Die unterkunft erfüllt ihren zweck und bleibt auch wenn alle drin sind einigermassen kühl. So weit so gut. Allerdings gibt es ein manko: das duschwasser ist ARSCHKALT! mal schaun was es heut …

Alle Jahre wieder

Am Montag ists wieder soweit, das Vaterland ruft. Wie patriotisch, gell? Ein weiteres mal gibts in meinem Keller plötzlich wieder Platz. Ich starte mit gemischten Gefühlen in diesen WK. Auf der einen Seite “schissts mi aa”, auf der anderen Seite kann ich dem ganzen auch etwas positives abgewinnen. Es ist immer wieder mühsam, wenn man …

InfBr5 hits the Internet

Today I had the new edition of “Armee aktuell”, a magazine for the members of the Infantry Brigade 5. Unlike magazines of some other formations of the swiss army, this one is not so strict army-style. You get reports about the last WK of all battallions in the brigade and whats coming up in the …

WK 2008 – The last few Days

Here is what happened the last few days of my WK. On my way back to Bern I’ve met up with some other guys from the section. That made the train-ride a lot shorter and helped to find the way through Bern . OK, we were about 20 minutes late. But that didn’t disturb us …

WK 2008 – Last preparations

Here we go again. It’s just a few hours left, and I’ll be on my way back to Bern to do the (hopefully) last week of Military service this year. Looking back, its quite good to do 10 days in one piece and then have a few days off. Its even nicer when you know …

WK 2008 – First (and worst) part done

This morning the 7th and last Night-shift ended. I arrived at home a few hours ago and enjoyed a long and hot shower. It feels good to be home again, in your usual surrounding. Doing so many Days in one go on the other hand has also its advantages. After the holiday you don’t have …

WK 2008 – Not much happening here

I know i didn’t write a lot lately. The reason is that there’s simply nothing happening here. The schedule looks exactly the same every day. Nothing spectacular at all. Only highlight was the parcel i got from my girlfriend. And knowing that there might be one from my mum on the way. Time will tell…
