Wednesday: week 4, day 3

Like yesterday, I slept until noon because I had stayed up most of the night. Can’t complain though, I ended up with quite some sleep. The exercise was more or less over for us, I had to go back to Bière, attend some rapports, then more rapports, and at 5 pm we had the exercise review with the brigadier general, brigade staff and the battalion commander.

The review of our unit was awful, the worst of all six involved. The guy who checked on us was quite obviously looking for the bad things, but who cares.

After the review, we returend the battalion flag. Like last year, only a handful of our unit could make it to the ceremony, and we were referred to as the “logistics platoon”. By the other company commanders. Jerks ;)

After the flag return, we had a last get together of all officers of the battalion, and later we returned for dinner and lots of setting up for tomorrow and Friday, because we’re returing all our material and vehicles.

A symbol of how well organised we are at the moment: the computer pictured is a $40’000.- piece of equipment, and nobody knew where it came from. Not until one of the radio guys said that they’ve unmounted it from their vehicle, because they thought it should be like that.

We also don’t really know where we have to return that stuff tomorrow… fun times guaranteed!
