That about sums it up for reservist duty. Other then arrest operations and limited operations there is not much for tanks to do. I was stationed at Rafah for 3 months and it was the worst assignment ever both in terms of feeling useless and feeling extremely vulnerable. I'm glad more soldiers won't lose their life needlessly in Gaza anymore. But I will miss the beach in the Gaza! Most beautiful beach in the area.
