Just pray you aren't made a combat medic in an infantry or
guards battalion. You have to carry the stretcher (ok, so you can
use it as a bed when no one is looking) and your medical bag along
with a rifle and stuff.
It's right up there with being an 84 gunner/loader. But at least
you get to fire the darn 84 whereas how often will you get to sleep
on a stretcher.
The only nice thing I can think of being a combat medic in a "legs"
unit is that the men are really nice to you and you are generally
left to your own devices in the field (no extra duties like digging
the laterines, etc).
