It's all good. Drink the koolaid and join the club......any club will do. No matter what you do, or where you do it, you are a 1%er.

That being said, the CAV has big hats, sabers, big egos, and spurs that jingle jangle jingle. We don't discriminate either. We love all branches of the service, all military jobs, and all ranks. But nothing good comes easy, or cheap, and your gold spurs are only earned through combat. Larger than life handlebar mustaches authorized on a case by case basis.....as long as only CAV folks are in the AOR. Air Cav! Out Front!.

The CAV gets all dressed up but only exists to support the Infantry! Thank you, Ladies!

If you’re not Infantry, you’re support.

I originally wanted to go active component and infantry. The needs of the Army put me in the Reserves as an Engineer. I love it! I can drive to the location instead of hump it over and we blow hole through wall instead of kick down doors. Or we can do other Engineering operations besides the "sexy" route clearance missions and do construction like I am doing now. This can help Soldiers translate their MOS into a civilian career that is good paying when they get out.

Sir, I agree! I feel like this is maybe one of the few MOS's that will translate in the civilian world (correct me if I'm wrong). I needed another skill for a backup career just incase Law Enforcement doesn't work out! Besides, who doesn't like blowing stuff up?

Thank you Sir. I personally think that a Special Forces Alpha team is something I myself would have enjoyed being in in my younger days. I came close 1 time, with the 12th, but life altered my situation and I was never able to even start. It was A co, 1st BN 12 SFG in Utah, when they were active NG.
