More Gadna Pictures



Pictures:
1st: Sometime around 5:15 am after sleeping outside. We woke up in shifts throughout the night to do guard duty, which consisted of walking around the area in pairs to look for animals or anything suspicious. I had from 3:50 to 4:15.
2nd: Camouflage day! (I'm the top right) We had to use water from our canteens and make mud to put on our faces. Then use any surrounding plant life that looked appealing to make ourselves look more like nature. We also learned how to jump to the ground and protect our heads during grenade explosions. It's important to remember to keep one leg crossed over the other to signal that you're still alive.
3rd: Me shooting an M16
4th: The shooting range
5th: At the end, our mefakedet was allowed to answer questions and converse with us like equals. We were even allowed to call her by her first name. She was one of the sweetest people I've met here.
