Thank you that was really descriptive. I will look into each MOS but this really helps

I know this thread is really old but I saw something on some pictures of recruits at the firing range with scopes and I didn't know if this was a mistake or did they stopped using iron sights?

Hey everyone, I'm talking to my recruiter Monday about the enlistment process. I'm 17 and a junior in high school and my mom is willing to let me enlist early, however I told my Uncle in the military...
