sometime i wish i was in a mounted rifle coy instead of dismounted recce lol. rucks w all your kit, stano, weapon, food and water sucks. but on the plus side. it does burn cals and its atleast some pt. although its not fun it is still a workout. especially bush bashing for 5hrs in the nerepis hills looking for a orv and OP position. good times though, uit was just a training ex but my det did amazing, gathered some sick intel and at 2 times was 20m from enemy patrols without gettin busted.
