Not that this would be policy before/during the Twilight War, but we do have a game that we could use to experiment. Using v2.x chargen, it's easy to mandate that PCs work a term in a non-combat arm before hitting infantry or another combat arm.

Thoughts?

Well speaking as a former infantry soldier and current non-combat soldier I think this a terrible idea.

Most of your non-combat soldiers are skilled tradesmen. Making people take training for a job they don't want is bad, it will give units unmotivated troops who are just cooling their jets till they get a slot in combat arms. Or you end up with troops that don't want to leave. I mean the pull of coffee and doughnuts in the rear is a powerful weapon. That why I began a Human Resource Administrator (yes that what we call our trade now)

And let me tell you infantry is a young man's job best to get them in when they are full of Piss and Vinger.
