So this is it.


Dear Viewers and Followers,

As you might know, i've been away for about a month, finishing up my basic military qualifications in Edmonton. I can not be any happier completing this course, i believe there was about 50 people that started out on this course and only 38 of them made it through till the very end. The numbers might scare you, however we all knew they were gonna make it through, half of them were lazy shitpumps or they just were medically fit for the job. The first week was one of the most cock that i've ever got, it seems that everytime i train, i'm not mentally prepared for it. I'm not gonna lie, i wasn't. I hated life there, but what got me through the course was the people who were all there to help each other out. I had to say during the last week, the exercise that we went on was pretty intense. It consisted of 7days in the field, which basically means that we were sleeping in shitting tents, something that we called "hootches" that went up to my knee. So all you could really do was throw your sleeping back down and slip in it, with bare minimum head space. That one night where we were digging trenches was one of the shittiest day of my life. I believe we were digging from 12 midnight till 6 in the morning, and then after breakfast we had to finish the digging. That night was fucking cold as fuck, and it was really wet, people were hallucinating from little to no sleep. Man... one of the hardest things i've gone through. The rest of the exercise was pretty good, even though we ran on very little sleep, i'm glad i made it through. This proves to me that i can overcome hardships at the roughest times.

Honestly, i feel like i can accomplish anything in the world right now. Now that i'm back home, i feel completely lost in my own world. The exercise that we went on was so realistic, grenades and artillery simulators going off and people firing their weapons with blank rounds. Everything is still replaying in my head. I think i might join the reg force, and maybe go to Afghanistan. They tell me that the young one's are the most eager to go serve overseas, a form of patriotism and pride, i'd say. As for now, i'm back to reality. Time to adapt.
