But here I am, post graduation, and post surgery, unable to work as a digger at the moment, so the life of a bartender calls instead.

And thats admirable.. in fact, I would say, units should look at your dedication and commitment, and see that could be harnessed in other ways... which perhaps don't need so much physicality (I take it the post surgery has dampered your digging) Certainly hope that archaeology keeps people like you.
