Short update

Polak · 12-16-07, 03:05 PM

It's been a while since I had a chance to write something, the military keeps me busy.
So far I'm enjoying it, but a lot of things irritate me. As in all ex-communist armies you must know the right people to have a smooth service.
Last week for example a commission fas formed, the commission had to single out 4 candidates that will go to West Point for five years. We had to write the SAT Reasoning test, I had the highest score, so I was convinced that I would be in the lucky 4, but to my great surprise 4 people with a score under 20 % where chosen.
''The lucky 4'' will still have to go through some test that will be administered by US embassy personnel, I doubt that they will admit 4 people that barely speak English to West Point.

I had my military oath ceremony a couple of months ago. Here are some pictures from that day.

Any chance of you coming over to Britain? I know RAF Halton has strong ties with Polish pilots

If I were in charge, you definetly would be going. I'd want to send my brightest as an example of the kind of people I'd have serving in my armed forces. It shows something about your country.

Great to see you around again. Keep at it - whatever the case, I hope you get a good position there

Polak is the most menacing looking. He looks bigger, even if it's an optical illusion, he's the only one with his weapon ready, and because he's in the front he appears to be the boss, which would ideally be a job occupied by the most dangerous man in the team. The other three standing back there look like the guys from Operation Flashpoint I'd take down like ducks.
