lol why are you so resigned to the fact that you're gna be a
rifleman? There are so many vocations out there.
But the life of the rifleman really sucks, I have friends who
are in there, they have 14 (!) days field camp, camo on, dig
shellscrape every night, live firing often, sign extra like crazy,
get foot rot.. just pray that you dont get rifleman.
Maybe you'll get posted to something less xiong like Security
Trooper or Field Defence Squadron or Military Police or something
more xiong like Guards or Recee. Its all a lottery. But for
clerk/storeman? No chance.
Absolutely correct. The worst thing is walking, or running, mile
after mile with the combat load on your feet.
And this combat load / FBO is not your BMT FBO. You'll have the
Matador, SAW or M203 plus the bells and whistles.
