Be it just a task or an actual trained position. What just sucks?

MAJ (Join to see) from my experience being a casualty assistance officer and having to notify next of kin of the death of a serviceman and helping the spouse work through the processes after death was the most personally challenging.
I learned to enjoy KP since I got to eat more when I was an enlisted man :-)
Police call was challenging but it performed a useful function - much of the time - except for painting rocks :-)
I concur with you MSG Dan Walther

Sir,if you had asked me that back in 1965 it would be hands down,KP in Basic or if you really wanted
To get down and dirty,KP in the consolidated mess,reception center Ft.Dix N.J. suck is just too mild an expression for this “worst job”,getting ready for an IG inspection is a cake walk in comparison!

LTC Stephen C.
SGT Philip Roncari, I remember that the guys who were assigned as Dining Room Orderly (DRO) had it made as all they did was serve officers. If you got "Pots and Pans", you were dead by the end of the detail!

LTC Stephen Curlee -Sir, I never made DRO or supernumerary on guard mount my luck was usually grease pit,pots and pans,and on guard duty which ever post was the furthest out in the hinterlands,with my luck when we were pulled out of the boonies in Vietnam during a mini Christmas truce,you guessed it KP ,and on my birthday,luckily I wasn’t armed!
