Females?

It says this MOS was closed to females in 2006. I have been a 19D since 2003 and I have never heard of a female 19D. As far as I know it has always been combat arms and closed to women. Is there a source showing that it has ever had women?Feral Mind (talk) 08:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide Approach

The term Cavalry Scout is not just unique to the United States but in other militaries around the world as well. Example: Australia Light Cavalry Scout -Signaleer (talk) 16:10, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OSUT

This line on OSUT was completely wrong

"There are only a handful of Army MOSs(combat arms only) that are trained this way, referred to as OSUT (or One Station Unit Training)."

74D and 31B are both OSUT MOSs, and neither of them is considered to be combat arms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.144.134.2 (talk) 15:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History - bad case of recentism

Scouts of this type are as old as cavalry. Even in the U.S., this should tie to the Native American scouts of the 19th century, for example, and to the white civilian scouts of that era, Buffalo Bill and the like. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:43, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Training and School information

Most of the information presented here is completely outdated and was badly written to the point of being self contradictory and/or factually known to be straight wrong. It should be deleted. This entire article is outdated, riddled with errors and should be re-written. 24.56.242.22 (talk) 13:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
