Week 5; They broke my arm....

... well almost :P

There was nothing much going on this week... 2x 5km runs. Aaand the guard service training, where we learned to arrest somebody. I volunteered to play the bad guy several times... So there I was, fighting for my live to get away. And what do you do when the bad guy tries to run away? Yes, you use force ^^

Several bruises on my legs (barrel stabs in the leg) and a hurting arm from the ties they put on me. But hell it was fun :D

Also I'm now educated to use the RSG2000 (Reizstoffsprühgerät 2000), which is basically a very strong pepper spray. Though we didn't get to try the real deal (I also volunteered for that :D). Just some water alcohol mixture...

Aaaah well.

The kitchen in Dübendorf is kinda crappy... We had some meat one day, that was more fat than actual meat...

Other stuff? More ABC and Weapon training... Basic stuff :)

Week 3 & 4: I'm awfully sorry!

Like the title says, I'm sorry, that I didn't have time to write an entry last week. I just have to use every minute of my weekend the best way... damn military ^^

Weeeell...: Week 3: Erm.. There was lots of running... specifically two 5km runs.. And the usual running every time we changed places :P

Also there was a full ABC-Protection march... 5 km in protection-pants, trousers and face mask... I've never sweat so much in my whole live :D

We even went shooting the first time (30 metres distance)! It was great! Even though... well I hit the target but... but... the damn center is very small :D

Week 4: More shooting! We even had a ranking. Place 14 out of 30. Not bad for my first time on the 300 metres range \o/

After the shooting we marched through the streets of Bülach... It's just great how much respect the ppl give you when you're in uniform :D

Whaaaaat else? On wednesday night I had a "special exercise" called IKEA. What's that you ask? Well, we had to take everything out of our room (including the beds, table & chair) and put it outside on our assembly place... Kinda hard, but also kinda fun :D The reason for that? My blanket was not quite alinged to my pillow :S

The last two days we prepared for our move to Dübendorf. That's right, starting next week, we'll be stationed in Dübendorf. Preparing for the move meant packing all our stuff and cleaning the whole barracks. (Including removing every fucking little leaf from our assembly place!)

That's about it. Still no pictures, since I already broke 2 phones in my service (my china phone and my old one...)

Stay tuned for updates :)

Ah yes! If you wanna send me something, wait one more week, till I've actualized my military adress :)

Cheers!

Week 2: Getting the hang of it

Hi guys, just bevore I leave again... This is update #2 (officially seen)

Well what did we have this week?

Sport test: 2x sufficient 1x good (long jump)
Weapon Test: Fulfilled (Taking apart the gun, putting it back together, loading, chaning mags, clearing blockages)
8 KM March: I didn't break down half the way.

Also I had my first night out. We went to the sports bar. The Barkeeper (and seemingly owner of the place) jacky was just great. After some beer I decided to order 3 Jägermeister shots for our table. She brought 4 doubles. After telling her that I only ordered 3, she told me to just drink it and don't pay it. I love sports bar in bülach :D

I wanted to put up 2 pictures... 1 of me with uniform and long hair and one of me with uniform, short hair and gun... but my phone... it's chinaware ^^

I'll get it online as soon as possible.

Note my adress guys :D

Cheers
