Would you go through "combat training" again to embark on a civilian career?

Anyone who has ever played rugby or even seen it played can find the similarities between it an combat, particularly hand-to-hand combat...

Played rugby for several years. I think it would be more about team work, determination, physical fitness but not necessarily hand-to hand combat.

I would say that those that have played rugby for a while find a calm in all the chaos on the pitch - especially in the ruck. There is also the running into 15 guys wanting to kick you ass. The flight response is not there - you eagerly run into danger.
