DDALP-THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN . . .

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INFANTRY, THE ARTILLERY AND THE ARMOURED
Written by Cpl (ret) "Durty" Dan Leger

. INFANTRY ARMOURED ARTILLERY

HAPPINESS IS . . . A good rifle A big tank A loud boom

UPON HEARING FIREWORKS Cool, just like a live fire excercise Not loud enough Fireworks? What fireworks?

OTHER TRADES Waste of rations Waste of rations Waste of rations

IDEA OF FUN Not having to "pepper-pot" an entire grid square before the objective Racing across a grid square on "full stab" Levelling a grid square

FAVOURITE SONG "Ballad of the Green Beret" "Purple Haze" Anything, just play it LOUD!

BIGGEST LUXURY IN THE FIELD Engineers blowing trenches for them with C4 Grunts to dig their trenches for them Cable

A LONG ROUTE MARCH WITH FULL KIT 20 clicks From the hangars to the tank What's a route march?

OFFICERS Are morons and should stay away from the trenchlines Are morons and should stay out of the vehicles Are morons and should stay away from the gun lines

FAVOURITE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION Anything but walking Tanks. Tanks. Tanks. TankstankstankstanksTANKS! Don't you have to move around to require transport?

BIGGEST BITCH IN THE FIELD The weather Coffee maker in tank not working Only having basic cable

BREAKFAST IN THE FIELD I don't care what it is, just so long as I can sit down to eat it Hot coffee and rum with a beer chaser Eggs over easy, crispy bacon, sausages, toast and Tim Horton's coffee

WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES Death Techs Cavalry 10 Mile Snipers

WHAT OTHERS CALL THEM Grunts Zipperheads Drop shorts
