Don't do it mate, not untill you've tried it. How about you get to your unit, then get attached. You can then have all the fun and sack the BS. I'm an ex infanteer of 11 yrs, been recce, sniper, anti-tanks and finally med centre. Before I transfered to the RAMC as my Regt got disbanded. Done a painful two years in a med regt but going back to teeth arms as a medic, which is the best place for us. Try it and see.
