Rotation Training, Day Zero

So it begins. I’m looking forward to four weeks of training at Pori Brigade, in the PSO training company. On my way there, I was surprised to meet my future CO at the coach station in Humppila. My first impression of him was ok (I hope that the feeling is mutual). At the garrison, we unpacked our bags and went for a short run. The weather could not have been better. Very July-like, for a change. They seem to have accommodated us by where we’re going to be stationed, so the Aybak team has already met. Of the men most are reservists, only CO and myself are career officers.

I’m glad that the training has finally started. It feels good for a change to be able to just jump in and go with the flow, to sit down at a set table – instead of having to push and shove everything along, carry the responsibility and supervise. There will be enough time for that too on this trip, I’m sure, but not quite yet.
