Aren't the dragoons the Tankers now?Side note: I think it's cool the british army kept the names of (some) cavalry units. In the Netherlands, we also still have 3 Hussar regiments. The scout-units are still the hussars and is still called Cavalry (light cav) and the tanks were part of the cavalry, too (Heavy cav), distinguished by their black barets.

Which I can't wait to be trained on.

Hopefully I my first pick 0861 (FO/JTAC)Spoiler[close]Very nice. I hope to get an FO or JTTAC position myself after my first position. You cannot directly apply for JTAC/FO in the Dutch army, so I will have to do two or three years as platoon commander first.
Just got a Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship to some schools. The US government pays for my full tuition in exchange for my serving as an officer for four years after college. Also still waiting to hear back from the US Military Academy. I have congressional nominations and all the right qualifications, but nothing is ever certain with service academies. Regardless I'll undergo light military training in college and join as an officer after I get a degree.
I'm not exactly sure yet. I've read quite a bit and spoken to some officers. The officer that guided me through the whole process was a lietenant colonel in the Field Artillery, which is the one I'm leaning towards right now.
