I've noticed that most people have made a character with some type of military background and that sometimes the skills don't really make sense for the background. So, I was wondering what would be a normal skillset for a soldier in the UCAS/CAS/Sioux/Pueblo/Aztlan army? I'm talking standard infantry soldier and then from there what would be the specialized skills for say, a drone rigger, magic support, heavy weapons support, and several other MOSs. I'm also kind of interested because of a future campaign idea as well. Thanks.
