More of the Same

It's Friday now, and the last two days have passed in a blink of an eye. A new elements have been introduced to our training: Counter-IED techniques. In general, the training has consisted of more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. We have also had a quick briefing on the latest incidents in PRT MES (Provincial Reconstruction Team Mazar-e-Sharif). Yesterday the weather was scorching (on Finnish standards), but today we were soaked from the outside as well as from the inside of our clothes, as it rained properly. We also had the rotation's photograph taken, but that was early in the morning, just before it started to rain.

Here's some pictures.

Dog Day Afternoon (Hikinen iltapäivä) at the rifle range.


Another classroom briefing.


Conscripts crowding the smoking shelter. (They can act quite silly at times.)

Tomorrow is visitors' day (A, M, I and E are coming), and a muscle fitness test. We also sign out our desert camouflage uniforms, which we'll of course wear to impress the visitors.
