Me 40 SAR 2nd mono-intake '92 and ORD 95.
There are pros and cons in different vocation.
During active time, half of my platoon was
downgraded.......
Can it be use as a benchmark to measure the siong-ness????
Frankly, my reservist units consists of Lao Jiao from PDF x-trained
to AI to top up our unit strength. 50% of my reservist platoon made
up of lao jiao. 
After training with them, initially they commented that AI more
senang than Infantry as we got the following,
1) Before exercise start and after exercise cut, we got M113 to
ferry us.
2) We can store additional ration in M113
3) While vehicle on the move, they quite senang as the
driver/comanders are fighting for them.
However, they mentioned the following siong things as an AI
1) We got more stores to take care of and 1206 to sign.
2) We got more weapons to mount/dismount and clean. 40/50,
MG/Co-ax(per sectioin)
3) As infantry, once exercise cut, they only need to take care of
their own personal weapon and store. As an AI, we need to take care
of signal set, optics, heavy weapons (40/50), MGs/Co-ax and
stores.
During their first few armour ICT with us, they thought got M113
quite senang, ferry them here and there..........Mounted assualt on
objective, dismount to clear enemies.....................
However, during our reservist ATEC, M113s were only used to ferry
us to the admin point and laager point only......other than that,
us AI were doing coastal hook from Scout camp to Area D, walk by
foot to SAFTI live firing area, charge up E-shape knoll.....
After capturing the objectives, then the M113 shows up for defense
and laager.... 
Guess only a true blue Armour trooper kia knows about the
"usefulness" of the vechicle......................mrgreen:
