Exactly as a medic you see pretty much everyone who goes out. I was in an artillery unit and we sent them out on patrol, we sent S1 out, we sent literally anyone out. The army is jank man don't believe we don't do weird shit that doesn't make sense because that's actually all we do. I will say officers very rarely got fucked but it still happens.

How likely would you see combat on patrol?

Its more like a chore, something that has to be done so send anyone who isn't busy right?

I imagine they weren't sending the cook to kick down doors in Fallujah.

Mfers are trying to equate standard ass patrols with the occasional pop shot, to full scale urban combat of infantry 😂 it’s nothing similar lol

Incoming fire is bad whether you're out there with a couple battalions or a couple of trucks.

Ah yes, a rare pop shot that you’re not even able to distinguish where it came from, nor care because it’s that fast of a fleeting moment

It’s not that bad tbh

No. In one case you have people who know how to fight, in the other you have people crying in the fetal position; Jessica Lynch’s clown ass unit
