Trainingness was lots of fun. I learnt to navigate, fire strip and clean an f88 (assault rifle) and f89 (light 'machine gun'), bayonet training, grenade launcher attatchment and several other things that I can'r quite remember right now.

I went without beer, coke, chocolate, pizza, coke, hamburgers, coke, music and decent coffee for two months so the first of all of those have been really, really bloody good ;)

WHAT???

What can I say. I had to live of instant. It was rough, cyan, it was rough. There were times when I really didn't think I'd make it. A kid named steve actually died. But we pulled together and overcame and I think I'm a better man because of it.

And this next latte is for you, steve. *tips hat*

Nah, the asthma thing was okay. They got all the paperwork and whatnot and all was good.

It really was alot of fun. Sure, the waking up at 6am and having to shave, make beds, and get ready in 15 minutes sucked a fair bit but for the most part it was really good. Not at all like full metal jacket. We had a surprising amount of spare time because the schedule was fairly laid back compared to what I was expecting. We only spent two days out field away from barracks, it would have been nice to spend a few more days outside but that's not too bad.

A significant proportion of it was lessons. We'd have pt in the morning for two or so hours and then theory lessons until about 9pm most days. Most of it was very basic stuff. The navigation exercises were fun though. We spent the afternoon and part of the night wandering around with map and compass finding places.

We have a week at rmc for warfighting 0, then a week back at majura to put it into practice, then a week back at rmc, then a week away, then a week at rmc then easter break.

Mmmm. Easter break... :P

It is Saturday. Yeah!

I'm bored. I mean, I know what I should do, but I can't be bothered to do it.

I should go visit my granddad, but it is so cold and wet outside I don't want to leave the house again (I already had to do some shopping earlier, and that was quite enough. I saw snowdrops, though.)

I give up. Too tired to concentrate. I know the answers, but keep ticking the wrong ones.

I think I'm off to bed. My head feels like it's stuffed with cotton wool, and seeing how little I've done today, I really shouldn't waste any more time.
OK, not really today, I've actually been busy practising today, but did almost nothing yesterday. Midnight is so confusing.

Maen mint.

Running ahead of schedule. I have all the crap I'm taking back to duntroon in the car already (my tetris skills came in handy fitting that much stuff into a very small car.) and am going to hang around for lunch before I bugger off again.

G'maen Mint.

Dim sum with brother this morning.  Should clean workroom today too.
