	Back from the army. Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

As some of you may have noticed, I am back from the army.

That's it, a month's basic training, and Rifle school are over. No more sleep deprivation. No more humiliation from people your age. Private Azazel is out of the army, FOR GOOD. ( yeah, right )


Basically, it was fun, it was short, and we had only a little exprience with firearms. Our squad commanders were guys and girls around our age. Some would say that this was a great preparation for married life, being bossed all the time like that by a woman your age. My personal commander, though, was a guy, approximately my age. Our squad was his first round of recruits, but since we were good 'kids', and were all in the process of getting a college degree, he didn't have too many disciplinary issues with us.

Overall, this basic training was piece of cake. Besides us, destined to be professional staff, officers, on that base were 7 other recruit companies, that were either girls or troublemaking kids, destined to have a rather boring time in the army.


The fun parts were the infinicimal number of shooting ranges we did, and the zero walking distance we passed. It wasn't a real challenge.

The base itself is located rather close to the Gaza strip. I could see Gaza in the horison.

That's about it. Please ask whatever questions you want. ( Yes, I mean you, Siro, you little annoying POS. )

Did you have a week in the field?

You had no long walking trips?

no, and no.

we only had a DAY in the field ( "due to the proximity to gaza" ), and the walking trip was a rediculous walk around the base, some 3 km or so.

There is no way I am missing officer school. There is no way I am settling for these fake "academical" ranks.

Actually real soldiers go with full gear some 90km. Most of it running, and some of it carrying people on strechers.

what's the purpose of this 1 month training?
I mean.. you are actually priviliged in that you only have 1 month of training, just because you were going to have a degree. why not abolish it and stop spending the tax-payer's money!

Erm, it's a basic rookie training. It is supposed to teach discipline, basic weapon handling and fittness. It also includes basic courses on war ethics and army strucutre.

Even though Azazel will be a non-grunt officer, he may eventually find himself on the battle-field if a huge war ensues.

Same thing with myself.

Sounds like you had good times Azazel, congrats on going through basic training!

You know, when your kids go to basic training... and maybe do a TACTICAL march, they might have to confront with ... SUSIE Q!!!! Or my latest developings, The Black Betty, which undoubtelty I'll get back with all of you later. Anyway, congrats and keep having good times.

In related news, the IDF is preparing to make big changes, such as abolish military conscription to the whole country, and to make those conscripted recieve a minimum wage. Those will be much better trained. All the rest will go and do civil service, such as work at hospitals etc.

I'm hijacking this thread for the purposes of the atuda candidates.

Some people are already getting the army letters... And for some people the technion site says that the army cancelled their candidacy. For me it still says nothing.
