It's administration, as in personal administration i.e looking after your weapon, kit and yourself.

Its a bag of b*llox and what you'll spend the vast majority of time doing in the early stages of training (and thereafter). That said, it is very much a necessary evil however tedious it amy seem at first.
It is imperitive you can maintain your kit (and yourself)and keep it in good working order so everyhthing is functional when in the field and later on during operations, and that you dont, yourself go down with an illness. You therefore spend massive amounts of time washing (yourself and kit), ironing, ensuring the accommodation is immaculate at all times, folding rig (clothes), de-servicing kit and much, much, more..... :o
