I'm currently starting my grind towards rifleman and was also interested in pursing the FS grind ...would anyone recomend a specific profession over another when considering the FS path? (Currently im a master bounty hunter and master medic). Please provide feedback on why you would choose one profession over another. Thanks in adanvce for the input

Most people are going to reply that you should get commando 4000 for the thermal detonators, I personally play TKM because I enjoy it so it makes the grind less tedious. It is just a matter of opinion however, and how fast you want to reach your goal.

It really is a case of what you enjoy and at what stage in the FS grind you are. Given you havent started, i'd go with Rifleman, you can fill a tree every 3 weeks easy with that running quenkers or whatever from dant. I picked up 4xxx commando just cause i had 6 unlocks and had only managed 3xx3 1100 because im lazy

i tried it with grenades, it bugged me to death. I hated the grind with nades, i think it was just slow, clumsy and very boring.

Command 4000.
Thermals.
I did my first 4 lines with rifles and/or C12sand it was so tedious and slow it took me weeks of grinding. I switched template and just did a whole line in 3 days.
Commando 4000.
Thermals.
Then spend the rest of the phase shift waitingactually enjoying yourself.

I was thinking of going commando (haha.... sorry couldn't resist), and I thought that I could do my grind, then enjoy myself afterwards, but then something occured to me.... How can I enjoy myself to a full extent with a template that has been ruined because of surrendering skills for Commando 4-0-0-0.
Question to any grenadiers: do you still enjoy playing (i.e. PvP, hunting NS etc) even though you cannot keep your desired professions?

Cap with rifleman in about 45min with pets tanking. Hardly ever get touched and never buff either (personal choice)....just need some Stim Bs, ahrisa and brandy.....and of course, a nice dmg sliced T21 to grind with.

You can grind all the 6 branches in a week if you do it really fast. If you do it slow, like 5 buffs a week you'll still get it within a month. With grenades that is obviously.
It's not that hard to live without master rifleman for a month is it?
Just drop commando as soon as you're done and get your old template back.

You hit the perfect combo. TKM / Commando 4000

I could do it in a few buff sessions with Rifles and Fencer. There's no need to change templates. It's just a matter of where to go to get the good xp..

The idea is to do it how you prefer to do it. I'm sure alot of people here will say go the commando route and throw gernades until you puke and then throw them some more so a branch can be done in a day. The Village shifts phases every 3 weeks, and I have personally found no issue with completing a branch just as or just after the village shifts. I'm still on-track after taking a 2 week honeymoon. In fact I'm ahead of the village as far as getting the experience goes.
The popular opinion is 'Faster is Better' therefore grenades are faster so they are better. I personally dont agree with this statement and haven't tossed a single grenade. But this is just my opinion 
It's all you dude/dudette.
Do what you wanna do to have fun.
