Combat and War
Transcript
Going over there, we were more or less
under the impression that we
would be on the camp and
that would be the end of it.
We would just do our regular supply duties -
receiving of shipments coming in from
Canada and issuing them out to the
units that were on camp.
I never thought that I would
even have to think about combat.
That's what we had, the infanteers
were there and that was the
role that they played.
Even though the military, it's soldier first,
you kind of get out of that mentality
when you're not constantly
training to be a soldier.
When your training is going elsewhere into,
you know, building warehouses and
how to stock your supplies properly and
definitely not being a soldier.
