I apologize if this question has been answered before (I did in fact search for it, however the only meaningful post I turned up was this one: "http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/71603.0.html" [Fighting Alongside Infantry] however due to some unforseen circumstances the question was not fully answered in that thread. I do have a related question which I would have posted there had the thread not been locked.
Anyhow, on to the question: several MOS's looked interesting to me (LCIS Tech, Med Tech, Sig Op, Intel Op, Imagery Tech, among others) but I'm mesmorized by the Infantry. I understand that I can do a 3-year <not sure of the word here> in Infantry, before switching to a different MOS; my question though is, if I'm employed as, say, an LCIS Tech, will I have opportunities to fight alongside Infantry units while on a tour? Would this be a rare thing, a common thing, or not allowed?
Again, if my question has been asked over, please feel free to chide me. It'll prepare me for when I enlist
