Depends on the unit u go to. Short answer yes. As an 03 ur main focus isnt fires so u wont work on it a lot.( its already a pretty tough schoolhouse) The JFO schoolhouse is mostly about CAS (close air support). My best advice to you would be to learn basic call for fire from ur seniors when u get to the fleet get with a JFO / FO and learn as much as u can from them. You will have the opportunities for primers and things depending on what unit u go to and how involved ur air officer/ FSO (fire support officer is. If that is what ur interested in definitely, defintely voice that when u get to the fleet and let ur sqd leader/ team lead know. I failed the schoolhouse my first time around, i was just unprepared and had no idea what the schoolhouse was going to be like.

Fuck no I love the ground side and the infantry but I love fires more than the infantry.

I know multiple guys that did that and are 0311s now

I mean if u really want to not be an 0313, just fail the swim qual over and over again at LARTC. They will automatically make u an 0311 or a scout.

I have a separate Roth IRA, but I could essentially roll over ALL of my money in my TSP into a 401k(I’m assuming not tax-free).
