Quick update guys!
Again, let me tell you I'm so lucky I'm in the tech division! We have it a lot easier than the rest! Hey, I think there I've seen a movie once that had something similar: A division in the army where they were all sitting and having fun slacking around until an inspection or something happened and they had to stand up as soldiers.. Beers for finding that one!
Still, we work our asses off doing guard and patrol duties as there are so few of us to cover the needs of the camp. Not bad for me, but my feet are killing me (standing is actually worse for me in those army boots than walking around so I prefer to do patrol).
Started doing combat exercises too, crawling around all places, tactical stuff and such. Gone around the combat track a few times, you know, the one where you rush through the tires, crawl underneath the barb wire.
Good thing is I got lined up for a desk job at an office (location, location, location) so I miss part of the training too and instead work on "go-fetch" activities. Shooting in the range was a charm, got 2 days honorary leave cause I set an example of having a good firing rhythm (breath in, hold, aim, shoot) and was lucky to have the commander noticing me.
The office job has it's benefits too, I've gotten in good terms with most of the lieutenants (they're 25-year olds and 3 of them are girls too) and they invited me to join them in a concert yesterday! Tell you what, my platoon leader looks fantastic in a civilian outfit! Couldn't hold my jaw in place!
All in all, it's a great time thus far! I'm so glad it pays off to be dependable and always willing to do some work. Though I know it won't be that easy when I get send to the border, I indulge in the good state I'm in for now.
And for a pic: That's me with the boys and their GFs while they were visiting on week one!
