Had a nice Saturday wondering aimlessly around London. That, and buying random shit that I probably don’t need have become my favorite things to do on short weekends. Followed closely by downloading movies & PSP games.
I’m off for a week. Ranges. New weapons. Will probably shoot myself in the foot.
It’s bloody far away. 3hr drive. Glad I downloaded some more games for the PSPgo.
Listening to: Sliimy – Wake Up
A friend of mine showed me this youtube channel: soldier come dancing. Squaddies can’t dance 
The first video is by 1st Battalion REME. I was out in Canada with this lot:
And 1 Mercian, whose video is by far the best:
Just got back from a bit of virtual training.
Wasn’t as fun as I had expected. Sounded fun at first. A big video game/simulator. But the army somehow made it boring. It made Goldeneye 007 look like Crysis 2. Bad times.
Watching: Jamie’s American Road Trip
Turns out that a real P226 is way more fun than a cheap airsoft one ^_^ And strangely, easier to use.
I’m away again until Friday, playing a big video game made boring by the army.
last time I packed a giant black deployment holdall because I thought I’d be out there all week. Now I know I’ll only be there until Friday afternoon, so I’ve squeezed everything into my maxpedition condor II with my sleeping bag attached to the bottom 
The phone signal there is rubbish so there’s no point in me taking my laptop. Will just have to try get online on my phone

Listening to: M.I.A – Paper Planes
One of the many great things about being in the army is the not knowing.
Take today for instance, I’ve been told that I’m going away for a week on “exercise”. But it’s not a proper exercise. It’s indoors. On computers or summat. I don’t know where it is, where we’ll be staying or how long exactly for. We may or may not be coming back tomorrow night and then going back again. I don’t know what to bring or what to bring it in. I don’t even know if I’ll be on a bed or if I should take a roll matt.
No one knows. I got all of that ^ info from asking other people, who each have small snippets of info, but are also pretty much clueless.
Will we have access to mains? How will I charge my phone? Do I need to bring an AA charger?
I have total OCD when it comes to packing bags, so this is doing my head in. I’ve gotten showered and changed 3hrs early.
Listening to: Avril Lavigne – Mobile
