I'm a little pissed off at the attitudes of new privates/soldiers I heard this week-end in meaford while on the TF0306 selection.
You guys need to shut your mouths and listen more.
Standing around in the rain on a simple range week-end complaining for 2 days about how much it sucks is stupid. You don't have enough time in to complain about being rained on. It's also embarrassing standing near you listening to you cry.
If you cant stand being bored and wet for a few hours you should probably rethink your decision to go overseas because it's going to get a hell of a lot harder.
I'm not sure if I missed the memo about tours overseas being an easy thing to get as a reservist- last I heard it was still something big. I don't know how many young soldiers I heard bitching about how they won't even bother taking a tour if it's at camp mirage.
What, your a reserve private with 7 months in and your too fucking good to deploy to certain jobs overseas? Get over yourselves.
What gets me the most is the seemingly universal plan I heard from a lot of the new guys- doing the 6 months work up training then pulling off tour before you go. Real professional assholes, where do you come up with this stuff? I guarantee if any of the older guys hear about you doing this it's going to get back to your regiments, why not do yourself a favor and let someone go over who will actually appriciate AND finish the tour.
