Hello, all.
On Thursday night, I received word that I have been accepted for a "general duties" position on TF 1-07. I'm doing IBTS in December. I know nothing else. Would anybody be able to enlighten me as to some details?
Somebody raised an interesting (and disturbing) possibility: what if this is not for Kandahar at all, but for the "other" camp (the one with the lawn by the patio outside the mess)? I had never heard tell of "GD" positions overseas before.
With so little work-up training, would I even be able to get outside the wire at all? It looks damned unlikely to me.
Before I became a reserve infanteer, I was a Sig Op with the finest sigs unit in the CF (2 CMBG HQ & Sig Sqn), and was with NCE Sigs on Op Athena Roto III. Does anybody see any possibility of my gaining employment in some capacity that might take me outside the wire, owing to this prior experience?
I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, and I know that this is going to make me sound like a damned ingrate, especially after nagging my clerks, training warrant, and anybody else who would listen about getting some information as to what was going on with my position number, but this is not what I remustered to infantry for.
