If you were drafted into the Chiefsplanet army...

[Rain Man]

I have a list of 177 careers in the U.S. army, taken from this site: http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jo...iation#results


You have now been drafted into the Chiefsplanet army. Report to this thread and I will randomly assign you a career.


As background, I have no idea how many people work in each of these careers, so I made a complete guess. For example, I know infantry is going to be the biggest, but I don't know how may people are dental specialists or radar repairers. So I guessed, making sure that no field is less than 0.1 percent. This may make the army band bigger than normal, but I'm not really worried about it.

So...ten-HUT, soldiers! Show up and get your duty rosters!

AH-64D Armament/Electrical/Avionic System Repairer

OVERVIEW

The AH-64D armament/electrical/avionic systems repairer is primarily responsible for the maintenance of AH-64D helicopters, twin-engine attack aircraft. With hundreds of Army missions depending on these helicopters, they must ensure that all of them are safe and ready to fly.

Much better MOS than a 13B(Cannon Crewmen). I don't think this MOS will spend as much time in the field. Plus there is a better chance for a career after the Chief's Army time is served. There isn't very much demand for a cannon cocker in the civilian world.
