I am going to Fort Jackson for my next duty station as an infantryman. I was wondering if anyone had been those shoes and if so, what was their day-to-day job like? NOT GOING AS A DS.

"I'm going to Fort Jackson - what will I be doing?" is impossible to answer without additional detail.
If you have the UIC of where you're being assigned, you can perform a lookup in FMSWeb* and then research the unit as they should be listed as a tenant of Fort Jackson*
However, it's a good bet to say that you likely won't be assigned to a field unit, and if not going as a DS, then you'll likely be doing some type of training support assignment.

To tag on to what you have said, I was assigned to Ft Gordon in the late 80's for about 2 1/2 years. The first six months I was assigned special duty at the Ft Gordon Recreation Center on Clark's Hill Lake. For the remainder of my time I was assigned as a field evaluator for the radio side of MSE. As you said, he won't know until he gets there.

Lotsa Infantry there, what I do not see is the Infantry Brigade that supports the post. Says the 193rd is there, but it is now a BCT Bde. Nor sure where the 197th and 198th are now. 199th is at Fort Benning being Training BDE. So I do not know what a 11x would be, perhaps an ash and trash, MOS immaterial job.

11X is a Non MOS Qualified Infantryman. Basically, once they're done with OSUT, they'll be assigned either 11B or 11C upon completion
