I'm and active duty Marine so I am no stranger to the lifestyle but which combat arms MOS in the Army enjoys life the most? Asking about 11x,12b,13f, and 19d specifically. I know "the suck" is present in all of these and I joined to live the suck but which of these is a "Good outweighs the bad" kinda job?

I'm partial to the Infantry and I would say that Rangers have the most job satisfaction of all, while the scouts I've worked with seemed to hate their life. Not all scouts, but overall the ones I've worked with have always had a very low retention rate.

How are your knees and back? I respect the hell out of our trigger pullers but feel so bad for so many of them living in pain in their 40s.

I'm pretty partial to Combat Engineers - technically Combat Support, but we get to blow stuff up.

And the Sapper Course is one of the best schools in the Army.

It is the only branch with a stated secondary mission. That is to drop back on orders reorganize as an infantry unit and engage the enemy. True every soldier is supposed to be a trained infantry man but Combat Engineers have annual training requirements for infantry training. And when I was in Officers basic course we had 10 days of infantry training with infantry Officers. Sort
of an mini infantry basic course.

What you probably need to be asking is which is the best of these and how to still have a functioning back and knees in your 40s. Being able to say you were combat arms is pretty damn respectable but being in your 40s and walking without pain is pretty damn nice as well.
