As previously promised, some additional information regarding certain careers in the US Army. As with the civilian careers I posted above, this information is tailored to my personal campaign and you will need to scrutinize it closely to make sure it fits in your version of the game. (I tend to run more lethal games, so I give the players more to work with as a balancer).

This information (in some cases) replaces information in the T2K v2.0 rule set, so a careful examination of this material will be helpful to the reader. This information mirrors life itself, as both are a work in progress.

Suggestions for accurate portrayal of the MOS's discussed are welcomed. This information only covers the US Army and I will post what little information I have regarding the Marines, Air Force, and Navy as time permits.

Please note that, in some cases, this information replaces what is in the rulebook, and in others, repeats what is present. My inclusion of the original information is, in no way, a challenge to whomever holds the copyright on the Twilight: 2000 property.

In closing, let me apologize in advance if anyone is offended or upset by my phrasing or interpretation of the MOS's discussed.

With all that being said, I offer the following:

UNITED STATES ARMY CAREERS
