I can think of several reasons:
1 - "baby boomers" (my age group) were subject to the draft, and therefore a
high percentage of the males were in the military at one time.
2 - Marine Corps training is very rigorous, and conditions RIM folks for our
usual crawls through old buildings, basements, attics, deserted structures,
etc. to inventory records.
3 - RIM is procedure-oriented, and ex-military are well trained in
developing (or at least memorizing and following) explicit procedures.
4 - the military "builds men" (their slogan, not mine) and enables
ex-military types to lift full records boxes. 8-)
