Art - Isn't it true that most of the Guard Units called up go into support roles rather than actual combat? Isn't it also true that soldiers that are trained for an actual combat role, that is trading shots with the enemy, have more extensive training than support role? Also, is not basic training just the first part of the soldiers military experience, and after that they get training in whatever job the military assigns them? * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
