I can't imagine what being in a real battle might be like. During my time in the Air Force, we had exercises and such, but since I was always in a medical unit, we didn't too involved in the actual fighting part. The closest I came when I was in Korea, and they had frequent exercises, which meant I had to put on all of the chem gear. And that's no fun. I almost went to Persian Gulf I, but due to a matter of logistics, there wasn't enough room for about 30 people in my unit. Still, they went to a site just barely within Scud missile range and never saw any action.
