  • @SWGxCentral I was told by my recruiters that Combat Engineer was under CF

  • @jwlaureano I see. I'm currently a Poolee waiting to ship in 5 months. I was assigned CF ordinance technician and metal works. I saw that Combat Engineer was under that field. Do you get to choose a specific MOS from that field or do you just get what the Corps needs?

  • @SWGxCentral No, you don’t unfortunately. You do however get a request sheet at engineer school. I would suggest putting whatever everyone else doesn’t. If they all pick Camp Pendleton pick Camp Lejeune and vice versa. That’s your best bet to try and be division if that’s what you are going for.

  • @jwlaureano You don't get to choose whether you are a Wing Engineer, ESB, or attached to an grunt platoon do you?

  • @pegasus619Q Engineers have three different jobs. Wing engineers work most on runway repair, ESB which is construction and hesco, and this video division engineers. Division is attached to infantry battalions and will be embedded in twos to a grunt platoon. That is the closest to EOD you will handle and emplace explosives. Not ususally foreign though you will learn a lot about it. Also you will sweep for IEDs just not diffuse them. Biggest difference is EOD diffuses IEDs engineers don’t.

  • @jwlaureano thanks for the response. so then, what are the different employments of either? I've not done much research, but it seems that they (can) do similar jobs (minus construction).

  • @pegasus619Q They are too separate MOS’s. They do not typically work together even though I was involved in a few missions with EOD. You also can not enlist as EOD, you have to re-enlist and be at least and e-4 (if memory serves correct.) Undoubtedly being an engineer is the best MOS to choose if you plan on going EOD. 1371 is the only MOS you will be trained with all explosives (aside from EOD and assualt man only have some) Just make sure you get Division 2nd CEB all the way!

  • is EOD incorporated into combat engineer teams? or the other way around? or are they separate all together?

  • I am a combat engineer, I have been one for 3 years now. I can honestly say that its the funnest job that I could have chosen, from the people you meet to the explosives you handle. Semper Fi.

  • OORAHH!!! love this video and love the song
