Wow, the program generated this guy. What a beast. 11 years in jail, 3 years in the military and 5 years as a gang member. The guy has 'A' ratings in Close Combat and Ranged Combat and is a cold blooded killer. If you're running a "Dirty Dozen" style campaign full of ex-cons, he's your man lol.

All that and still only a D in Survival! I guess "prison survival" is a different skill altogether.

It's worth noting that the US military requires going to basic again if you've been out 5+ years.
The Navy and Coast Guard require army and air force to undergo portions of basic due to uniform skills needs - especially damage control. (A buddy of mine went Army-Army Nat. Guard-USCG, and got sent to basic. He's either retired or about to retire as a CWO3...)
Most interservice transfers also cost a stripe for EM/NCO, but not for Officers.
