Army Careers 12T - Technical Engineer

The Army builds and repairs many airstrips, docks, barracks, roads, bridges, and other projects each year and the Technical Engineer is essential to this process.

@Daynknight1001 All footage in this video is from AIT, not actual soldiers in the field.

So anyways... I swear I saw a full mag pouches on them. Is everyone in the Army expected to fight in combat at one time or another? Not that would be a turnoff or anything, it would be more like a turn on because I want the college credit but the combat would be a nice plus. I don't want to be a combat engineer because there's no real experience I would get for that. When would I ever be setting barbed wire as a (civilian) civil engineer?

I'm probably going to join the army as a Technical Engineer after I graduate with a degree in Electrical Engineering from my college.
