Hello, I'm a 68W reclass attempting to go active duty. What are the top 3 best infantry units to go to and what base are they stationed? Just looking for opinions.

Being at 10th Mountain currently at Fort Drum I can say it's an amazing place to be. The biggest complaint anyone ever has here is that it gets really cold in the winter.

All units under 10th Mountain are pretty similar so if you come here expect to PT, A LOT. Like many other units we have a time 12 mile ruck standard however it is every quarter and have to get it under 3 hours. We also have a 4 mile, 32 min standard that has to be upkept as well. If you want to go to Air Assault while you're here it's insanely easy, we have our own Resident course here at the Lightfighter School. Also like many other units claim to be... 10th Mountain is the most deployed unit in the U.S. Army. "Since 2001, the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) has been the most deployed unit in the US military.[4] Its combat brigades have seen over 20 deployments, to both Iraq and Afghanistan, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.".

Also as for the Winters, the beautiful Summers make up for it!

If you're reclassing you're not going to get a choice where you can go.

What you can volunteer for is 75th Ranger Regiment. There's no better unit for a 68W to be stationed in
