Signalliers, who out there thinks that the Army has specialized the signal branch to much?

Signal corp is mi. Snowden is a hero.

This is actually something that has been in the works for a while now, and for good reason. Far too often, I've heard Signaleers say "that's not my MOS" -- but communicators from each specialty should really be trying as best they can to learn every piece of equipment on their team. Great question.

With the way technology is growing signal sections are too thin.
At the BN level my 25Us need to learn the B/Q world and vice versa just to cover down and not drop missions. Meanwhile I dont have enough experienced NCOs in the ranks to train and mentor new Soldiers in their field.
Personally I think you need expand the UMR at certain levels so we can meet all the mission requirements and not have to worry about brand new Soldiers from one MOS getting crash courses on a different MOS and sent out to "make it happen." We are almost at the point where we are wasiting Army time and money not capitalizing and developing Soldiers in their specialties after months of training.

Sometimes swiss army knife Soldiers aren't the best answer.
