COMMUNICATION SPECIALIZATION
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
“My antennae is bigger.”
Week 9 marked the end of boot camp (if you think it was short, you’d be correct), a short vacation and (since this is a battalion specializing in mobile HQ’s and communications) the beginning of a month-long communication specialization course, which kicked off with radios and antennae.
Speaking of, another grievance of mine - nobody seems to really want to tell us what happens next. At that point of time, the only things I knew about the future was that I was assigned as a truck driver (of what? In what platoon??) and would be getting a C category driver’s license (for those outside the EU, C category is for trucks). Everything else else was just a large void, the realm of hearsay and rumors.

I...heard that a lot. It struck a nerve each time. I can see it being an ordinary "Oh, look at the bright side" response, but it missed the mark every time.
To me, the ability to become a truck driver...shouldn't be an argument. Because by the time I were to seriously consider that career path, something must have already gone terribly wrong and becoming a truck driver would be like the ultimate concession to failure, a ceremonial flushing down of all previous ambitions. A big fat "Welp, guess there's nothing else I'm good for.
As for the APC question, I can't comment on that - never really talked to the folk that would become APC drivers so don't know which licenses they needed.
