I’m deploying on exercise on Friday morning now instead of Saturday night. So I have to pack for that AND for the holiday that I’m going on right after the exercise. I’ll hardly have time to charge my iPod before I get on the plane.

My week long sick chit for this week from the car crash on Friday was a total waste. We’re not even doing any PT. We are playing a big computer game though:

It’s like a LAN party, but with really boring strict people in charge.

stress

Had a stressful week doing pointless things such as getting stuck in mud and getting cold as top cover:

Then today we had mega stress trying to get out of camp. We had to put the vehicles back together. Then we had to get our hung over colleague up and ready to leave. Then we had to sort out the hire cars. Then our hire car got a sticker on the window for parking illegally on camp. Then the guys got in trouble for not cleaning their room before leaving, so they had to go back and clean it… it was like everything was against us leaving.

Then we finally got out of there And after being a bit scared by the chef’s diving, this happened:

There was a crash on the opposite side of the road, so cars on our side were slowing to watch… the cars in front of us slowed right down, so we had to brake pretty fast. The car behind us must not have reacted quickly enough and slammed into the back of us. I was sat in the back left passenger seat, so I got most of the impact >_<

Urgh, FML.

You’d think that after a crash ike that, I’d drive home carefully. Nah. I was so sick of being on the road that I speeded like I’d never speeded before. Racing down the M40 singing along to Jimmy Eat World. Yeah. That’s how I roll.

north sucks

Been stuck up in Catterick since Sunday now. On a course that is utterly pointless. All I’ve learnt is how to stand up on the back of a land rover with no roof and freeze to death.
I was hoping that id get RTU’d (returned to unit) for not having my helmet, but since the course is so poorly managed, no one really cares.

Originally when we got heee, I was going to be in female accomadation, but that was locked. Being the only. Female on course (and the only female on camp, its infantry), I’m just in a single room on the same corridor as the rest of my troop who are here. This means sharing a bathroom. Wouldn’t be so much of a drama, but the showers don’t have curtains/doors.

On the 20th Dec, I will fly to The Philippines ^_^ Can’t wait. It’s only just hit me how soon that is. We on exercise from the 12th to the 18th and we’ll probably be working that Saturday 19th, so I’ll have to pack my bags… when I get back from Catterick next weekend. Actually, we’ll probably be working the day I fly, but I’ll still leave none the less. AWOL FTW. I think the most punishment you can get for one day of AWOL is an AGAI, so it’ll totally be worth it.

I’m going up to Catterick for a wmik crew course. I’m gunner. I hope it doesn’t rain, those things have no roofs. Actually, I hope it doesn’t roll over during cross-country, that’s a sure way to die as top-cover.

Can’t wait for the weekend, this week has been so long, what with the PFT & CFT. It has given me the confidence that I can pass them, but I am a broken person for it. Everything hurts. A lot. I just want to lay in bed all of Saturday and recover.

Cycled to tesco today. Just to see how long it’d take. 15-20mins, around the same time it takes in the car with traffic/parking. It hurt going uphill though, especially on the way back. Shouldn’t of bought that 2ltr bottle of tropical juice >_<
