Combat Engineers?

Question

Is this a fun mos or not?Does it help you in the civilian world?

Answer 1

It sounds like a lot of hard work in a dangerous enviornment, but if thats what your into go for it

The Combat Engineers are highly versatile and skilled professionals capable of employing state-of-the-art machinery to deliver responsive engineer support to the Army. The Combat Engineers is an indispensable force in the battlefield because we provide our Army with Mobility, Counter-Mobility and Survivability advantage to overcome the enemy.

Where the Army needs to go, the Combat Engineers are there first paving the way for the rest of the Army. We convert the "No Go" terrain to "Go" terrain (Mobility) by bridging gaps and clearing minefields to facilitate speedy advance of our forces into the enemy's depth to secure a swift and decisive victory.

We are also highly capable of converting the "Go" terrain to "No Go" terrain (Counter Mobility) by constructing obstacles such as anti-tank ditches to impede the enemy's movement. With our earth moving capabilities, we construct trenches, drainage systems and other related infrastructure to enhance the survivability of our troops during operations. Our motto "Advance & Overcome" reflects our mission to provide Mobility, Counter-Mobility and Survivability support for the Army which is crucial and cannot be over emphasised.

Answer 2

It depends what you consider fun. As a combat engineer, you get to dig holes & blow things up, and do a lot of hard work helping build temporary or permanent bridges and structures. It's a lot of heavy lifting.

But...

You can also get training in heavy equipment operation & road construction, and perhaps some building construction. So it does transfer into civilian life. As you get up in rank, and start learning the more technical things, it gets more transferrable. The army does tend to have a 'cookbook' for everything, so when you get into civilian life, you may find that you're going in at an entry level project manager position, so it's transferrable. Not one-to-one, but it's certianly more transferrable than, say, anti-tank or artillery.

Answer 3

Hey, if you don't mind defusing bombs and building things under fire, go for it.
