last week was rough. i was out of the base.
spent 4 days is the middle of a deserted field. sleeping in a tiny tent with this other girl. waking up in the middle of the cold dark night to guard the campsite for 2 fuckin hours, keeping an eye out for wild foxes that wanna come eat me.
no showers. no good food, i just ate bread all week. no changing clothes. i didnt even take off my boots, not even when i slept.
the nights were absolutely horrible.
but the days were alright. i did alot of exercises with all sorts of guns. i shot off 2 kinds of automatic weapons. i press the trigger and the gun just spits out like 10 bullets every 2 seconds. i also did an exercise where i ran up a hill while firing my m16 at a target at the top. one time i put mud on my face and gun, grass and plants in my helmet and hid in the bushes at night, crawling up a hill trying not to be seen. and it fuckin hurt, there were thorns everywhere.
thats about it. i cant decide whether it was a good week or not. i was very weak because of not eating. i was tired because of guard duty in the middle of the night. i was sore because of the heavy weight always on my back. i did a 4 km jog with 6 litres of water on my back... i could not feel my legs!
rough rough week
