Army Scout - 19D - Cavalry Scout 

I ship out February 14th 2023 for basic and I am honored to have picked 19D. Can’t wait to make all the cavalry scouts before me and present proud!

I’m a 92 G and cavalry scout actually looks like the ultimate MOS in my opinion. I might transfer.

Just enlisted at a 19D yesterday. I ship out April 19th 2023

I'm a prior enlisted Marine about to do an Inter-Service transfer, and I'm thinking I'll do this.

Scouts lead the way! Hoo AH!

#Aren't they phasing out 19Deltas to fill in Infantry Ranks?!?!? Please do not remove Cavalry Scouts from the Tool Chest! 😳 They are absolutely vital to the Armored Mission. They are the eyesand ears of our Mobile Forces. DON'T TOUCH OUR SCOUTS! 😖

"Late at night, while you're sleeping, CAV Scouts come a creeping...all around" ALLONS!

As former 13A, lemme tell you, 19D is awesome MOS, amazing job. I was FiST and fires support planning, and later battlespace asset deconfliction. Many ,but not all, Cav Scouts enlisted do end up getting abn and air assault badges. Maybe 10% of E-6 and higher NCO in mech Cav Scout troops and squadrons also have RANGER tab and Pathfinder torch wing. One area that ever Cav Scout and my former MOS (Field Artillery FiST) have to be just the best is land nav. Land nav the old school way. Lensatic compass, protractor, paper acetate map. From PFC to Colonel. Knowing where you are, down to 100 meters or less in seconds, at any time, any place, any weather, is Cav Scout's burden. Must know it, and must be able to determine it within 10 seconds or less. Of course, EPRS, and GPS navaid, make job easier. When those systems are up. A Cav Scout detailed to light infantry, has to be able to hump his 75lb ruck , weapon, and gear at same rate and distance as 11B infantrymen. Cav Scouts have the thickest skins in Army. Fowl and lewd language abounds, mixed gender formation or not.

Glad an experienced E-2 can tell me what it takes to be a Scout...

14 years ago i was the first man in my family since my great, great grandfather Eustes fought alongside Custer at little big horn to join the cav! 19D all the way!

"Why I wanted to be a CAV scout, is cause America has cav scouts, and America is a nation, and within the nation of America, there is history and history tells us that there were cav scouts in America. That is why I am an infantryman 🇺🇸"

being a scout was the best decision i made in my life , im very proud , to have been cav 1993-2018 ret i was ft knox armor school b4 ft benning

Just enlisted as a 19D yesterday. Shipping out September 9.

On next week’s episode of “military jobs that will NEVER carry over into a civilian career”: MOS 19D, Calvary Scout

My Infantry colleagues love to crap on these dudes and I don’t know why there great at what they do

When I think of cavalry. I think of soldiers on top of horses.

I loved my job as a scout and do not regret 1 second of it.

It’s nice to see they took out the dune buggies and dirt bikes out of the mos video. That’s how they tricked me into being a scout lol

I was a scout, formally known as 11D, back in the day, also 11B, 11H, and 11C. I held those MOS's in CSC 2/7 CAV, and A Co 1/12 CAV, 1st CAV Div from 1973-1982, Ft. Hood, TX.

Met a lot of good guys when I was serving as a Scout! Traveled to Louisiana, Kentucky, Egypt, Israel and stationed in Alaska. 1996-2000 🇺🇸

Ship out as a 19D in september .... Wish me luck

As a old head scout myself, that spur flex was unnecessary lol 😂

As an old school, Knox trained scout, I wouldn't trade my time in for anything!

I ship out June 21 for this MOS! Can’t wait!

Everything in this video is true. And I have a bridge for sale.

Did they make y’all get in full NBC gear with all sinks and showers pushing hot water out. It made the walls sweat but this was at Ft Knox. I’m old school Cavalry Scout. I followed the same path my Great Great Grandfather did during the Civil War. He was a Cavalry Scout. Sadly I was severally injured and I got out. Then the Veterans Administration medically retired me.

As a former Holy Crusade veteran, this makes me realize just how far as a species we have come

I was a tank mechanic but as a hillbilly from Northeast Tennessee. I couldn't have been a scout. I'd revert back to old habits and start deer hunting.

Had over 40+ options to choose from and I chose 19D. I ship out January.

Aiming at meeting thee requirments and exceling at Sniper School once im reconized as a full D19 Cavary Scout then apply to Sniper School God willling i pass with extremely High Scores i plan on being like Carlos Hathcock the White Feather Except i will be known as the Silver Fox Ill even carry a Silver Fox Tail on myself to prove a point because like the Fox i am excellent at outwitting smarting. Being cunning resourcful i will always have sound Aces up my sleeve again im razor smart as my name dipicts me and i will live up to being the SILVER FOX that will never be outsmarted captured and if my foes do surround me remember i have many Aces up my sleeve yours truly Chris Riley THE SILVER FOX

If u ain't cav.....

1968 when Ft. Knox was the Armour school. We had M113A1s and Jeeps. No Humvees or body armor. Steel pots and the M60 Main Battle Tank. Always be yourself, unless you can be Cavalry Then be Cavalry.

So basically they’re ninjas

Ah.. good ol fort benning. 11B all the way!

Current Cav Scout, been in since Jan 2019. If you’re looking to deploy, don’t pick this MOS. You will be assigned to a “mechanized” unit where you will be working on a Bradley or Stryker. Light Scouts will be a thing of the past. Go Airborne, only light units deploy right now. Getting out soon, spent 6 rough years working on a Bradley and only went on a rotation to Europe. The only good thing out of my service was the friends and memories.

Really not difficult just get fit and you won’t have an issue. Did it for 6 years. Has it’s ups and downs like anything else but you get to play with some cool toys. Listen to the guys who have been there before.

When i was in i was a scout and it was closed off to female soldiers. I wonder how the soldiers today feel about it.

I ship off as 19D in a week!

im currently trying to go from IST, to go from Navy to Army and go 19D. wish me luck yall hopefully my command doesnt drop kick me xD

Such a cool job, God bless you all, try reading the Bible and praying, Jesus loves you

Forgot the hours of detail in motor pool.

Thompson Sarah Moore Larry Harris Christopher

Best choice I ever made. Scouts out!

All I got to say is, If you ain't Cav! You ain't 💩

Schimmel Expressway

If you ain Cav??????

Can Cav scouts go to sniper school?

I wanna do this so bad

This sounds like a safe option

It's a shame they nixxed this MOS, all the scouts I served with have been forced to reclass

Lol, video editor is a former 11B that changed MOS.

Uhhh what about Ft Knox? Benning isn't the only 19D training facility

7559 Bailey Valleys

Complete BS, in fact now they are dumping the MOS

Just remember dont run to Noth Korea ? Great at land nav :)

Cora Crossroad

Oswald Walks

Recruiter sent this as an option and boy has it caught my attention

then theres me, a 25U, "hold on while i go through about 15 hand mics, three radios, and two oe254s getting comms up and running" lmao

71126 Javonte Rue

just remember combat arms its fun until you get your first mech infantry unit

Who else came here to see if they still had the dune buggies with beltfeds from the MEPS MOS video. See you at Fiddlers Green

red and white fit to fight !!!

My dad was a cavalry scout and he was trained at Fort Knox

I wanna do this I have a neck tattoo 1 Inch in diameter you think I’ll be good ?

Build technology weapons now

Multi-wheeled vehicle?

My recruiter was a Cav Scout. His first name was my last name.

"Here boots, tell us all about your ship date or your fucking 1 year in"

I couldn’t go back infantry because hearing waiver so I just signed a cav scout contract yesterday and ship in 10 days

Aren’t they just infantryladies without a blue cord?

Recon hooah!! better git sooome!

97523 confirm

I just want the hat

I SHIP OUT ON THE 26

Where could you get stationed?

How about that guy low crawling and stuff think at around 45 seconds or something

Will the Cavalry switch over to the M10 vs the M1 the M1 is huge for Cav operations the M10 have a smaller footprint yet still lethal

Had More Fun as an 11D 10 Scout crew member being an M60 Gunner on a Jeep....ended up a 19 D 20 which was a lot more work and a lot less fun.....

Sgt wick a goat

Shinzou wo sasageyo ✊️

I ship in 7 days 19D I am happy with my choice

I ship out on August 8th! I am going be “basically infantry”

Sept 11th anyone? BCT 👌🏼

I was one. Dont.

Fun job

I know that SSG

Hi there does anyone know a non-citizenship can choose this MOS?

Couldn't a drone do all this stuff?

THEIR PRETTY MUCH INFANTRY

No females!!!!!

DON'T PICK THIS BULLSHIT

It’s crazy cause half these dudes I went to basic with all got chaptered 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don’t they wear camouflage American flag patch?

As a 19D trained at Fort Knox I must say that land navigation is the most powerful skill youre going to need right next to communication. Yes youre going to learn to use most weapon systems,etc, but without proper skills using a map and a radio, As a scout youre useless.

Wannabe grunts 😂

Yall mean 19detail

You ever have a 54 year old jumpmaster? I'm at peak civilian but I have skydived with Marines. Any takers?

Duh VA please don't forget no one insult her cav scout kids bad day pissed daddy discipline fit DER
