Even the people who are supposed to know are giving conflicting answers which is annoying. However I was also told I have a timed walk I do for 2 miles, and I was also told I have a timed 2.5 mile walk, and I was also told there was some silly exercise bike thing to do instead of the run. you are also counted as having a 70+ in 2M.R. I was told by one person that they take the average of your other two scores to get it. I undertand these folks go hump a lot with the infantry and is supposed to be a somewhat high-speed unit, but I don't know enough yet to confirm it yet.Īlphajaguars, I am not sure how they work it since I had not had to take a PT test with the profile yet. I don't want to just be a training aid and not train. Other than the higher likelyhood to be shot or shot at, I have not had a problem with it.
RTO has not been a problem with me in the past. Also the unit IS a field arty unit with mostly howitzers I believe, and their 13F DO hump with an infantry unit and call the fire for those guns. Right now I am a spec/E4 waiting to be promoted to Sgt. (I guess, the Army says so anyway) Anything more strenuous than a good long ruck march though and I might not be in so good a shape for a short period of time. Rucking, even with the weight on my back is a lot smoother and more controlled than trying to run for long periods on hard pavement. Running is just considered a high back-impact exercise and for long term purposes they don't want it taking the pounding then me being screwed up for life. I am allowed and not hurt by rucking, walking, humping or plain hiking, and there is nothing in my profile that says that, so I should be ok in that respect. At the higher levels it all becomes about training your subordinated in the previous skills and assisting either the Company/Troop or Battalion/Squadron FSO fire plan and do bottom up refinements to top down fire plans.
#13f mos how to
The job itself at the junior levels is all about calling for fire from either arty or mortars, you will need to be trained in your unit on how to do in extremis CAS and naval gunfire. If you end up in a FSE, you might end up with a humvee, so less humping/rucking would be involved. The FIST chief would be expected to be in pretty good shape, because you will be humping with an infantry company. If you are a SSg (and in many cases a Sgt) or higher than you would either be a FIST chief or a FSE NCO/chief. If you are going to work in a light/AASLT unit, the chances are if you cannot hump with a pack, at most levels this includes acting as a RTO, you shouldn't be allowed into that billet. Please enlighten this young impressionable troop.Īlthough I am not in the Army I have been an Arty LNO (same thing as a Battalion FSO) in the Marine Corps before and have sat through the 13F course at Fort Sill for a Marine Corps POI review for our 0861 MASOC (course). So anyone who is/was a 13F or Air Assault I'd please ask for some insight on your experiences and what you think about all the above. Anyone ever done or know if I could get a medical waiver to attend AA school? Could I as a simple E4P do it, or would I have to have an O6 pull some strings to get it done, or are my hopes in vain? Man, that sucks goat ****, I've always wanted to do that too. They also said they could send me to Air Assault school real easily, which I have always wanted to do, but then they changed it to "no" when I said I couldn't APFT run. What do ya'll do that is back-intensive? Should I go for it or is there a more than small chance I could be re-injured. Just want to find out any opinions on that issue. Everything else (hump, shoot, crawl, etc) I am cleared to do. For the profile I am simply not supposed to do the APFT run. This was told to me by an E6 in that unit, but I have not seen anything in writing yet. I was told that it will not affect my being able to become a 13F, go to the school, or work in the field. A Mae West PLF last year gave me a no running permanent profile. My main concern I have is a back injury I had last year. So what was it like, experiences, regrets, good times, bad times, what? I am at that point where I am ready for a new MOS and want to do something that is high-speed, fun, rewarding, outdoors, and where I get to blow up sh!t, or at least cause other people to blow up sh!t. There is a unit near here that will take me and I can get bumped up an E grade too.
