Good evening,
This is probably a dumb question, based on one misunderstanding after another.
But, what is the "difference" in their day to day lives, and in their jobs?
Do paras really spend their days in planes, and do RMCs really spend their time cruising the seas?
And do they tend to operate in different areas, doing different things? If so, can anyone elaborate?
I was originally drawn to the RMCs as I wanted to be "something more" than just infantry, and not spend the majority of my service peacekeeping or staying on base.
But as a mediocre swimmer, boats only entice me so much. Is there really a lot of waterwork to be done, or are they mainly land based now?
Are there any other notable differences between them?
Deployment rates maybe, or how often they see combat?
Anything you can tell me will probably be new to me, so feel free.
Thanks a lot guys
