The PPM Estimator currently asks for the branch of service so that it can show an advance of 50% for the Marines and 60% for everyone else.
According to MARADMIN 192/18,
Marines may receive an Advance Operating Allowance (AOA) of up to 60% of the expected cost to move the estimated weight.
Assuming there is no other reason to ask for branch of service, simply remove that drop-down from the form, and use 60% to calculate the advance for all users.
