14. You train constantly and it is not easy in the infantry

Infantry training is often more difficult than the real thing. Your unit will cycle through numerous training centers like JRTC and NTC and also lots of field training at your local installation. It's frustrating for an infantry soldier to constantly be going in the field as you watch your rear-echelon comrades stay in their barracks. Your comment about infantry being a janitor is uninformed and incorrect. Your everyday U.S. infantry soldier is a highly trained and disciplined individual and his life is not easy.
