Here is part of a message we just got from HQ USAREC about 11X, combat arms, and Option 4/40 for FY 12:
All are doing a great job assisting the command in meeting the combat arms MOS precision requirements for FY12. We are rapidly meeting our 11X MOS precision requirements for FY12 and further 11x placement will become extremely limited. For those highly motivated candidates seeking a combat arms MOS there are other MOSs with either Option 4 or 40 available.
