military reliable is a clean euphemism concept up by utilising the merchandising and marketing people, to maintain the recruits coming in and signing up. have not you spotted the army slogans exchange usually. they don't elect those slogans getting stale. What passed off to "a militia of one", or the numerous capture words that preceded it? You get the assumption! that's unlike WW II, while "Uncle Sam elect's you ", lasted for the time of the conflict. military reliable, if I interpret it properly, skill that squaddies out of hardship-unfastened training at the instant are not basically bodily in good shape, they're properly experienced and mentally in a position, besides !

your the lead man. You are the eyes and ears for the rest of your unit so that they don't walk into an ambush. Or you find the best route to an objective. Walking point is not so bad. I done it. If an old artillery boy can do it so can anyone.

It means you're the first one in a line or group. The tip of any formation of people moving in one direction would be the point.

You are he first one in a patrol. normally you will be about 25 meters in front of the rest of the squad. Your job is to look for any danger zones that the squad is about to pass by.
The idea is that the enemy won't shoot at just one man, they will wait for more guys to enter the kill zone to get a better result.

It means you get to be in front of everyone else. Not exactly the best place to be sometimes.
