Whatever you say, I still think that combat soldiers deserve a
higher vocation pay than non-combat soldiers. Think about it, you
have mental stress. We have both physical and mental stress. I am a
platoon sergeant, and I used to stress my trainees a lot, both
mentally and physically. And if there's a war, we are the ones that
put our lifes on the line. Not you guys, still in the nice air-con
office and enjoying daily bookouts. And worse of all, there is
still so much cock-ups in our adminstration. I am serving reservist
now, with only four more to go, so I know.
A second sergeant is no big shit, but I can count with my two hands
how many times I get to go home during my operational service. Now
during reservist, the clerks get to sit in the air-con office the
whole time while we chiong sua outside. They usually get to
outprocess earlier too.
Think about it.
