Seasons we Serve

963600 minutes
963000 moments so dear
963600 minutes
How do you measure, measure two years

In book-ins, in bookouts
In nights-outs, in cookhouse surveys
In meters, in clicks, in turnouts at night
In 963600 minutes
How do you measure, two years of your life?

Why must we, serve?
Why must we, serve?
Why must we, serve?
Why must we serve…

Lan lan must serve~
Lan lan must serve~

963600 minutes
963000 moments so sian
963600 minutes
How do you measure the life of commanders or of men?

In extras he signed
Or in shellscrapes he slept
In weekends confined
Or the times that he wept

Its time now to book out
Though the fucking never ends
Till we ORD
Remember that we’re just an NSF!

I don’t want to serve~
(Oh I don’t want, I don’t want I don’t want to serve~)
Don’t want to serve~
(You know that two years we all must serve~)
Don’t want to serve~
(Can serve, must serve, lan lan must serve~)
Don’t wanna serve~
(Measure, measure the time you served)

Seasons we served~
Seasons we served~
(Measure the life, measure the life you served)

Rainbows in Airdrops

Sometimes, in tough and tiring times, all you need is a reminder from God that all is fine.

It's not the face that launched a thousand ships, and I don't know how our armies compare with others, but stopping commandos (albeit female ones), an NDU sergeant, and a bunch of us riggers while derigging our CDS to just stare up has to have some power in itself. It's the same feeling that Noah got when he finally reached ashore - that all is still good in the world and things are as they should be.

Jason pointed at one end of it and said there's a pot of gold there. Maybe someone airdropped it there.

soap bar FML

I went to Beach Road to get a soap box because my field pack inspection needed one and no one I knew in close vicinity had one to spare FML

Thoughts on ACR

G Camp seems like a pretty nice place to be, sans the distance from camp to bunk. The bugger comes more from the complete lack of any combat pay (though I suppose I can't deny the perks that come with a lack of combat pay) but hopefully overseas missions (well, one in particular) can make up for it decently.

At this point I guess this should serve well for any future Riggers who look online (coz all of us did thinking wtf the course was and trying to get info on it)

TO ALL FUTURE AERIAL CARGO RIGGERS: THIS IS A STAY-IN CAMP. SUCK THUMB KTHX.

Hopefully this blogpost ends up useful to some aerial cargo rigger in the future wondering wtf the camp is about. At least he won't be wtf about one thing at least. >_>

Hopefully S Camp is better. >_>

POP

And it's motherfucking POP at last

and I would write something meaningful like all the shit I learnt and felt and thought while in BMT

but I'm too fucking tired after walking 24 clicks in the dark

so fuck that
