>Possible Miliatry Occupational Specialites (MOS) for skirmish FMA.

Replying to my own post.  I must be mad.

>Demolitions

Allows the use of demolitions for breaching operations or destroying
stuctures.   Anyone may attempt this without this skill must must roll a
D4
on their task check.

>Grenadier

Hmmmm....I guess "everyone" would be trained on a grenade launcher???

>Heavy Weapons (Vechicle and Crew Served weapons)

Allows the use of Heavy weapons at full effectiveness.	Any model
without
this skill, will use the same weapon at one quality level lower.  If
already
inexperience then the model may not use that weapon.
( I know I couldn't set up and fire a TOW without SOME training)

>Intelligence Specialist

Allows interrigation of caputured models in order to gain information
about
"hidden" or "dummy" markers on the table.

Allows the use of a Machingegun (SAW) at full effectivness. Any model
without this skill, will use the same weapon at one quality level lower.
Required for the use of "SUSTAINED FIRE" with a MG.

>Point Man

Shifts quality die up one for any model trying to "observe" or spot a
trap,
etc.

>Radio (Satellite) Operations

Simple, MUST have in order to communicate with upper echelons.	
Required
for all officers.

>Sniper

No need to explain this one.  Allows the use of special sniper abilites.

>Electronic Warfare Specialist

Easy, required for the use of any Electronic Warfare suite.

>Driver (tracked, wheeled, walker, hover (did you ever drive a hover
craft??
OY!), grav, etc...)

Don't know how this could play in the game....

>Forward Observer (Forward Air Controller)

Makes called artillery(air strikes) more accurate.

>Medic

Allows stablilization of wounded characters.

>Pilot (Fixed Wing, Helicopeter, VTOL, Shuttlecraft, Dropship)

Pretty simple, must have or can't fly.	(What do you mean the pilot got
hit?!?!?!   NOW how do we get out of here???)
