Just realised that I neglected to mention here a rather important fact in my life.
I've been mobilised and am going to Afganistan in October.
My reasons for going are diverse and multiple. Among are:
1. I have no dependants and still have my youth, I'm the prime candidate to go off doing dangerous stuff. This releives pressure from the Husbands and Dads amongst the army.
2. I consider myself pretty sensible. I would rather that my nation's reputation be represented abroad by pretty sensible people. A compound action must be moral, if each of it's component actions is moral. I consider myself capable of maintaining my moral standards under pressure. Thus the campeign in Afghanistan will benefit from my presence.
Details of my day to day life in training and on operations can be found at threejs.livejournal.com .
People who I don't manage to see face to face before I leave, I look forward to seeing y'all on my return in May.
