And don't believe the part in Terry Copp's "Battle Exhaustion" where it says that men who scored high on their intelligence tests were channeled into the armoured.
It has been my experience (completely peacetime, without any real threat of injury or death) that the simpler the squaddie, the braver he was.

Well, you can carry your kit or your kit can carry you!!
Intelligent or not?? :idea:
Besides, 011 come before 031.
Nawww, I like Infantry types but wouldn't want their job for all the tea in China. I were one once upon a time, long long ago in the Reserve (WNSR) and it just made the choice to be a Zip all the more easy. FN, Y-strap webbing, grenade launcher and steel pot on my head? Pass!!
Anywho.............I found a pic or two:
