What is the life expectancy of a US Army Cavalry Scout?
I know they're in the combat division. I'm actually looking for a kind of most dangerous to least dangerous type of list. Like the top three most dangerous jobs in the military most dangerous to least dangerous. I'm not afraid or second guessing as a Cavalry Scout, I'm just curious.
PLEASE give me real answers! Don't answer me if you're only going to leave a dumb, completely irrelevant answer. Thanks!
The life expectancy of an Army cav scout is probably considerably higher than the general population in any given age cohort. Consider:
1. The Army screens for health problems, meaning many of the medical problems found in the general population are not found in the Army.
2. The Army encourages physical fitness and healthy eating, reducing the risk of heart disease (#1 killer of men). It also provides smoking cessation resources, not that those are very popular.
3. The military lifestyle encourages discipline, situational awareness, and risk management, all of which reduce the probability of accidental death.
4. The Army provides free or low cost health care. The VA provides health care for veterans.
On the negative side, there is a risk of life-shortening injury or death in military operations, and I have heard rumors that some soldiers drink immoderately, but I doubt those are enough to offset the cumulative effect of all the other factors that drive life expectancy to the right.
