On the positive side, you are well qualified for a second career as a shepherd because you know how to live outside and lead.

An Infantryman is "the perfect generalist"

You can throw him into pretty much any situation and he will use his noggin to figure out a way to come up on top. It might not be pretty - but it'll work

Least appealing aspect of the Infantry?

Lack of female co-workers ....
;D

Question three on the Preparing For Your Interview asks what are some aspects of the Forces and Infarty

I'm surprised that nobody caught that last word.

Having started out as a grunt, I know that some can get a little, ummm, inelegant at times but I don't remember ever being called "Infarty".

 

[Journeyman]

Come on now, the question asks about "infarty," the thread title is "Infanty"......third time's a charm.

ps - anyone know what that "Spell Check" square thingee down below the typee-window means? Ahh, go on, it's a trick question - - of course you don't.

 

[George Wallace]

OK

Spelling Police here.

I'll correct the Topic title for youse all.

 

[the 48th regulator]

Grate leave it up to L'Armour guy to ruin our phun.

Damn, I'm so young I had to google that...

Not to bring the thread back on course but I do have these memories:

- Lighting a smoke and breaking it in two because I'm shivering so hard & not being able to light another because my fingers are frozen. (I eventually quit - smoking)

- Having to fill up your trench & redig 10 feet East because the CO didn't like your position  ...

- 21 days on Ex in Norway - 21 days of cold steady rain. 48 hours leave - another 2 days of rain. Sky seemed to clear when the plane took off...

- Considering -22°C to be balmy weather ...


But there are some good memories:

- Walking past the Lt sound asleep in his shelltrench... in 3 inches of water... (Should I wake him? - naahhhh  ;D)

- The major asking to be awakened after a 2 hour nap .... waking up on his own 18 hours later ! (Managed to rent a motel room and getting the whole HQ platoon a hot shower )

.....knowing that no advertising agency will ever use pictures of my feet to model anything........except maybe the "before" picture.

I've always thought one of the cruellest played jokes on the infantry is the amount of syllables in its name.
