Navy Beats Army

Something right up Sigaba's ally.

"..........The army and navy have been feuding over the size of the army fleet ever since mid 19th century, when the army built a large fleet to support its many amphibious operations. The army believes it has a need for some of its own ships, mainly for operating ports and amphibious beachheads. The army likes to remind the navy, and the marines, that soldiers carried out more amphibious operations in the last century than the marines have, and are still ready to fight their way across a defended beach. But in the current state of the economy, the Department of Defense wants the army to finally give up all its ships, and it looks like that is now going to happen. Not in the name of military necessity, but to balance the budget."

Pretty much a done deal. My MAROPS guy is working on a position paper detailing impact on SF. So much for "The One's" promise the military wasn't going to be affected.

I wonder what will happen to the 88K and 88L MOS's. I'm sure they will eventually be phased out, but for those that are currently in the position?
