Week 29 in the army ||

Pretty much, we are having exams this week with tests on tuesday and wednesday and probably thursday(i think)

-------------
--Monday--
-------------

Today, we had a whole day to learn about the VRC (vehicle radio configuration) 800 and 900 series, basically, they are just the manpack 801 series toss into a frame and mount on a vehicle.

We also have some lessons on how to use the portable phone.

--------------
--Tuesday--
--------------

One day after we learn about signal set and we have our test already, isnt that awesome?

Never the less, it's SAF standard which means that the exam are so easy, i was basically guessing my way through and i can say confidently that i will pass

We also have to set up the PRC(portable radio configuration) set and the VRC set.

After that, it was just waiting for dinner to arrive before returning back to bunk.

------------------
--Wednesday---
------------------

Today we have a lesson on how to talk through the radio, what are the procedures, the codewords to be used.
We also have some lesson on a new type of tools that we will be using if we are oversea.

---------------
--Thursday--
---------------

And as usual, we have our test on that, so in the morning, we were tested on how to communicate with one another over signal and in the afternoon, we had to give a presentation on some form procedures.

-----------
--Friday--
-----------

Today is pretty much a slacking day, just a mid-term dialog and some briefing thing. Also, it was today that reminds us that we are in the army and not in a school, after all, what's the point of raising questions if you are going to answer PAP-style? By beating around the bush and not giving a straight answer? WOW, isnt that a brilliant way of answering someone by answering them with a question...

Fk... and we are supposed to be the "smart" one, how can we be that if just because something works, we just stick with it instead of questioning, can it be done in a better way?

Also, finally the army has realized that the NDS has something called a R4 (yes, they know it as that, so to those who know the proper term, Flash cart, bear with it..). So, apparently, hyprocrite fags aka the military police/prowler are going over, so for the time being, we are to bring our legit games instead.

Looks like my old megaman starforce 2 might get to see the light?

--Saturday--

Went out to collect my participation kit for the Safari Run 2011 @ Velocity. After that, i went to another shopping center(the one that i was at, i dont think it has a super market since it's more catered to the health nuts and the rich people... a supermarket would seem out of place, but i didnt bothered to explore the place fully).

I was at the other shopping center when i decided to just go into a game shop to look for radiant historia (ya... i forgotten that the game would be released in feb and not jan..) when i saw Etrian Odyssey 2 on sale for 20 bucks.

So, ya, i will be bring that game to camp, so see ya, my acekard for the time being

I'm glad you're doing great, Sir. So far in the Navy, it has been busy. I have been on my feet mostly all day when I come to work, mostly making sure the patients are getting taken care of. EKG's, ear irrigations, and you know keeping my job. At least I get to see some good movies in the MWR. Like Entrapment and The Last Samurai.

Sadly, I didn't like Scott vs. The World...beyond confusing.
 
phew, just finished watching Ultraman 2009 movie (Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy) :) and now, i am going to jump into Kamen Rider ooo :)

Well personally, I can go out on the weekends and get to go inside Museums for free in the DC area. Go inside the pentagon for free since I do work in the military. Right now since money is tight; I have been giving money to my family to help them out as much as possible. I can only go to the MWR, watch a few movies (Although, I can only see about 2 to 3 movies depending on the length of the films) or play a few video games they have on display (I don't really play games any more unless I'm with company).

I can do a lot of things, it just the money issue comes to mind. I'm glad you're doing a great thing of supporting your nation. The opportunity you took is not only the best one, you will never forget the experience that you had to endure. Good Luck in the military.
