Ok, long story short. Im 18 and recently enlisted as infantry. Come to find out my GF is prego and she insisted i change jobs, I didnt mind and contacted my recruiter and he was ok with it.( I was kinda happy to change as I got 14S on my career sheet and was my second choice). Anyway, so now I go wednesday to do all the paperwork and hope 14S is on my career sheet still. Questions:

How is 14S? Iraq nor iran has many planes so what do you do?

Do you enjoy it? I read alot and did alot of research and some say they did and some say it was pointless.

Any light you can shed fill free.

Think you again for your time. HOOOOAH

also for anyone who dosent know 14S is avenger crew memeber.

I believe most people in this section of the forum will tell you that you can't go wrong with ADA. I just wish I could say you would be going to Ft. Bliss.

Thats good, ive done alot and research and ADA seems pretty awesome, but what you mean is Fort bliss gone or somethin?

I'm not as up to speed on it as some of the others like ihawker, but I believe they are in the process of somewhat combining Field Arillery and ADA. They recently moved the Air Defense headquarters from Ft. Bliss to Ft. Sill Oklahoma. Ft. Bliss is still there, it just isn't the home of Air Defense Artillery anymore.

That is correct.
When all this moving is completed only the 11th BG will be at Bliss, and I not sure if even that is true.

That is correct.
To best of my knowledge, only the 11th ADA BG will remain at Bliss, but I'm not even sure about that over the long haul.

O thats cool i like oklahoma anyway :P

14S; Avenger Crewmember.

There are Avenger units at FT. Bliss, FT. Lewis, FT. Hood, FT. Bragg, FT. Campbell, and in Korea.

In addition to Avenger operations, the 14S soldiers are heavily involved in the rapidly evolving Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) system. C-RAM elements are currently deployed in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Also, in the next few years some Avenger units will start to transition to the new SLAMRAAM weapons system.

Maybe I should have clarified, I was speaking about training purposes.

You are correct. AIT for 14S is in the process of moving to FT. Sill.

Yep thats what I thought
