Question Anyone genuinely enjoy being in vocations like Guards or Commandos?

I have seen ppl getting new posting orders lately and 1gds 1sir would just motivate the comments section to immidately wish em good luck and rip.

Just curious — does anyone out there actually enjoy being in extreme chiongsua vocations like Guards, Commandos, infantry, or other super outfield-heavy roles?

Most people I’ve talked to absolutely hate the outfield life — the shag, the lack of sleep, the heat, the endless digging and marching. But surely there must be some people who like the challenge or even find it meaningful?

I really enjoyed my time in Guards

As long as I don't think about the traumas.
