Military Core Curriculum, A solution to a common problem... Options

[Penta]

So I was thinking...

Maybe it's me, but military/ex-military backgrounds seem very common for certain kinds of campaigns.

Now, that's not a bad thing. Sometimes they make sense.

But I'm a very details-focused GM. I try to prevent errors like someone claiming military experience but missing critical military skills.

So, after talking with MusicMan last night and then sleeping, I came up with an idea.

Skill sets to represent military training.

Now here's my problem: I know how I want to divide things up, but no idea what skills to put in each "set".

Thus I ask for help. If this were to be suitably developed, I'd be happy to consider submitting it to the Dumpshock magazine.

For simplicity, I'm considering SR4, canon 2072. For additional simplicity, I'm going to consider national militaries only.

The idea is that if a character were -just- coming out of chargen after these points, what skills would they have?

How I'm dividing things:

First, by country. Every country runs their military training differently. I see the UCAS and CAS being so alike as to make separating them not worth it for our purposes, but otherwise that holds.

Next, by service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, whatever. Every service tends to do things differently too.

Finally: Officer or Enlisted. Officers get different training than enlisted folks.

Absolutely common stuff:

To join the military, you must have the SINner (standard) quality, usually of the nation whose forces you're joining.
You generally may not have physical flaws such as reduced sense, or mental disorders. They may be gained in service, but you aren't likely to be allowed to join with them.

Now onto the fun stuff:

I'll list a setting, you lay out attribute/skill stuff you think would be gained.

UCAS/CAS, Army, Enlisted Basic Combat Training

UCAS/CAS, Army, Enlisted Specialty Schools

UCAS/CAS, Navy, Enlisted Recruit Training

UCAS/CAS, Navy, Enlisted Specialty Schools

Repeat for Marine Corps and Air Force.

UCAS/CAS, Army, Officer training (ROTC)

UCAS/CAS, Army, Officer training (Service Academy)

UCAS/CAS, Army, Officer training (OCS)

UCAS/CAS, Navy, Officer training (ROTC)

UCAS/CAS, Navy, Officer training (Service Academy)

UCAS/CAS, Navy, Officer training (OCS)

Repeat for Marine Corps and Air Force.

Things I have absolutely no idea how to handle:

Magic-types. Spellslingers and physads. Would they even go through the same training as everybody else? Would they all be officers?

Hackers and technomancers. Again, the same questions arise as with magic-types, especially for TMs.
