Thanks for the feedback guys
Yeah John, planning on doing more (or all) of them.
I've been working on Short Fuze and Flash the last few days. The OG13 are tough because in almost every case they have 3 MOS's. Whilst it's not that unusual, most guys who have 3 MOS's either have been in a long time or are guys who can't find a place to fit.
Also moving or re-classing from one MOS to another isn't that easy. From my understanding there are only a few ways;
1) Upon re-enlistment. The closer one gets to re-upping, the retention NCO's will come around and that's when you can ask to go to another job. Even then it's not a guarantee as usually the military will want you to go from an overstrength MOS to an under-strength MOS. Also depending on the initial enlistment contract, I think you have to be in your MOS at least 2-3 years before even considering re-classing.
2) There are some MOS's you can shift to at any time if you can pass the Aptitude and Physical requirements, like Special Forces, PSYOP, Civil Affairs etc.
3) There are periods where the Military lets people move from an overstrength MOS to an under strength MOS. Those MOS's shift all the time. (In / Out Call)
4) What they call the BEAR program where not only can you shift MOS with no penalty but there's usually a cash incentive and an academic one, where the MOS you go to counts for college credits. The 12P Prime Power is one. You get $4000 cash bonus, 16 college credits and after you qualify for your ASI (Electrical / Mechanical or Instrument) you get 6 hours to count towards your college degree.
Also with the US Military in drawdown it's become harder to go Active Duty from the NG or Reserve and even harder for prior service.
So because of the above factors, it's been hell trying to figure out how to 'fit' all the training and MOS's listed into my concept of the Joes and keeping them young-ish if you add in time spent in college. The later year characters will be a lot easier because mostly the MOS's don't exist or they've been confused with additional duties (all the Instructor MOS's).
The Joes who move from Combat Support / Service Support to Combat Arms have been easier but I've found Short Fuze to be the hardest, he's got 3 MOS's which are all Combat Arms; Infantry, Artillery and Engineer.
