Not sure about Grunt. He has to be INfantry, but how does he do the other two concurrently? I think 11B with SMall Arms Repairer seems more like his character.
Zap doesn't strike me as SF, but I think 18C is a great way to combine both Engineer with INfantry. Or a 19D Cavalry Scout.
Clutch? Can't decide.
Grand-Slam and Flash are tough.
For sure Grand Slam and Flash are tough calls, their "Electronics" specialties are hard to place, especially given that these are support positions.

). While that task, under that name, has been cancelled, I would assume there's still a similar task out there so it could still be applicable.
But that's all dependent on whether or not you want his primary responsibility to be as a combat engineer or as a heavy weapons operator.
Very interesting read and it does make sense in regards to Zap. I definitely place him as either a Combat Engineer or a SF Engineer first, with heavy weapons training as an additional skill identifier (especially since the US Army discontinued the 11H MOS).

Definitely and it has bothered me as well. 88M's mainly drive larger trucks and transport troops and materials around (from what I have read). Standard Infantry Platoons assign their own drivers within their own Platoon (meaning 11B's get assigned behind the wheel). I may make him as starting out his Army career as an 88M then when his service time is up he re-enlists as an 11B. Maybe his new Platoon Sergeant recognizes his driving skills (from his time racing and his former MOS as an 88M) and has him take the wheel of one of the Platoon's Humvee's. From there he goes on to take more advanced offensive and defensive driving classes (someone posted them a while back I believe). His filecard states he is Ranger-qualified but maybe he also gets assigned to the 75th Rangers as well (maybe goes from an 88M, then 11B, then RASP, then 75th, then Ranger School?).
