There's a few ol' commo men here. The bureacracy has changed and my alphabet soup has changed around (O5B, 31V, 18E) and gone away, so I can't speak to what specifically a 25 sumptin' is. But in general, the commo men are the ones who are holding it all together. You are the nerves of the Regiment, could be toting the radio for the platoon leader or be stashed in the box on the back of the souped up humv talking all the way around the world during some national level op. You need to think in several dimensions at once and keep sharp situational awareness about the big picture. The traffic flows through you - actions have been won because radio operators just took over because they knew the picture & the commander's intent when the commander got dropped.
Commo guys can be right where the action is or be stuck in the commo hooch somewhere, all depends on assignment and opportunity. Look up that MOS on goarmy.com or try the signal school website (whatever that is, I ain't looking for it 'cause I got mine
) If this looks good, go for it but whatever shape you think you're in, get a lot better and keep improving on your own, because signal corps basic & AIT is not going to get you there.
Lots of good advice on these pages, the rest is up to you and you alone. You'll hear from me no more.
