Also, I think this has been the longest hiatus I've had in a while. Moving on.
Finally done with OCS. Like, fur realzies. Entering 9 months ago feels like a dream to me now. I get shivers and spasms and want to scream "DON'T DO IT". Just kidding. (I think). Busybee me has spent the last 3 weeks before commissioning rotting away once again in SAFTI. Someone needs to get the WOSPEC mess proper handphone coverage, because 95% of the time the signal was pretty SHIT. You can only imagine my pain when I turn on my data only to see my phone display drop from 4G to 3G to H+ to H to finally... a G. I'd rather have a G-string thank you very much. That's an inappropriate joke but I'm just gonna leave it here. BECAUSE I CAN.
Also MSD if you're reading this just text me quietly to remove the joke and I will. (That's the Military Security Department if anyone's wondering). ON TO POSTINGS!
So from today (actually last Saturday) I am now officially the Artillery Institute Mortar Instructor for the rest of my NS liability. Yay...? I'm still kinda conflicted on how to feel about it. From the start I've always hoped to be in a command position, not instructional. I had (have) so little faith in my current batch of upperstudies that I told myself I wouldn't want to join them. Well here the fuck I am. I think this is what they call sweet poetic justice. Oh well at least I apparently have a good life as a mortar instructor yknow. Mostly stay out, no need go overseas, plus Khatib is so close to my house. I'm planning to cycle to Khatib every other day if I can. I'd like to give a special shout out this time to Leonard my 2nd fish (the joke only works with 2) and Wen Jie who I'm proud to say stopped being a callous bastard and grew into a much more charming callous motherfucker, God bless his soul. The 2 people who accompanied me to Khatib as part of Platoon 3 Section 2. Special mention also to BARNY MY VERY OWN MINI-DINO who is the only one retarded enough to follow me on my self-assigned Urban Ops missions to clear our bunk areas. YES.
That's about it. I hope Comms Ball this week goes fine please please please I'd like to feel really happy again.
Good Night
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound,
I was lost til I heard the drums and I found my way
