Back in Säkylä

I returned to Säkylä yesterday to continue the rotation training at the PSO training Coy there. After supper I watched "Mad Max 2 - Road Warrior" on TV while reading "Back Street Heroes" magazine at the same time. Excellent entertainment.

Today we were kept less busy than I expected. Before noon, we sorted out some paperwork and got our photographs taken. After lunch it was time to sign out an assault rifle with accessories, a pistol and an NBC-mask. Having carried all that and more to my locker (except for the weapons, which were stored elsewhere), I put on my running gear and took the 12-minutes' running test, or the Cooper test. I ran 2600 metres in 12 minutes, which I think is ok. It's not that far from my personal best, 2980 metres, which I ran almost 13 years ago. And I used to train a lot more back then.

Two very interesting lectures on the basics of Mobile Observation Team tactics concluded the day. And a tasty dinner, of course, with chicken pasta on the menu.
