Here is my blog update to express my passion and love for the overly popular (it's deserved) Call of Duty series even though I missed 3 issues of it. I'm totally excited about Modern Warfare 2, due out November 10th and I've been looking at the screenshots all night.

The trailer really moved me in ways I was not prepared for. For the first time I ( Read more... )

This week I have signed an application to a school that would (if I'm accepted) get me a course and job at the airport as a security agent. The people who check your passport and tickets, strip search you, scan your luggage and confiscate your contact lense lotion. Not a desk job, and that's what I want in life.

Whether this works or not I decided I ( Read more... )

An hour ago I woke up from a cool/scary dream where I was hunting down terrorists in a big building, it went on and on until the "end" where I realized it was just a game I was playing with my brother. Still scary though! So here's an old sketch I "inked" with my Wacom, just because I can!

Stumbled upon this as I was working on a fanfic.

Military Field Manual (best of)

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

Don't look conspicuous: it draws fire.

Don't draw fire, it irritates the people around you.

The easy way is always mined.

Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

Professionals are predictable ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the Normandy trip! A fine day to check out that beautiful side of the country, not a cloud in the sky. Between Paris and Caen there's something like 300 km and along the north-west coast the air is breathable, not like in over-crowded Paris and its suburbs. All in all an interesting and freshing little trip through history and ( Read more... )

Done with chores, so I got bored and picked up the guitar. I felt like playing the song of the TV series "Over There", and the chords I figured out are: G, Em, D, C (chorus x2),  D, C, D, C (bridge) repeat.

The day is comin',The drums are drummin',If you know one, say a prayer.There's mothers cryin',And fathers sighin', a-huh,War is in the air.The ( Read more... )

Working out for the army selection tests has made me become a better metal-guitar player... Heh.

The Montléry military base is that of the 121st regiment of "train", specialized in transportation of goods, military supplies and weapons to different outposts and bases in and out of France. They had opened their gates to civilians today, demonstrating their activities and stuff...

Trucks, and other vehicles

Which I have been doing for 2 days now, and I'm saying really thinking, measuring pro's and con's of an eventual military carreer. I took an appointment to the information and recrutement center on Friday morning, so we'll see then. I have lots of questions to ask and I'm aware I need to get back in physical shape before the "trials" and selections ( Read more... )

...And spoke with a Marine corp staff sergeant. It was cool and interesting to share views about the French troops' job around the world. I told him that I had wanted to sign in for some time now, and with my degree in languages I hoped I could contribute in, let's say, national security :D He told me I could look into civilian jobs for the ( Read more... )
