It's a cool job as you get to use a lot of heavy weaponry as described by the other members here. How often do you get to shoot rockets with other platoons? You better be in shape because you will be carrying this stuff around. Sure, it's fun to fire it, but you have to hump it there to shoot it and bring it back. Motor T is a great job as you get to drive the HUMVEE and other heavy equipment. It's better than walking and everyone appreciates a ride. Intel is fun as well, but you need the ASVAB scores for it. How often can you get your hands on the most sophisticated equipment? Semper Fi You will be in either a Weapons platoon or a Rifle Platoon.
