I was an 0311 (riflemen) but got attached to 3rd LAR as a scout (Light Armoured Recon)
My point was that for decades now, most people in the service have some pride left over at the end of their initial training, but not us. The Army has all kinds of initial training programs to fit the various MOSs. I’m proud to have finished it, but the kind of personal pride that existed before the 13 weeks of initial training (called one-station unit training) was completely dogged out of us. We liked crawling and pushing the ground as much as walking...yeah, like dogs.
