That sucks. I was always a fan of the phrase "every mortarman is an infantryman, but not every infantryman is a mortarman!" Made up for having far longer training days than the Rifle Flights (we mostly had to fit our mortar training around all the other mandatory pre-deployment training, hence we used to tab our mortars around ranges and exercise areas so we could drill on them while waiting for stuff to happen).
