Answer 1

First question:

It's hot, dusty, sandy.

Second Question:

You pull security details. Force protection. And to anyone who is about to say "We do the same thing as the Infantry", come down to Pensacola, FL and I will beat the **** out of you because your job is nothing like mine, POG.

Third Question:

In most cases, as I've seen with active-duty Army and Marine Corps, they send you to the next deploying unit.

Fourth Question:

Are you ******* kidding me? Don't join the military, we don't want cowards among us. All jobs in the military pay the same, it's based on rank. I know some AF POG will come along and say they get paid more, but when an Army guy has two years and is a Sergeant, and the AF guy is still a Senior Airman or Airman First Class after two years, who gets paid better? You need to reach down between your legs and see if you got anything there if you really asked this question.

Answer 2

yes there are MAs in Iraq and Afghanistan.  when you deploy depends on what command you get sent to after Boot and A school.  

NO job precludes never having to carry a weapon.  In fact many watch standers will carry a weapon.   all ratings pay the same based on paygrade and Time in Service.  

Answer 3

That's ridiculous.  If you don't want to carry a gun and fight, then stay the h**l out of the Army.
