The Army will expand a program that allows some lieutenants to apply for transfer into different career fields, including functional areas that were previously unavailable until after serving in command as a captain. www.stripes.com/branches/arm...
Army to expand opportunities for lieutenants to switch career fields
Previously, a new officer would have to stay in a career field for seven or eight years before having an opportunity to switch to something new.

During a Japanese attack on Bougainville in 1944, Seabee E.C. Scarborough searched his foxhole for more ammo. He found and opened a package of gun clips that contained a slip of paper upon which was printed "Inspected by Mrs. Bernice Scarborough"...his wife.

85 years ago, 48 volunteers jumped into history at Fort Benning. Their daring leap created U.S. Airborne forces. 🪂🔥
Today we celebrate National Airborne Day! 🇺🇸

Paratroopers today learn their craft in the Basic Airborne Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, where soldiers leapt into history 85 years ago. On Aug. 16, 1940, 48 volunteer members of the Army Parachute Test Platoon jumped from a Douglas B-18 Bolo bomber at 1,500 feet. The jump was less than 45 days after the establishment of the platoon and marked the true beginning of U.S. airborne forces.
