PECKPOST

Yo people just booked out last night and will be booking in tonight. Sucks but too bad. SIT test (or situational test) was really tiring. We had to walk 12 km first with about 20 kg of load to this sandy site near the ocean before it and that was really draining. The SIT test itself is ok (you do simulated missions), but the running in between the stations is a real killer. Basically all they wanna do is make you damn tired so you can't think properly. Then they can separate the pansies (me) from the godlike people. 

Umm for those that haven't taken it knots and lashings are bloody important. If you don't know them you're essentially a sitting duck noob. Like seriously I should know. The last thing you wanna do is to be standing around while your team ties logs. Another thing is hydration. Drink as much water as possible. It's especially true in my company's case because the air was dusty and the terrain was mofo sandy. I definitely was dehydrated on the last day despite drinking a few good litres and I didn't eat lunch and dinner either because I didn't want to shat my pants so my head was whirling back in camp. 

Anyway SIT test is an interesting activity because they are trying to distinguish whether you're good enough to be an officer. A lot of the time you try to look out and see whether people are doing "wayang" so to speak aka suck up and be enthusiastic in an abnormal way. I daresay I saw 1 in my team. I also made a good friend during the test. He's from ACS but he's not the stereotypical outspoken kind. He turned out to be a really nice, perceptive guy and he was just great to talk to. Other highlights include a 6 man powder bath orgy on one groundsheet. And yes I was 1 of the 6. Hahaha that was seriously off the hook. To the average person its just sick but in the circumstances it was hilarious. Everyone was like WTFOMGGHEY. 

Anyway they also interview you and ask you if you want to be an officer. I said I'm not. I know that I'll get pummeled in command school. I just know it. And I dislike the military lifestyle. And I can't make it anyways. The problem is that they tend to push you into command school even if you can't make it fitness-wise and then you get fuked. Bah anyway my sergeants know I'm a noob. 

Aiks back at home I ate KFC + 3 cups of orange juice+ 600 ml of water + oranges. I was just dying of thirst.

Yeah charpeck we haven't spoken for a while. Timezones just don't allow it. You take care ok? And don't let dem fuken econs models and algorithms get you down. I've seen some papers before on JSTOR (damn that beetch bhagwati) and holymolyomg the equations are like 2 pages long just to prove one point. Talk about occams razor. Send you a picture of me soon. 

Yep and I've been trying to follow up on entertainment news. Yes the Xmen movie does have Gambit, as well as Deadpool, Kestrel and Agent Zero. I don't know the last 3 but apparently the guy playing gambit is from Friday Night Lights. Yeah you can find out more here just scroll downwards. 

Yep and check out this nice video of David Archuleta singing Heaven on AI. He's definitely favourite to win because he has the entire star package and hes pretty good looking.
