I remember helping 12C build a bridge before, that was very stressful and laborious. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have to build a bridge under enemy fire.

@@MUSIC10.7 depends on most (your job), how many years of your life you're willing to sacrifice, the component you join (active, guard, reserve, etc), when you join (sometimes time of year effects, usually october is good), if you're a citizen of the U.S. etc

[@JesterKingX]
