EOM~!!

After wearing the green uniform for 2 weeks, spending many hours and days in my tank, being muddy and dusty and dirty and messy and sweaty and itchy and pimplely and rashy and tired and sleepy. 3 days in the jungle was a big challenge nowadays, after Civilian Conversion Course, especially the part about bathing - the lack of it. The lack of quality sleep was another, about 6 hours of sleep every day in the jungle, interrupted by people snoring, walking around, rifles dropping, alarms ringing, mosquito bites on the hands, legs, face, ears, mosquitoes buzzing into your ears and nostrils, the thick stench of mosquito coil smoke in the air, mixed with the whiff of pee, and the occasional excrement as well, from the neighbouring grass patches, and the eu de perfume from my own smelly uniform... Glad that it's over, for another year, really glad... It's a blessing to live a peaceful civilian life really~
