I havent been on here for a while, and my life has changed significantly since then.....ive changed significantly since then. I went through with it and joined the Army, i left and did basic training which was alright, turns out im a fairly good shot. Ive just finished my Infantry course at Singleton NSW which was amazing, its changed the way i look at myself and at life. Im a lot more protective of my friends and family, im more respectful, i dont really drink all that much anymore so i dont get into as much trouble, and im definitely not as much of a man whore. Im proud of myself, the morals and skills ive been taught over the last 4 months. Ive met some amazing people who have become my brothers and closer to me than my friends back home, we've struggled through adversity together and overcome them together. Whether it was digging trenches for 72 hours straight with no sleep or a 15km pack march with 45kg on my back, i knew my friends we're there for me and i love them all for it. Im currently at the Sydney airport waiting for my flight to Townsville which will be my new home from now on. My journey is just starting and ive loved every minute of it so far, its tough, demanding and requires every bit of energy you have but its rewarding. Ive been told that the infantry is hard and youll have a few good time, and plenty of shit times, but it would be the shit times youd talk and laugh about when you were sitting having beers with your mates.....like thinking i was stuck in a tiny green town and i couldnt escape from, then realising i was wearing Night Vision, hadnt slept for 50 hours and was hallucinating hard. Ive come out of this fitter than ever and im hoping to continue that. Its weird knowing i could be overseas by christmas but im excited for it too.
Now that ill have a bit more free time id love to connect or reconnect with people on here so feel free to shoot my a message and chat to me.
And to all those ive wronged and fucked over, im sorry, im trying to atone and be a better person
