However, I won't be able to be in the infantry for too long due to the ..... it causes to people's bodies over time. Knees, ankles and backs seem to develop problems after about five years.

You think your job is dirty? You should try a day at mine. My summer job, until I go back to school, is shoveling the ..... out of horse and pig stalls and collecting cow pies from the fields to make fertilizer.
