Death from above!
Rah! So, it seems like I'll finally get my chance: the week at Lebach paratrooper base rocked more than anything I did so far while serving!
Went out shooting 3 times, slept out in the country 3 nights, had day and night reconnaissance training and got to use nightvision and infrared goggles for the first time (ROCK-ING!!!), got totally soaked the entire time spent outside - it rained from the moment we left the base until we re-entered it, heh - and generally had the most fun time ever since joining the army. And all of that in only 5 days down there!!
My superiours down there were "impressed that a guy from the radio operator troop is able to move that silenty out in the woods" (heh, I clearly own!) and clearly I'll do anything to get there.
Back down to Earth: two weeks of shift-work ahead. From 100 to 0 in 2 seconds. Incredible. At least my notebook is supposed to finally arrive within the week, plus I got myself the new Marylin Manson album, which rocks big time. (I confess I downloaded some of the tracks, but they only made me buy the album...)
Back to you on Tuesday. Heads up and keep on rolling.
