Not yours! Well yes, I guess that was your service branch, but not "your" service.

If you miss it so much, why not become a merc... I hear Haliburton is hiring.... maybe even Ross Perot still has a private army.

You have missed a connection between pin J3 and plug H8R.
Recall Rumpsfeld and his insensible BRAC of 2005? Well the Armor School left Ft. Knox and went to Ft. Benning where they had 0 (zero) tank ranges, zero tracked vehicle maneuver areas, and everything was within double time distance of 30 minutes or less. So, we downsized the Armor School from 2006 - 2011, while they could build/ramp up the maneuver center of excellence, while we retooled and ramped up The Army's Human Resources Center of Excellence from all over the US. AND the Mid-West Reserve Center of Excellence, moving the Reserve HQ out of Ft. McCoy WI, the 95th IDK from where, and the 70th out of Arkansas, and collocating them here. AND, here's 8 million more, renovate Custer Street and build the NEW HQ for the Cadet Command.
Now we train hundreds of Reservist' to deploy from our Power Projection Platform and still support the 101st and 5th group out of Ft Campbell. As well as some 'folks' from a special place around Crane, IN.-> All the while taking care of 'all' Soldier's HR functions worldwide, and lastly, don't forget, we still house the US Army Recruiting Command.
The only thing I'm missing is the way traffic 'used to be'. Take out 4,500 permanent party, and 5,000 annually TDY for school Soldiers and replace them with 5,500 civilians of which 4,500 work at one building, and 3500 light fighters with inadequate housing, and BAM!
With that, I'll be triple dipping in a few years.

Three of the four services have straight forward ranks, except the Navy, they 'need' to have titles? What is that; Automatic Transmission? Autonomous Tracking? Avionics Tech? Aerial Topography?
