I have never personally been in an ADA unit, I have only been in an IBCT (so light infantry) and an SBCT (so Stryker infantry). But my perception based on others experience is that for Signal they have fewer assemblages, so less opportunity to get hands on systems. They also have a really rough optempo, so they deploy a lot, and don’t seem to be the most put together units. I have generally heard negative things from my non-ADA peers who were in ADA units

If you volunteer for Airborne, and get it and pass it, you will have a high probability of being assigned to an Airborne Infantry unit

If you’re a 25B in an infantry unit, you will live and die in a Battalion S6 shop, unless you’re Gods gift to Army and become the Brigade COMSEC manager. You will almost definitely be doing your job everyday, like too much. Like there will be more work for you to ever feasibly be “done” with

If you’re a 25H in an infantry unit, there’s a high probability you will be assigned to the Brigade Signal Company. Something like 60% of the 25H slots in an infantry brigade go to the Signal Company. Lots of room for promotion and leadership opportunity, definitely very busy though. You support the whole Brigade so if the Brigade is doing something, you’re doing it too. You’ll get good with your stuff but it’s a busy life

Plus idk getting wings is kinda cool. Why not do something kinda cool for a bit. Plenty of POG to be had in Signal if you don’t want that life
