Hey guys,
It has been awhile.
I finished the deployment up in the Golan. It was such a great period. Thank G-d everything was very quiet and we mainly just hung out without having to deal with any action. Boredom is a good sign if you are a solider.
We are now in "imun", a three month period of refresher training. There have been a lot of changes. We have a new officer. He was actually our commander in basic training and has returned now as an officer. He is great but there is definitely an adjustment period. Also, the makeup of the company has now changed. Now each tzevet that finishes training is absorbed into existing tzevets. This means that my group of guys now has five additional arrivals from August. The tzevet has not gelled together at all because we have been together for two years and four months and the new guys don't get the inside jokes or make-up of the personalities in the tzevet. We'll see how things go.
In terms of practical things that are upcoming: I get off a full week when my parents come for Passover and then G-d willing that course Nativ that I have been dreaming of. A month of half of courses on Judaism and Zionism and of course a relaxed atmosphere!
In terms of my mental state, as I mentioned in the last post. Sometimes, I wont lie, it is very hard for me. I am mentally exhausted of the entire army framework and I just dont have the strength to deal with all of the b.s of the army. It isn't easy when your mind has decided that you have finished with the army and the army hasn't finished with you! At the end of the day, I have no regrets and I will do what it takes to finish my service because that is what I demand of myself. I may be tired, but I know why I am here and what I came to do. That is enough to push me along.
Happy Purim!!
