I'm looking to go from supply to mortars. When my current contract is up. Am I able to transfer straight to 11C? Or do I need to go 11X? There's not a lot of information available on the process of MOST for infantry. Also what are some key points a recruiter won't mention about this mos??

I hope you are good at rucking heavy, they have the heaviest rucks in the Army. Also I’m not sure about the 11x thing but your retention NCO should be able to give you some answers. If you go through with this be ready to go back to basic training because most people that reclassified when I was going through started over at day 0 with us new guys. Good luck.

Daaaamnnn ok. Thank you for the advice! That's real helpful ngl. My ruck for supply is 180 pounds so it's not likely to be that bad

SPC Ellison,
I concur. When I used to stationed at Ft. Knox as an 11B, there were the weekly ruck marches. One ruck march I'll never forget was the 25 mile ruck march. Our entire company of 45 left out and only 10 made it back and I was one of those ten. And, most of those who couldn't finish were younger then Me. That was My first 25 miler, I was soar for three days as well. Also, switching from Navy to Army I had to go through a WTC course or a Warrior Transition Course in 2010 and had to start at day 0. But, I think the WTC ended in 2012.

I would suggest going as 11 bravo. I myself am 11 Charlie and I've been out for 12 years. the unbearable back pain that I suffer on a minute to minute basis is ridiculous. yes, be prepared to ruck the mother fucking shit out of your goddamn feet. If you are carrying a base plate and your rucksack be prepared for having it jammed into your back every time you take a step, if you've got tootsie rolls, (if you don't know what that is you'll surely know as soon as you start AIT ((because yes, you will have to start basic training all over again from Day zero in Fort Benning, Sand Hill, sitting at 30th AG until you're cycled into a platoon for 13 weeks and 6 days of mother fuck)) those bitches don't really weigh a lot except for if you get 81mm and have to carry 6 or 7... then that fucking sucks. If you get the cannon you have to strap that mother fucker across your shoulders on your ruck. You end up looking like Jesus Christ on the Cross running through the woods; swinging dick, trench foot, and wicked bad gas from the motherfucking powdered eggs. I highly advise you do not run in between two trees less than 4 feet fucking apart under any motherfucking circumstances... you will close line the mother fucking shit out of yourself, land on your motherfucking ass and become the butt of every motherfucking joke until motherfucking graduation day. I'm motherfucking speaking from personal experience my dumb Forrest gump retarded ass. Goddamn if its not bad enough to do that dumb shit once i did it motherfucking twice... On the same day.... Maybe 25-30 motherfucking minutes later because i didn't enjoy it enough the first motherfucking time. That being said I miss the goddamn infantry every mother fucking day of my mother fucking life and I would God damn do it again in a heartbeat without a second thought right now just because I did it once and earned my blue cord and I know I can do it again and I enjoyed every last minute of it through all the pain, the tears, the laughter and the motherfucking jokes. The brotherhood that I gained is irreplaceable and a lot of my brothers are now dead but the memories are well alive.

I am relentless, I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME! HOOAH!!!

That's the most infantry-esk comment I could imagine. Thank you for the insight! I'm transferring to a drill sergeant unit so I can become one. I'm hoping that'll help Me when I transition to infantry
