A few things a little mixed up.
1) The Army no longer uses SSN on your DOG TAGS instead it is DODID and you can no longer have Jedi on them as well
2) You do not have to be FROM the US to join the Army, I went to Basic Combat Training with Russians, Mexicans, Jamaicans, and others trying to get their US citizenship
3) You can have more than 2 dependents when joining the Army as a lot of people who join in their late 20s early 30s and have full families

As a soldier in the US Army I can confirm that on our dog tags it doesn’t have our SSN anymore. It was replaced with our DOD ID number

Actually members of the Army did use commercial carriers returning from Vietnam Via the Philippines and Hawaii wen the US pulled out of Vietnam. Due to the high numbers of Service members coming back there were not enough Military transports for them. So there would be Busses from Fort Ord in Monetary at SFO to trans port them to the base where many would then receive their ETS. (Air force would end up at Travis, and Navy and Marines in San Diego) Please do a better job of doing your home work. Maybe ask some Vets?

Just throwing out there that Stubby was a pitbull and was most decorated war dog of World War 1. Also he was the only dog to be nominated for rank and then promoted to sergeant through combat

The National Guards birthday is 13 December, 1636 and it’s a reserve component of the US Army making it the oldest military branch.

Correction: people DID spit on soldiers returning from Vietnam. There’s countless stories of soldiers talking about it and yes soldiers can and do come back through commercial airports sometimes it’s not always military aircraft into military airfields furthermore it wasn’t just then they initially came home that these instances happened. If it was found out that you were in the army regardless if you had even been to Vietnam you were disrespected by close minded hippies

I took the Military (ASVAB) test and I don't remember any questions like the Saturn's moons related thing. There were more mechanics, physics, math, and more functional related questions. But there are some abstract thinking type questions.

Dog tags no longer contain a service member's SSN. It has been replaced with their DoD ID number.

My grandfather, a Naval deck gun hand who served on the USS blue in some of the early years of 'Nam, when he and his group departed a bus in California they were spat on, I saw how it effected him strongly when he spoke, I'll take his word over yours

[NaturallyMe]

They made that alien movie about The Battle of Los Angeles lol

That Coca Cola thing was very interesting. There’s literally a Coca Cola machine everywhere on every Army instillation.

Trivia about Baron Von Steuben; He taught soldiers certain tasks such as the quickest way to reload a musket by breaking the task down into numbered steps. From that comes the saying "do it by the numbers" Also the city of Stuebenville Ohio is named after him, albeit in around about way.
