at the end of the year.

I've got about 14 more years until I retire or less if something happens to me. It's going to be a while before I call it quits, I actually enjoy this Army stuff. Guess I'm strange but to me it's alot of fun, well, being away from home on deployments isn't any fun but the AT's and drill weekends are.

Yep, don't know where as of yet though. They have to find an opening somewhere for my 21B school.

Man that is good times .. No drill no PT just days of class . Have Fun ...

[98-LS1]

I'm looking forward to the school, should be educational and fun. I'm just curious what being deployed as a 21B would be like. I've never really worked with any of them guys.

skills is necessary when it comes to tackling rough terrain in combat situations. Combat Engineers primarily supervise, serve or assist as a member of a team. They provide much-needed combat engineering, such as building roads, constructing bridges or helping our forces to move across foreign land.

Some of your duties as a Combat Engineer may include:

Constructing trails, roads and field fortifications such as shelters, bunkers and gun emplacements
Assembling floating or prefabricated bridges
Operating various light or heavy engineer vehicles
Placing and detonating explosives
Loading, unloading and moving supplies and equipment using planes, helicopters, trucks and amphibious vehicles
Operating or serving as a crewmember on a combat engineer vehicle, armored vehicle launch bridge or an armored combat earthmover
Preparing and installing firing systems for demolition and explosives
Locating mines by visual means or by using a mine detector

You meant 12B, right?

[sonicblu03]

It's now a 21...used to be 12 series. Enlisted MOS designators are now aligned with the Officer specialties. I'm old school so now I have them both memorized LOL

[snaggeltooth]

I know a few 34DDs and a 32C.

Used to be a 12B but now it's a 21B. The Army changes everything too dang much, even the mechanics were changed from a 63S to a 63B, Heavy to Light.

I do too, my wife would be a 34D. Gotta love those Momma Boobies.
