I’ve recently returned from my second Military In Camp Training (better known as ICT around these parts where letters have to be rationed along with the food) this is past year. This one being a 9 day outfield counts as what is known as “High-Key”. Of which I have to clear 10 by the time I hit 40. So two down over the last two years, eight more to go. I wonder if I will finish the remaining High-Key ICT’s first or get married before that. Interesting Metric to keep track off.
Even though it’s my second ICT so far, it was the first time that I actually had to dig a Foxhole aka Shellscrape since my basic training. The previous ICT was constantly flooded by rain so digging was optmitted. Luckily for me, I managed to find a spot where the ground looked like it was dug up before for the very same reason I was intending to do. Nevertheless I overestimated how easy it would be to get the job done. Starting off at a steady pace I soon encountered rocks, hard clay and big roots. Goes to show that digging up old stuff is not easy.
The same goes for trying to work through this backlog of posts I have cumulated over the last few months. The lack of posts is not so much that I have nothing to write, but that I don’t finish writing those that I do start. And that when I finally come back to finish them up, they are full of rocks and stuff that doesn’t make it any easier.
Well it has to be done in the end. Gotta keep track of all these random flying ideas. Heh after all these years and I still got to teach myself how to blog.
