Is there someone behind me??

I'm fine, 11 hours of sleep was quite luxury

One of the weekend vacations...

My group was lucky, since it seems that we were the only ones who got the vacation this weekend

How common are those weekend vacations?

How many weekends do you get off in a year, Kipi?

Oops, Ravager beat me to it

[QUOTE=Ravager]How common are those weekend vacations?[/QUOTE]
Well, during basic training (8 weeks) we have 2-3 weekends. After what, if I get where I want, during next 5 weeks about 1 or 2, after that it's hard to say. I could estimate about 10-25 weekends of 52...
It's so dependable on where I got ordered and other factors...

Kipi's here! I'm glad I slacked off and got online during my breakfast!

No, I'm not here, you are just seeing a ghost of mine

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 7:09 am

Finnish ghosts?

Oh...I have to get going. See you later Kip.
I wish you continued luck in the military if I don't see you again before your vacation is over.

I should be, woke up late and now I'm having breakfast.

[QUOTE=Kipi]No, I'm not here, you are just seeing a ghost of mine [/QUOTE]

Well that's no good. I can offer ghosts drinks.

Sleeping... mostly...
12 days with 16 hours of activity, and most of it is quite physical, so no wonder I'm so damn tired

Cya Rav!!

I'm sure it's good for you but frankly it sounds horrible

[QUOTE=Fiona]I'm sure it's good for you but frankly it sounds horrible

[/QUOTE]
Yep...
Especially when most of the activity is outside, and the temp is about -20 degrees and wind blows about 15-25 meters/second... :speech: :speech:

Oh, and that reminds me...
I read some newspapers today from this week. One article told that schools has been closed in some countries when temp got to -20... And here -20 means that soldiers are barelly allowed to use hat while eating outside...

What you hoping to get into after basic training?

To get naval's lower-officer training (sorry, don't know the correct transaltion to it

). That means 5 weeks in small island, leaving underground in huge millitary complex...

Oh, you're in the navy? I didn't realise. Did you choose that, or do they just tell you?

I can see where living underground might seem attractive if they make you stay outside in those temperatures for weeks
