Hello.
I am looking for first hand accounts of the lifestyles of the engineers, artillery, and infantry soldiers. I have passed the interview, have been told I am eligible for all trades, and am now waiting for intake calls. I have researched each trade in depth, and now feel I would benefit from getting opinions from active tradesmen.
What is life like working in any of the three trades? I mean LIFE, not the job... what is home life like? What kind of stress is put on your families? Do you see your kids? Do you ever kiss them goodbye expecting it to be your last goodbye? Is there anything my wife could do to mentally prepare for the lifestyle? I understand it will be what I make it - but what has your experience been like?
Im looking for good and bad accounts. Happy and sad. Stability or regret. ANY opinion from active members in these trades will help me and my family in a huge way.
Thank you all!
