Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday

We did not crawl through mud. We did not even have to put on camouflage. My company clearly rocks. BAC is kind of silly. It's just a series of targets that you're supposed to strike, although we used hardly any of the techniques learnt during the past two weeks. The whole thing was over in less than 10 minutes. Had a haircut again, but just the sides and the back this time. I think I actually look quite good, which is more than can be said for most people after their hair has been cut. It's hard to believe that my days as a shaven recruit are almost over. We also did another stupid survey today, right before we booked out. What a colossal waste of time! As if anyone really cares about the responses. Even if someone were taking note, would things really change? I doubt it. Call me cynical, but change is just something that gets talked about a lot; it rarely happens, and when it does, it happens slowly.
