Happy Memorial Day everyone. Thank a veteran today!
Congratulations to everyone who's graduated/graduating from their academic institutions. Especially those graduating from high school...I still can't believe some of y'all are actually going to be HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES! I'm proud of all y'all, and keep up the good work, wherever life takes you next. Send me an email (see the contact page) and let me know what your plans are or post a comment on the blog.
I know it's been a little while since I sent out an email and/or update the blog...been kinda busy with the CP04 combat engineering course (all that's left are the tests this week) as well as the MINEX1 mine/ordnance disposal course. It was almost exactly a year ago when I was up in Wyoming taking the Wilderness EMT course, and I would not have thought I'd have my brain so thoroughly challenged a year later in the Legion. The modern Legion is not just brawn, it's also quite a bit of brains too.
It seems that newspaper writers randomly write about the French Foreign Legion. Not quite sure what the impetus was for this article, but it's actually pretty accurate, unlike some other articles I'v had read.
Article at the Washington Post
It does have one small mistake though...it's 14 creases, either 3.5cm width or 5.3cm width, dependant on the location. And the first time took a lot longer than 3-4 hours, mainly because it was only the second time I had ever used an iron in my life (to iron a shirt, that is). Showing up with only 13 creases would be bad thing, trust me.
