OP...just so to add to the ongoing popcorn moment, you should know that special forces (JTF-2, CSOR, CJIRU) is made up of different trades also, with everyone not being a door kicker. A lot of "combat arms" folks have been jumping ship lately to other trades for obvious reasons.

Noted! Thanks I don't keep up too much with the special forces because how sneaky secret they are makes that difficult Why are people jumping to other trades? Is there not a lot going on right now for the "combat arms" folks?

That's OK.  Shamrock was a Strat when the only tracks they saw were the CPR Mainline.
