Why the hodgepodge of MOS's from the reserve unit? Could be explained if they were from different units, but an 11B would not be MOSQed in an MI unit and SGT Cross (misspelled in the wiki as "sargent" instead of "sergeant") would not be in a line company in an infantry unit...and there are no infantry units in the Reserves...the only position for an 11B in the Army reserves would be as a Drill Instructor. Saul's MOS could be explained as not having been afforded the opportunity to attend a MOS school.

Ammunition at the armory...generally violates regulations but the small amount of ammunition COULD be allowed temporarily after a range--but what is the origin of the ammunition for the .50 cal.? That is unlikely to have been available at the armory.

Yeah, Angel's not a commanding officer. Not sure where that came from on the Wiki.

The hodgepodge of MOS's come from a lot of active duty soldiers, and some reserve, cross-training and re-classing for one reason or another. Saul didn't have a chance to re-class yet or go to another MOS school. Typically there's a waiting period depending on spots available, etc... Reserve units sometimes struggle to maintain being staffed, and you can get people from all over the place or MOS to fill in slots.

And Yes, there is not supposed to be ammo in the armory. That's intentionally fudged, but at the same time holds some truth, because it happened once that I knew about IRL. The 50 cal ammo came from Burt's "special room". They wouldn't have had that in the military armory. Only smaller-caliber ammo related to weapons qualification.
