As I prepare my activity section for the upcoming cycle I am struggling with my military service aspect...

I commissioned as an Engineer Officer (USA) then did 6 months of OBC about everything construction/offense/defense. Then spent about a year in the S3 shop actually doing a little bit of things compared to other LTs (DTMS master trainer, USR, usual planning/FRAGO/OPORD writing, etc). Then was transitioned to fill a MEDO spot with the med platoon because...well...it's the Army so why not? Finished out the last couple of months of time as the Rear-D BDE S3.

So how I have it set up now is definitely separating the MEDO and the S3 activities, but should I separate out any other additional duties? Without including those and just those 2 activities from the Army, I am at about 8 activities.

Thoughts?
