#2 The 1986 standard for staff and support troops in the 10th (Light) Mountain Division was 12 miles in 4 hours humping a load of over 130 lbs. The line troops had to do it in 3 hours. 'Light' meant that the Division lacked assigned lift, armor and heavy artillery support of other infantry divisions.

#9 Quick question from a stone civilian: IF someone can wake up one day and decide they are now a woman rather than a man (or vice versa) how can you ever be sure they might not also one day wake up and decide they no longer feel like upholding the Constitution?

#10 decide they no longer feel like upholding the Constitution?

Even for the gender fluid that would be breaching a contract.

#11 I want to know if the major has been getting psych meds all this time, and hormone treatments more recently, all of which could be suddenly discontinued if sent out in the field for any length of time.

#12 Granted, this is the Navy, but you catch the drift (no pun intended...)

#13 Ref #8: .... remember the 3 Rs of a dead end career - reserve, ROTC, and recruiting?

In the 60's and 70's it also included what is now the 18 series.
