a brief midnight update

What could i possibly have to say at midnight that can't wait a second longer? (though, amusingly it's now 12:12, so therefore i waited several seconds longer...)

Well  i can't wait any longer because this is the last time, for a long time that i'll have a computer. The reason for this.....

I got into Caracal. :D :D

"But Louise,  What is Caracal?"
Caracal: a male-female combined infantry combat unit. With 4 months of 05 basic training (consider that Michve was a ridiculous 02, and the top units are 07. Though of course being Israel they only have: 02,03,05 & 07--or something like that). So 4 months of that, then 2 months advanced 07 training.
The Important thing though, is that from Caracal i can do the Gibbush (the test) to do Oketz. My end goal.

Tomorrow i go back the Tel Hashomer, the place where everything started, like day one. I change my uniform for the male uniform (the cool one with pockets-yep i'm super excited just for that), get new boots, apparently get another few injections; of what I've absolutely no idea. Then i'm off to the base.

Sadly at this time, the base is down south. Which seems a bit silly to me. It means that our basic training is going to be broken up (hopefully not...but i assume it will) with code red sirens. I suppose it'll add to our running!

I am extremely excited, but let's face it, a little nervous. As far as i know, i'm the only one from Michve (unless their are some guys...but i doubt it) going. That means, i'm probably the only one who struggles with hebrew. And as i said before, Israelies speed exceedingly quickly. I guess i'll be learning even more hebrew very very soon.

Looks like i'll be on base until dec 7 (on the phone they just said bring at least 2 weeks worth of clothing). So, until then.....

wish me luck!

Your, now combat, Louise
