I started out in the Field Artillery and later re-trained to the Chemical Corps. I was an instructor at the Chemical School and from that instructorship, I wound up re-training two battalions in common soldier skills to include officers and senior enlisted in the engineers and the artillery.
The FA Battalion I was with, I held 3 jobs before I took over the ammo section.
