Once upon a time in the blurry past, I had a young man working for me who had
completed apprenticeship training as an asbestos worker (read "insulator"),
really skilled, leader of men, I trusted him wiyj 20 man crews $400,000
(equivalent to $5 plus million in today's market) projects then. Really good
troop! He knew his draft number was coming so he enlistedm "with civilian
acquired skill". Army tried to make him a cook, AF tried to make him an AP,
Navy at least put him in steam power, reasonably close to his civilian learned
skill.
He finally retired from the Naval Reserve as a Commander some twenty three
years later.
Needs of the service, ya know.
