Hey everyone,
So at this point, I have officially enlisted and become a soldier for real. I have served my first two days of my army service. So we went back to bakum (the part of the main base in tel aviv, where they enlist people) and since i was already a soldier, i sat there for multiple hours not doing anything. Then eventually by about 3ish in the afternoon they called 5 of us to go get on a bus. We walked over to the buses got on a bus, which was absolutely packed full, and got on, only to put all of our bags in the aisle of the bus, since there was no more room under it. We got to the base at about 6 or 7 at night, and the first thing we did was go eat dinner. Then we went back, had to get beds, mattresses, sleeping bags, and put them in our tents. Then we had to get another set of beds and mattresses and sleeping bags for another group that had gotten to the base after us. Then we did a lot more moving of beds and sleeping bags, nothing too serious. eventually we had our sha'ah tosh (free hour for anything you need to do), which is also the only hour that you have during the day to be on the phone...(otherwise it has to be off and in the tent). Not to mention that you can only be on the phone in your tent or behind the bathrooms. So, like most good weekends when ill be let out of the army, i got out on Friday to go home, and so i had about 6 or 7 hours of bus rides to get to my kibbutz. Now its shabbat and I'm resting a lot, only to wake up tomorrow at around 6 in the morning to get on a bus at 6 30 to have another many hours of bus riding...I haven't done very much yet, but ill be updating on weekends that i come home to my kibbutz, and/ or if i have any computer access...
