He was already a "hard 5" (SGT E-5) when he arrived with us, and had an 11B (infantry) MOS. That means he had been in the Army for 3-4 years minimum before he arrived. Could have served with you in Signal at Ft. Benning, but I don't know. The MOS change (to 11B) would be a tad unusual - unusual, that is, unless he got on someone's bad side (like 1SG, Company CO, etc.). Could have happened. If you have his mailing address (snail mail or e-mail) or a phone no., let me know if you can. I'll get in touch and see.
