11C, or a mortarman.

I think I was helped by the fact that I'm single and a little older than everyone else who went. I'm 32 and the oldest in my platoon, so I think I was able to process what was going on a lot easier than guys in their late teens/early 20s who were over there. A year for an 18, 19-year old is a a lifetime. For me, a year seems like a few months now, lol.
