give me back my point of view.

well no i aint dead yet, just probably totally dead tired like everyone else considering the amount of time we had to sleep over the past 3 weeks. the last week of section field camp we were averaging around 3-4 hrs of rest a day after one whole long day of drills and lessons in dirty, muddy, sticky and rain soaked uniforms, which gave a good majority of us heat rashes and abrasions. section field camp was really rather eventful i suppose, fun at times when you're on missions patrolling and trying to spot the enemy's ambush and then flank them or smth. but the planning phase before each mission can totally drive you nuts. it took our entire 4 hrs of rest in between missions that we were supposed to be entitled with. so we ended up going through 3 days of missions back to back with ard an hr of rest max.

anyway, we had our platoon attack field camp this week. which it rained every single day we were outfield yet again, and the fatigue and exhaustion just kept piling and escalating. haha it was quite funny to see people just stumbling and collasping while standing up for no reason cause they had just dozed off in the moment. oh and apparently i received some positive OR(observatory report) for being positive and cheerful throughout the entire 10 days of section field camp and having lead the section well when i was IC for the morning patrol. haha why would anyone want a merit point in ocs, it really amounts to nothing. they dont even give u stickers for like having like 3 merit points or smth. oh well. and he managed to convince me to change my EI from artillery to infantry. haha like wth i woke up the next day feeling like i just stupidly signed up with some financial plan or smth. i basically sealed my fate and closed all doors out of all these jungle and physical training, and opened my arms to embrace the thailand and brunei jungles as well.

oh and i finally bought a new amp on my last book out. Marshall MG15MSII Zakk Microstack, which totally looks awesome in my room. quite costly though, especially without any discount at $420. well i was just too desperate and tempted.

feels like forever since i last went for service, 3 weeks if im not wrong.

remember to breathe.

When Roosevelt was president of the US, he went on a hunting safari in Africa. On his return to the US, a missionary who was retiring after forty years of service in a remote jungle village was travelling on the same ship. When the ship docked, cheering crowds greeted the president, but not a single person was there to welcome the returning missionary. Momentarily the man of God was filled with self-pity. He thought, "When a president comes home after a short hunting trip, hundreds come out to greet him. But, Lord, when one of Your missionaries comes home after a lifetime of service, no one is there to meet him." Immediately it as if the Lord whispered, "But My son, you are not home yet." - Our Daily Bread
