I figured it might be time for new blog post. Its only been about 3 and a half months since my last one. I just finished Imun Mitkadem. Which means i have received all the required training to considered a combat soldier. I still have 4 more months with the same people and after that we will be split up as people go to courses and such. Honestly I thought the imun was going to be a bit more interesting. It did have some real cool moments for sure but also some frustrating ones.
The most important thing is that i’m moving off of my base that was about 6 and a half hours away to a much much closer base at least for a few months. Also the equipment is going to be a lot better now because its not just some training base.I’m looking forward to these next four months. We will be doing exercises and stuff while also some experience of what its like being an actual combat soldier in the battalion.
I’m hoping to home sometime in August. This week I am going to ask for my vacation so we will see how that goes. I really do miss home. When I think of the people and places that I have waiting for me at home it makes me wonder why I ever left, but sacrifices had to be made in order to do what I wanted to do. In the hard moments mentally and physically I think my family and push through it because i know they are there with me.
Also anybody who reads this should know that i love to get mail. Letters, pictures, drawings whatever it all means more to me than you can imagine.
Love you all and see you all soon!
