Do combat engineers ever really see combat?
I am still debating on an mos when I enlist, and I thought becoming a combat engineer would be interesting. The building things, explosions, and all that would be cool to do, but I still want to have the chance to really experience some combat. I know that some combat engineers get attached to infantry units, which would be the way to see that combat. What I am wondering is how could one be sure to get attached to an infantry unit, or at least see combat oversea's in some way? Thank you Marines for any advice that you can give.
