Guest Posted June 23, 2002 ... but don't open the champagne bottles yet, because I'll be back! I am leaving tomorrow for a two day mandatory "repövning" - military excersise. I got my orders the other day. Apparently they expect me to lead three platoons (~150 men) in the field. So if you hear in the news about Sweden invading Norway, it is just probably just me getting my boys lost. After that, I'm off to the Roskilde festival on thursday. I'll be back some time monday or tusday the week after. Currently things are looking a bit bleak since it is raining heavily here, but I'm hoping for better weather. Otherwise it will be going from one field of mud to another While I'm gone, don't do anything that I would do. Perhaps I'll bring my camera on the excersise so that you can see pictures of beautiful Norway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people never get called in though. These excersises are always incredibly stupid and nobody takes them seriously which always leads to many fuck-ups.

Most standard here in the U.S. is the M16. However there are several variations of it. And other weapons are used as standard issue. It depends on the Branch, type of fighting, and the squads.

Satchel 0 Posted June 24, 2002 Only for 2 days? geezuz, that´s got to be the shortest (Blitz) exercise i have heard of, hope they don´t expect you to refresh or improve anything during your stay, except excessive alcohol consumation and sudden degeneration of civilized manners of course . Sounds like serious camping fun to me, hope the weather will be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
