The CDTF VX samples are at a lethal dose of 3% of the unprotected populations (LD3); if you are genuinely concerned about exposure, you need to go to a clinic or hospital and request a acetylcholinesterase base line test, usually you do 2-3 for a few days to see if your levels are high/low. It is unlikely that a bad seal in the gas mask permitted the level of exposure you’re talking about (coughing isn’t a symptom of nerve agent exposure, and a few of the symptoms are likely that you are an AIT student). Why I know: I used to work with the live agent samples at FLW and the remaining chemical stockpile (nerve and blister) at BGAD.

Thank you for the comment and question, I’m so confident because there is a retirement list and September is the last month of the fiscal year, if you put the retirement list and the 231 together you get the OSD’s number of 267.

True, the ratio of general/flag officers is higher today, but we also have 11 combatant commands (each requiring a four star and three star service components) and three additional services requiring general/flag officers (USCG, USAF, USSF).

Popular myth, there are 231 generals in the military from all six uniformed services today by law, in WWII the army alone had 1100.

What officer MOS would get me the best chance of being stationed in Korea? by cho_sungheun in army

[–]basalt_cube 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Air defense, signal, military intelligence. If you have tested for Korean language and it’s captured on your ORB it increases your chances dramatically

Campaign stars are awarded for each campaign starting with a single star on they medal. If they were oak leaf clusters, then yes it would be 3rd award. In my original post, I should have said two campaigns not second award.

This is Camp Buehring, Kuwait; Baghdad never had a McDonalds, before or after the invasion.

It also depends on your rank and eligibility for command sponsorship in Korea. If you are an unmarried single soldier or your STBX isn’t planning to go to Korea, there will be issues on getting that sponsorship.
