Nah, infantry.. back in 1942 one of my relatives (Josh stagg) was in the infantry and got the bravery medal so it inspired me when i was a lil' lad to follow what he did.
Paras is my second choice, i like the idea of the harsh training.
Guards is my last, sollie for the combat role.
My maths is PANTS! lol
