At home on a weekend off, and I’ve been trying to catch up on email and comments in my meager internet time. I’m about three months behind on both. If I don’t reply to you, it’s either because I didn’t have time or because I missed your comment. So just in case – thanks for all the good wishes and support! It makes me feel a lot better to know that people out there are thinking about me.

I just set an account up on LoudTwitter, in the hopes that I’ll figure out a way to post tweets from my phone. If I don’t, and if it spams your flists with empty posts anyway, sorry in advance.

A little more about what’s going on with my military career – I’m almost a month into my course; most of the way through. I’ll be under one of two branches in the Strategic Brigade – either Foreign Military Cooperation or the Liaison office. The former involves sitting in Tel Aviv and coordinating things with foreign military representatives and the latter involves sitting on the border (or in one of the three regional HQs) and doing the same thing. Am hoping for the latter, mostly because the five hour daily commute between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv would kill me, and the alternatives aren’t that attractive. Plus, who wants to live with their parents when they’re in the army? Not me.

We get our assignments in a week and a half, at the end of the course – fingers crossed.
