What the hell, sign me up.

I initially considered applying for an educational deferment, however, it was time to fulfill my duty to this community.

In!

Why would infantry be the biggest pool of soldiers? As a blue cord honoree I kinda take offense to that. Those in a support MOS make up about 75-80% of military personel. The biggest #'s should be cooks and mechanics.

why would you take offense to that?
cp (rain man) values the infantry (as well as concrete and asphalt...?), how is that offensive?

and how many cooks do you know lol
you think there are more cooks than 11b?

support MOSs may make up the majority of the army, but that includes hundreds of MOSs; combat arms, however, is broken down into only a handful of MOSs.

sign me up

Wasn't this done a few years back?

Maybe that was a Herm Edwards thing.....

M1 Armor Crewman

(Description on Post 2. I call shotgun.)

Now that I think about it, do you call shotgun on a tank? Or do you call howitzer?

As I mentioned in the opening post, I didn't know how many are in each career and was too lazy to do the research. I know that in WWII the Service Forces were roughly the same size as the Ground Forces, so in this exercise I put 50% of the people into the combat careers (27% infantry and 23% other) and 50% of the people into all of the other careers, which include administration, mechanics, construction, combat support, intelligence, medical, and all of the others. I have an inkling that the Services Forces (or whatever they're called today) may be a bigger proportion, but wasn't sure. So you think they're 75-80%?

You are the point of the spear, for you are an ....
