Hello everyone, Its been a while… once again been very busy, this time not in a great way… I think the bad energy of 2012 (rumors of it being the end of the world) has struck me, and ever since New Years Eve pretty annoying things have been happening. Read More »

So last time we talked i was in the US enjoying 2 weeks off. Now before you know it it’s New Years Eve. Who thought 2012 will arrive so quickly? I know i didn’t! 2012 is when i get released from the IDF and i definitely did not think it will come close to that day! So the past month or so i have been in a fairly bad mood. Read More »

Hello all, Sorry it took me so long to post… i have been very busy and a bit lazy. Last time we left off i was talking about the amazing time i am having on base in my position. I also got approval to fly to the US and that is what my post will be about today. Read More »

Hello everyone! I can finally say that after a year and a month in the IDF i have reached ultimate happiness and satisfaction. First I will talk about Instructors Course. Everyone who doesn’t know what Instructors course is in my unit can go a few posts down and read about my job there. Read More »

I do not even know how to begin sharing my excitement with you. I am writing this post 2 days after Gilad is home with his family, and I am still in tears from everything. Gilad was kidnapped on June 2005 by the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza. Read More »

Hi Everyone, Sorry I did not update you in a long time. I was very busy, but for the first time in a long time It was a good kind of busy. I was working very hard on preparations for the new instructors course starting in the middle of October. Read More »

I cannot believe that in 2 weeks i will be a year in the Army… Sounds crazy to me. The things i went through in the first few months managed to make me so tired from the beginning of this service, who would have thought that i would survive all this? Read More »

Before updating about my week i would like to take the time to write a special post dedicated to the people lost that day, and to what i did 10 years later to remember this national tragedy. I obviously do not need to describe to you what went on that day, and the days to come. Read More »

Hello all, Last time i wrote to you there was chaos in the South, and craziness on my base. Thankfully things have quieted down a little because this is not time for war…we have September for that… But anyways… of course when i got to base it was my turn for guard duty…AGAIN. Read More »

I don’t know if you have heard what has been going on in our Southern border over the last 2 days. I have no clue what the media has been saying, but i will tell you what i know. It started with a group of 15-20 terrorists who most likely came from Sinai. A terrorist/ a few terrorist sprayed a bus on the way to Eilat with bullets. Read More »

Sooooo… After finishing the Advanced Instructors Course and going back to base things have been a little crazy in a bad kind of way. I have been placed in every single duty possible in the 2 weeks i am back. Read More »

Hello everyone, How are you doing? I know i am doing very well. After intense weeks of studying, learning endless material, and making so many new friends, the day to get our instructors lace has finally arrived! But before i tell you what the lace and pin means to me, i will describe the last 2 weeks of the course. Read More »

Last week was a very tiring week. I was in the midst of exams and going to classes in the last 2 weeks of the course when i got upsetting news that one of our Officers committed suicide. It was a big shock to me, and i had to go to the funeral. Read More »

So as you probably understood from the last posts, i am very satisfied with the place i am at. It is an amazing unit, with amazing people, and lots of work to do (if you know me well you know that i prefer being really busy, as opposed to sitting and doing nothing). Read More »

Hello once again. Hope everyone is doing well. Welcome to the post about the scariest experience i had thus far. Guard duty is known as hell. But it could enter the phases between heaven and hell if you guard for only 2 hours with another person. Unfortunately we like to make it difficult, and it is a little different on our base. Read More »

Wow… what can i say….every day that i am stationed in this place, is an extra day of really giving back and doing amazing things with these soldiers. This base is different then the other one because they actually trust me and my experience. Read More »

Hey guys sorry its been so long since i wrote. I had to stop the blog due to security reasons. There is so much that has changed since the last update, that i do not even know where to begin What i decided to do is separate the topics (as far as i can remember) because it will be too much for one post. Read More »

So… Before Memorial Day i went to the Central Base to get interviewed by a placement Officer etc. That did not go so well because the Officer was in a really bad mood, and did not really interview me; She just asked me why i was here, and then told me to wait outside. I did not get any position offers at all and that was really odd to me. Read More »

11 years ago, I was sitting here on the couch, watching TV and remembering the fallen soldiers and terror victims ofIsrael. But it was different then… I was young, and did not understand much. Read More »

So enough with the fun…now it is time for business… Until now I was waiting for a unit’s approval to get out of this base… unfortunately bureaucracy is a huge part and problem of this army, and it took about 2 months to allow my transfer. I finally got the good news that I was leaving base to meet a placement officer. This was bitter sweet news. Read More »
