Hey what's up boys. First of all kudos, hats off and all of that...honestly I believ you guys are men among men. I myself will be joining the ranks of the Canadian Infantry tomorrow morning officially and starting my basic training May 7, shooting for a tour in A-stan in mid to late '08 I hope.
Anyway my question goes like this. I'm sure it's a lot easier to think your prepared to act once bullets are being fired at you than it is to actually act once your under the gun. Maybe this is just a little bout of cold feet goin in but the last thing I would ever wanna do is freeze in a combat situation and jeopardize my buddies...so to get to the point of it all, just wondering how many if any of you boys had anxiety goin out on your first tour...like how were the nerves? or was training good enough that fear is not so much as a faint echo? Also if I'm just being a pansy about this please feel free to tell me to shut up, man up and not worry cause that might be what I need to hear.
Feel free to message me if anyone has any tips/advice
Finally I apologize if this has wasted anybodies time reading through it.
