But then, from the other side, you'll find that the "greener" a tradesman is, (the more they operate from the field), the more they understand and appreciate the Rocks and, funnily enough, the more the Rocks respect them. Many here have thanked the Rocks for the training they have provided, and that will be appreciated I can assure you.
Well said Airborne Aircrew.
As a ground tradesman I actually enjoyed any training I received from the Rocks and did appreciate their guidance; even the annual gassing etc. It was only done to sharpen-up our drills!
I would have liked to have had even more training from them; We should have been allowed to do much more firearms training than we did. I was only ever trained to fire the 7.62mm SLR, I would have loved to have trained to use a pistol or GPMG etc.
But then, I always thought I should be a soldier first and a specialised tradesman second!
