Mike, Army 11B myself, so we're in the same line of work.
My in-laws are all Southern California natives, Riverside County Republicans. My prospective brother-in-law is out of Pendleton. Trucker, but then I don't think the Corps has the most intelligent MOS assignment policies for recruit intake. They took a track runner who speaks five languages and put him in a motor-T outfit. Still, he's got the Embassy school coming up next, so they're making up for it.
