Hey anyone who cares, i was wondering if women are allowed to become combat engineers. I am just entering grade 9 and i was thinking of that as one of my career choices. If women are allowed to become them what courses should i try and take for grade 10 and later on. ( just another question how many engineers have been killed on the job?).
Cae, if you wish too join the Engineer's with in the rank's be prepared for hard work and I do mean hard work from a male's point of view.
It's a trade where we all pull our weight,wheather it's bridging,road construction,water purification,demo.etc.it's a physically damanding job.
With in our job we have so many variables where we all have to perform to our utmost to complete our task's.
Your only 14 now so I suggest get your education first,and if you care to join us all the power to you.
But if you do be prepared for hard work.
As to your question "just another question how many engineers have been killed on the job?"
It's a question all of us in Combat Arm's will not answer, never mind us Engineer's,it's somthing that is just not done,so don't ask. O.K.?
We know whom we have lost and so do others in Combat Arms with in thier trades, if you join you will learn and know thier stories.
Good luck if you choose the life of a Engineer
