what is the potential post-discharge career for an 11B, assuming they don't go to college, because I go to basic in about nine hours and I figure I ought to know now. I was also a quarterback on my highschool's football team

pic mostly unrelated

Nothing. You will have literally no skills anyone wants, and I'm not just being an asshole. Being good at shooting people, walking and raking leaves will leave you with the ability to work in landscaping or fast food.
Try to get on a deployment so you can jump on Post 9/11 and go to school when you get out or you're fucked m8.

I don't know how to do that, my recruiter said he would handle all of that stuff as long as I went infantry.

GI bill will be on your contract regardless, but it's shit unless you deploy.
Go on a deployment, and when your contract ends, talk with an NCO you trust who has used GI bill before and get him to help you set everything up to help you get as much as possible out of school and the bill.

Basically extraction and transport of bulk raw materials.

There's a lot of low skill jobs that pay a lot if you're not easily shaken or fatigued. You can go to a trade school for a job in an extraction industry that requires trained skill and make absurd bank. Unskilled work already makes disgusting money with a trade school you can hit six figures easy.
You just have to be willing to travel and sometimes live in bad conditions and just generally not be a pussy. You'll probably die of cancer eventually especially if you work in oil and gas but they pay the best.

>oil and gas

this. energy companies cream their pants for vets, and if you're not opposed to long hours, you can make 6 figures a year no problem

Not much. Law enforcement won't care much that you were infantry. They will like that you were military. PMC's tend to hire veterans who have combat experience rather than just any random grunt. That is for ones that your training is related to at least. Other careers are any career a person can get without a degree. Like working in a factory.

wut? Unless they changed shit you still get the post 9/11 without restrictions (like going on a deployment).

Also a friendly reminder, there are more kinds of deployments than just combat deployments. Yes, as far as the bean counters are concerned, non-combat deployments are still deployments.

You should be able to save up over 4 years of making 17k to go to college on your own dime. Let alone we bring in veterans benefits. As long as you don't do the 11b lease a mustang, marry a hooker, and drink away the rest school of financial management, you could sock 5-7k a year easy as fuck

Uh...I think you quoted the wrong person anon.

more like piggybacking, working within the assumption they fuck OP out of muhbenefits due to an unpopular peacetime military.

speaking of which, if you could reliably already get into the welding/boilermaking/pipefitting/timber/oil derrick working/underwater diving careers is there any reason to sign away 4 years of your life to the military as a non specialist?

I'm this guy >>28270793, >>28270931
Far as I'm concerned, only the money. I joined because Iraq and Afghanistan were still going and I needed cash for college (or other higher learning).
