falcon warriors marching in now

it's been nine weeks already huh? man time really flies..it's like march already man..the last time i sat here doing this, it was still january. amazing. ha ok actually i did have time to fill this up over the course of my BMT(basic military training) but you have to understand that bookout time is precious and should not be wasted in front of the com.ha.

well i'm on block leave now so i kinda decided to do this for fun since i have some time to burn.

well life in army wasn't as bad as i expected..the food was surprisingly good(and unhealthy..you should see how much oil there is in everything) except for the breakfast which was mainly overly oiled noodles or crappy stuff. so i usually eat damn little for breakfast and whack all the food in lunch and dinner.

a normal day starts at 5.30am(yes it's absurd i know) and by 5.45am we have to fall in downstairs for breakfast. i usually wake up at like 5.40am and just rush down. and you know there will be people who would still be later than me?! spastic man. i don't know what they do that's more important than falling in on time. speaking of spastic..i tell you the army has really opened my eyes..sheesh some people can be really stupid and like have no common sense at all..i mean like they cant even follow simple instructions and they'll ask you over and over and over again to repeat the instructions.

anyway i shan't dwell on these people i'm just glad i'll prolly not see them anymore. you know how they always say you make damn good friends in army? well i'm quite disappointed cos i didnt really like many of the people there..i guess like maybe it's cos i already have such great friends that these army friends will never be able to take their place.ha.

well let's see what have i done in the army that may interest you..well we shot live rounds from the m16 which is prolly so old my dad used the same gun. we threw real grenades(the sheer impact and noise was awesome). we had a five day outfield camp where we didn't bathe at all and had camouflage cream on our face and neck and hands the whole time. we had this thing called situational test(sitest) to see if you've got what it takes to be a commander or some rubbish. leme see what else...OOOHH yes road marches!!! i hate them. sucky shit. marching around in full battle order really destroys your back. full battle order consists of the LBV(load bearing vest), filed pack, helmet, rifle and full uniform(long four) i estimate that the total weight of all that is about 15kg. sounds alright but try wearing that for 24km! ha i'm sooooo bloody glad it's over.

hmm i'm kinda bored talking about army cos this is like the 100th time i'm saying this cos everytime i meet my friends who arent in the army yet or are girls i'll tell them this and so ya..i'm tired of saying it already.

so lets just put some music and pics on board ya..they speak a thousand words for me.
