So I'm still revising my list of Joes and what vehicles/stations they would occupy in an all out war, but I got to thinking about the military specialties on the file cards and tried to find a list of things that military personnel could specialize in. But I discovered that a lot of the Joe specialties don't exist anymore or may never have existed, at least in name/title as seen on the file cards. So am I correct in assuming that the primary and secondary specialities are the equivalent of MOS in the real military. Or are they the equivalent of ASI and SQI. Just for comparision I've attached some of the common specialities that the Joes have listed on file cards and beneath those are exampls of MOS, ASI and SQI. I guess my question is, what would a modern, realistic file card look like? Would Roadblock's speciality say Infantry Heavy Weapons or would it just say Infantry? Would it also say that he is a cook? Is there an actual Arctic Ski Patrol speciality like the one on Snow Job's card or would this now fall under a new title or could a person actually specialize in this in today's military?
