I did some searches, Ive been reading the infantry board for a bit, and a bit of artillery.
I am just wondering, i went to get my paperwork started today, and well found out that infact my area has artillery and infantry regiment, i thought there was only infantry. So i ended up talking to the artillery guy first, he gave some good information about what they do, one thing i didn't like was that they often had to drive 3 hours on weekends to go to the training base to fire the guns. that would kinda suck going that far. what i did like was that the "extra work" i could help out with included just driving vehicles around, sounds fun lol.
So then i talked to the infantry guy, and well he was more pushy lol, basically just saying "lets put you down for infantry, its more fun" i told him though i still wasn't sure what i wanted to do. As far as what i like about infantry, well i want to get into policing, and I like the idea of learning small arms, hand to hand combat, and maneuvering tactices. Also i think all the PT might be good for me ;D .
I don't know which to take though, i am eager to take on the challenge and think i can do it. but (i hope this doesn't sound wussy lo :-[l) well whenever i used to play hockey, i would always play, but i frequently would pull muscles, get minor injuries, and if infantry is the body beater i hear it is, i Don't know if i can avoid getting hurts often lol. I'm sure i would work thru it and push on, but is it worth it if i could do artillery.
About artillery i have read a bit about hearing loss, and well that worries me bigtime, i don't want to be deaf, i need my good hearing for policing lol, I'm sure you wear protection, but i donno :-\
I am really torn between the two, where as the infantry sounds like a lot of fun, the artillery sounds more suitable almost. i consider myself probably stronger than i am cardio fitness wise.
Oh also, the regiment size for infantry in this area is like almost 200 people, where as the artillery regiment in this area is only about 30. i donno if id want to be with a smaller group, little bit closer guys, or have more guys so i can find people i can hang out with easier?
Any recommendations/opinion etc would be helpful, i guess i have till next Tuesday to think about it and do research.
