Infantryman (11X)

The infantry is the main land combat force and backbone of the Army. It's equally important in peacetime and in combat. The Infantryman's role is to be ready to defend our country in peacetime and to capture, destroy and repel enemy ground forces during combat.

Infantry is the starting point for many advanced schools such as: * Special Forces * Airborne School * Ranger School * Sniper School * Pathfinder School

TRAINING

Infantry enlistees attend Infantry OSUT (One Station Unit Training), which combines Army Basic Training and Infantry AIT (Advanced Individual Training), all in one 13-week course. The training takes place primarily in the field, with some classroom training. The reality is, though, that infantry training never really stops. Whether taking part in squad maneuvers, target practice or war games, Infantrymen are constantly working to keep their skills sharp and are in a constant state of preparedness.

During that training, Infantry enlistees are allowed to list their specific infantry job preferences, but ultimate assignments are determined by the needs of the Army. Upon graduation from OSUT, Infantry enlistees are assigned to one of the following Infantry specialties: * Infantryman (11B) * Indirect Fire Infantryman (11C)

if i pass all my waivers do you think i can join the infantry even though i had a history of asthma symptoms? but i havnt used an inhaler for like 3 years

@TheShellshock1992 To tell the truth I cannot answer your question. You have to ask the nearest recruiting station to talk to one of the recruiters. They're the people who can assist you with whatever question that you may have.

Is infantry 11x? because when i enlisted, i was told by my recruiter its 11B

[wearmystrong]

@E7uber9000 11x is an enlistment option MOS for an Infantry. After you graduated from One Station Unit Training (OSUT), you can either go for 11b or 11c, or whatever unit that you are assigned to that needs that particular MOS.

@TheShellshock1992 Look man if you havent been using an inhaler for 3years then you dont need to tell the army that have asthma

[SpyOpz94]

@CaliDCcFlIpZ Don't do it. The government doesn't care about its soldiers. They just war monger to put more money in their pockets. It's horrible and hard to believe but please do your research and google it.

@wearmystrong okay thanks for your help

[TheShellshock1992]

@wearmystrong i never had an asthma attack nothing too major like stop breathing and panic to get my inhaler nothing like that when i work out i have never used my inhaler maybe when the army hears people had asthma symptoms they probably think it was something severe like stop breathing he almost died if he didnt get his inhaler
