Week 7: Soldier

(gotta have do make this a quick one, almost no time till I have to leave)

Week 7 was okay. We had the 25 km March. It wasn't really a problem at all. I think our group had like 5 hours to complete it (or was it 6 not sure)

On Wednesday I got promoted to Soldier (note the adress change :P) And after Monday, I'll be stationed at the Under Officer school in Dübendorf. Ah well.

Also on friday, we had our final inspection... That meant getting up at 5:30, being ready at 6 and standing without movement until 8... And yes, it was cold! Rest of the day they checked if we still knew what we learned the last 7 weeks.

Final Grade for the Company: 3.3/5

Fine by me.

Okay, Cheers guys, I gotta run :)

Week 6: They got me & I rule!

Well well, week 6.

Monday: 15 km march. We didn't have to bring as much in our backpack as on the 8 km march, so no sweat :) It was no problem.

On the same day, we had a company inspection. Grade: Good. Fine by me :P

Company inspections means: all 100 guys stand in a perfectly straight line, don't move for half an hour (and yes, there was snow and yes, it was cold) and get looked at by the captain...

What else? CPR training (I got a blister on my hand from that -.-), San-Test (which I did not pass by a few points), another sport test (2x good, 3x average) and the shooting competition.

I got the shooting award \o/ I shot 76 out of 85 points (72 are needed for the award) quite happy about that :D

Now the bad news.

On Tuesday, I had my second talk with the captain.... And despite my tries to convice him otherwise, he thinks the swiss army needs my services a little longer. Next week they'll move me to the under-officer school. In August, when my service will end (yes, 17 weeks more than planned...) I'll be seargent... Too bad they can force you to do that... meh..

Well, more next week, I hope you enjoyed the pictures below :)
