Moreover, i have heard that technicals(eme,sig & eng) also have to undergo an infantry yo besides their own.is it true?
Does that mean they are subjected to a wider spectrum of responsibilities.
I am not sure about YO being done by technical, but even if they do it, what's the harm?
You aim to be a soldier of PA so keep morals high. It is too early for you to think about YO.
