My son is in a triple threat division right now. He had no intention of volunteering based on what he had read here suggesting it was a lot of extra work with no corresponding reward. After a few days in a division filled with very immature individuals (go figure), when they came back through a second time he raised his hand - he said he figured it couldn't be any worse.
And now he loves it. In a recent letter he said if the guys could learn to shut up boot camp would actually be fun.
Looking back, I'm not sure any of the previous 'negative' posts were written by someone who was actually in a 900 division. So it was really good to read your post with specifics. And of course I understand that every division is unique and no two SRs will have the same experience.
He did say that his chief told them he would have no problem ASMOing anyone who failed a test or PFA. So the pressure to succeed the first time is there.
