We have a female Captain whose Arms Badge is that of a combat
engineer. Then, someone else said that the Arms Badge is reflective
of the [b]vocation one is trained in. However, I doubt
this Captain is trained as a combat engineer, right?[/b]
Yes like what you are thinking, yes combat engineer officer
course is the worst course you ever want to be, much worst then
ranger or commando courses.
Then the question is how she manage it, easy get her officer rank
in other arms first like being a infantry officer first, then do
the combat engineer officer course. Well since they are officer
already, they have a lot of prvilieges, and excuse from some
punishment which the cadets and are excuse from a lot of other
activities, but it is still hell for those officers. If she really
gone through it , she is good.
