So working in communications varies depending on where we get posted to so it can be that I am part of a main stream unit setting up a big regimental operations room, to being part of a small unit using a small hand held radio talking to helicopters while delivering important supplies.

Thanks, Brings up a question to what percentage of the job is civilian to combat?

26 May, 2020 15:21

So being Logistics we are part of the supply chain and support element so we aren't in the forefront of combat, we are trained to deal with combat as we are soldiers first and foremost but we are the guys who get the equipment to the guys on the frontline.
There are opportunities to be attached to the guys on the front if we're in a unit such as Commando Logistic Regiment.
