Curious about the reality of serving

Hello, i was planning on enlisting for the Electronics engineer role in the Navy but wanted to know what previous experiences were.

For anyone who has served and is comfortable sharing:
– What was your experience like when it came to situations involving the use of force?
– How did training prepare you?
– How did those experiences affect you afterward?

Specifically I just wanted to know whether members have faced circumstances where they directly combat and whether it happens a lot. I've seen in other posts that the media exagerates the amount of combat we engage in but i still think there are times soldiers put their lives on the line while serving but i cant seem to find exact numbers on this matter.
