BIG E said:Ive been told that being a Bosn in the Navy is boring? We'll at least compared to other trades like Infantry and such..is this true? Do Bosn's fire small arms weapons a lot? Do Naval Boarding parties take action a lot?
BIG E said:Hi guys.
I'm really considering to be a boatswain in the Canadian Navy. How does it compare to an infantryman? Do you fire many small arms weapons? Can you become a small arms specialist in the navy?

Pat in Halifax said:Otis: It is WIN...and if you knew what they were(are) doing you would understand my original entry that no one trade is boring. Everything we do as sailors/soldiers/airmen(women) is training for deployment. SNMG1/OP APOLLO/OP ALTAIR deployments are absolutely nothing like FISHPAT/SOVPATs, MISSELEXs and even WUPs. The potentials are real and as many have elluded to in the answers to the original question, pretty much any trade in any Service has it's moments of boredom...but to say, or imply that the comment made you laugh I believe borderlines on an insult to WIN's crew and their efforts.
