Ah yes, Army & typing. My section chief told the 1SGT that I could type and I became the shadow clerk for the 6 weeks before the annual general inspection retyping all of the battery commander’s policy letters, DFs, & etc. We had just gotten a new commander a couple of weeks before. The 1SGT did offer to have me given a clerk-typist’s MOS as my secondary (I was a 13E, field artillery fire direction center) so that if I decided to make a career of the Army I’d have a 2nd MOS to make it to retirement if my hearing got too bad to continue working with the guns. I declined saying that if I stayed in it would not be in artillery. 3 years later I reenlisted for military intelligence

My son was a gunny in the Marines. Even developed a faster way to put guns on target that has been written into the manuals.

But as for ‘military intelligence’...some would say that is an oxymoron :)
