3. This is one of the hardest jobs in the Army

or the Navy, the Air Force or the Marines.

I've met military mortuary people. They don't make friends of soldiers--on purpose; they don't want to face the task of burying one of their friends. Best to stay detached. Best to not know anyone.

Still, it's not THE hardest job in the Army. That award goes to the Survivor Assistance Officers--the officers and NCOs who are tasked with knocking on doors and delivering the bad news.
