Well I'm here in the officers' school, accessing the web.
The entire officer's school is drafted for the disengagement mission, and that includes me as well.
We were supposed to leave for Gaza yesterday, but we keep getting delayed for various reasons. Several platoons have already left, and are in camps there. Things are tense.
We have been alerted several times already and all our stuff are packed and waiting near the buses. Taking them next to the buses and then back to our living place is annoying! We have lots of heavy stuff, and udnerwear for a month is quite alot of wait!
Anyways, what am I expected to do?
I don't know yet.
There are several options:
1) just wait in the camp.
2) guard the gaza strip borders from jewish infiltrators who will try to enter it and disrupt the evacuation
3) actively go from house to house and remove people (by force if necessary)
4) help people who are willing to leave to pack and carry their stuff
option 3 is the hardest (mentally and physically) and we have been preparing mostly for it, even though chances are, most of the bussiness will be left to special better trained units.
anyways, i will attempt to tell you what's up through Az (whose calls i've been politely ignoring in the last week).
I hope you won't get to see my face on TV  
I'm the pale one with the large nose and green beret
please don't get into politics in this thread. I want to dedicate it to "field reporting" (even though it is not exactly kosher by army standards).
I will be talking to you through Az as soon as I get the word to move.
missing all of you guys
cadet siro.

OK, here's what you do. Take your icon, make a larger version that can be displayed on a notebook full screen. When you come to the door, as you ask the occupants to please vacate their premises, you show them the icon. The hardcore ones, who would be most likely to refuse to leave will also be the most likely to be offended by your little Betty- Boopsie. When they lunge at the offending picture you step back. You let them chase you into your Hummer, or whatever type of vehicle you guys drive, then you jump out the other side as your buddies close the doors. Then you rap twice on the hood and the driver takes off for the resettlement area.

Does Gaza get a sea breeze at this time of year, because I would have to think Sharon was not too bright picking the hottest time of summer to evacuate the settlements. No less, best of luck with everything during the 'grace period' and after it.

Just great.
Not that I was dying to go to Gaza but the entire brigade left, and only our company is left to guard the base. Why? Because our company commander is ill and is on home leave, so they prefered us to stay for guard duty.
This thread should be renamed to "siro won't go to disengage".
That's how it looks like, unless for some reason our last standing company (my company) will also be called in.
From what I saw on TV, the evacuation is going ok and is quite efficient and fast. I bet 99% will be over by the half of next week, if not tommorrow.
On a brighter note - a good chance for home leave this friday saturday, since we're not disengaging or anything.
I'm just annoyed cause we were told we're about to leave 'in hours time' 5 times already, and we went down with all our bags packed and each time it was aborted. now we're the only company left. :/
Speaking of laundry - soldiers usually don't do laundry, but take enough until their closest home leave, which in the IDF is usually between 2 and 4 weeks.
Anyways, we were told to prepare to spend 6 weeks in a worst case scenario, so I have a HUGE bag. And no, I don't intend to do laundry in the public bathroom.
