I guess that would depend on where you're at.
If it's anything like I've witnessed, you will be used for details 98% of the time and fueling 2%.

SSG Ed Mikus isn't being sarcastic, from my experience. Also, I think you should lean forward and figure out which additional duties you'd like as a CPL or SGT - CBRN, ATRRS, IMO, Weight Control, Remedial PT, Key Control, etc. The list goes on and on.

Fuel handlers have a very important and taxing role in Garrison; in the field; and during deployments. The provide one of the most essential support elements to the line unit regardless of type. In fact we can function for a while without food and water, but not at all without fuel.

Being a fueler. Although i haven't been to the school, it's,what I do.. I am 88m. But my readiness NCO has me in fuel. I was taught fuel by a old breed,army sgt when it was still 77f. And for some reason I do fuel instead. But hey I like what I do. I'm good at it. . The pulse of the unit is in my hands. And i like it alot.

HHC is pretty chill for foxtrots. I'm in A. Co and we supply the majority of the btn with fuel. I believe you have 1sg Robinson, he's real cool.

It totally depends on who your working with. If you like the outdoors you might want to take a little jog or hike during lunch or after work though so you won't miss it as much. In time you'll adapt.
