Hmm, I thought a couple years back they got rid of 11C,M,H, and B and just made it 11 series. I could be wrong. If thats still around I'm pretty you could request it. Dont quote me on it though.

Anyways, when I went in most guys were 11x. Those without airborne and/or RIP were randomly selected for C,M,H and B.

when I was in they made you take a eye hand coordination test and depending on your score it was then determined what you would be, I did well and they wanted to send me to training to be a 11H, TOW gunner. I raised heck and begged to stay a plain 11B automatic rifleman, I was platoon guidon bearer, the drill sergeants liked me, got lucky and got my wish, however in hindsight the first time I jumped with my unit put on my rucksack, carrying my M203 for a 14 click march and watched the TOW gunners driving by in their jeeps I have to admit that I thought hmmm..but being a rifleman is where its at, just my opinion.

ive always wanted to be a mortorman.. 2/3rd's of all casulities produced in WW2 were caused by indirect fire :twisted:. humping the baseplate doesnt sound too fun though. are there any 11c's lurking around here?
