Yup. Cross-Trained (Guns (Rifle)*) is realistic for US Army Special Forces.

I don't know if they train with a lot of types of other weapons, though. Probably several models of machine gun, rockets and mortars, but assuming that they spend a few points on each, normal rules for familiarities might suffice. In any case, my PC is made without Cross-Trained for any other specialities.

*Well, Guns (Longarm) in all campaigns we play, as we're using Hans' Alternate Guns Specialities from Pyramid.
