Probably would be a Tank Commander (TC).

Initial training in the Army was at Fort Knox, KY in armor school learning to be a driver, loader, and gunner.

Then on to Mechanized Infantry as a Rifle, Mortar, and Anti-Tank Platoon Leader.

Military Advisor to a Saudi Motorized Infantry Battalion during the Battle of al-Khafji.

As a former C-DAT (computerized, dumb a$$ tanker), I was driver, loader, and gunner before hanging up my overalls at the close of the Cold War. I would like to sit in the Commander's station for a stint.

Though, having followed my MBT experience with Navy helicopter CSAR and SOF support, I think I would like to stick to supporting Dark Ops and feather head recovery.

Stuff like this is what sets Galaxy's Edge above other sci-fi franchises. Little things that give the fans more to enjoy and allow us to interact and comment and enjoy. Excellent article and looking forward to more.

I would take whatever position the Legion saw fit to place me in, and I'd bitch & moan about it the entire time like a good treadhead should!

I’d love to be a driver. Like Captain de Macha would say. I’ve got a right tread and a left tread so stay out of the way
