I'll still read my e-mail and check my IMs so I can still be contacted but not very quickly. If you've got questions about my MAT Pose Edit proggie, the helpful people here will probably help you.
You can see my new army hair style in the picture. I'll just have to like it for a long time.
I'll miss you people.

My son is in the Army too. He is having a great time in Kuwait, but he could have said that just to keep me from worrying. Be safe! Peggy

My army time was some of the best fun I ever had. They let my blow stuff up, fire $65k anti tank rounds, gave me a green suit annnnnd let me live in Monterey CA. What's not to love? And basic was a blast. CS gas will clear up any cold in a snap.

God Speed. My son enjoyed his time in the army, like Greybro said, they let him blow things up ( yup even the british army does that) , but the downer was he then had to rebuild them. He liked it though. Have fun, come back soon

Good luck to you! And remember one thing: Should they ever ask you to subscribe to a unit called "SARS" - run like hell and hide somewhere they'll never find you! It's about the worst job on the planet. Joerg

Nah... SARS is just the bodydogs. The guys who have to pick up the mess after someone made a mess.

Good luck! Do you have the opportunity to pick up any special training?

Phew! Finally some free time. Thank you people very much for your supporting comments. I think I'm going to sleep the whole weekend, I'm so tired. In the army I get up at 06.00, wash my teeth in 30 seconds, take a shower in 2 minutes, eat my meals in 8 minutes and so on. Always in a hurry but still I have to stand still 1/3 of the day. I'm now very familiar with my new best friend, 7.62 RK 62 (upgraded Kalashnikov AK-47) assault rifle. I've been told it's still the best in the the world though it's a year 62 model. Actually all my equipment is from the sixties (except some clothes from the 80s and 90s). I can take my rifle into pieces in 5 seconds and join the pieces in 15 seconds. I just love my gun. Next Tuesday I'll have to march 25 km with all the battle and camp equipment. In total the weight will be about 50 kg. It will be a doomsday. Only 6 weeks left as a recruit. BTW: One of the most important things in the army are clean socks. Sometimes I feel like I could kill for a pair of socks. I'll be back, Ilari
Joerg Weber posted Fri, 19 July 2002 at 1:09 PM
You guys are using an upgraded AK47? Damn... I always wanted to get my fingers on one of those. I only know the jugoslavian versions. By the way: Do you have free choice of equipment or do you have fixed equipment? If you can choose, get yourself at least one pair of "Opti-Fleece"-Socks. Those things transport the sweat away from your feet and keep your feet dry - It will save you a lot of pain and problems on long marches. Good luck... Joerg
scourge posted Sun, 21 July 2002 at 1:03 PM
Joerg,
Fortunately I can use my own socks. All the other equipment except underwear is the same for all recruits. I change socks about two times a day but that isn't always enough.
Thanks for the tip, socks really are that important here.
