Yup, sang that when I was in BMT, but nobody scold us.

Whereas combat people face many dangers in the field, CSS also do face dangers. Facing danger everyday literally. Gotta tackle those vehicles and equipment, nearly got blinded many times. And got many people whose thumb is cut off, gashes on the head, vehicle roll over them, broken ankle, all this when reparing those stupid !@#$%^&*(*() stuff SAF bought, nice to see and operate, but hell to repair and maintain.
