Probably number 1 on the most ignorant posts in this thread full of ignorant posts.
You CAN be forced crosstrained in the AF or you might not be able to ge out of a job if it is critically manned.
Wow you are talking to the wrong Soldiers and Marines then. Sure the living conditions may not be as good as the Chair Force but I love my job! I even like being out in the field for weeks on end! Sure the lack of showers and comfortable sleeping areas suck in the field but I signed up to be combat arms for a reason, its not supposed to be a cushion job. However if you enlist into a support MOS you will likely spend 85% of your time in garrison.
And it is very rare for the cooks and paper pushers to run combat missions in country. Sure they could get sent on convoy mission or guard duty but for foot patrols, recon, route clearance, direct action QRF, counter mobility, its done almoust entirely by combat arms that train EVERYDAY for that type of mission. You cant expect a 71L who has sat in an office everyday of his career to pick up a rifle, don an IBA and 50lb ruck and then conduct a foot patrol and knock down doors out of no where!
Counter intel
Infantry all the way. You like computers, guns and anything that moves? As an 0352 (Anti-Tank Guided Missileman) I shoot the Javelin and TOW missile systems, have an M4 with an ACOG for my standard issue rifle and am also a licensed Humvee (HMMMVW so I don't get flamed for real spelling) driver and will soon be certified on the new MRAPs.
In the USMC, the basic infantry jobs that you'll choose from will be Rifleman (0311), Machinegunner (0331), Moarterman (0341), Assaultman (0351) and Anti-Tank Guided Missileman (0352). After that, you can go to specialty MOSs like Recon, Scout Sniper, LAV Crewman, etc.
DO NOT go open contract!!! You are making a decision that you will have to live with for at least the next 4 years. Make it YOUR decision. Not your recruiters or the military's. Over the next period of your life, they will make enough decisions for you. Make sure this one is your own.
