I am officially a trained soldier!

This week was a good week, because I was away from work!

Instead I was in another camp learning new things. Picking up vocational skills that would make me a proper/trained STOREMAN. Except of course, I'm only a storeman by vocation, and my appointment I'm actually a clerk!

Here are some of the experiences/things I learnt during the 4-day course:

• There were a few other guys like me who are only storemen in name (when in reality they do all kinds of funny stuff, like me)
• There was also one guy who had all kinds of excuses (excuse heavy load is just one of many) and somehow he's a storeman. He never appeared again after the first day of the course.
• The theory of being a storeman. Then again, it's all theory, and without practice (which will be so in my case) sure will forget everything one. If I do end up as a storeman for real in my reservist life, well, good luck for that!
• Curry food everyday. Well almost. In any case even if the Non-Muslim meal did not have curry, the Muslim meal would ;)

And if I could only bring one thing back from my time at the storeman course back, it's this:

The life in HQ is really much better than out in the units!

Anyway, I am now officially a trained soldier! Well, not in the traditional sense that I've gone through the full BMT, but still at least I am trained in the skills needed to be a storeman :)
