GA
GA stands for Greek Army. So, few comments for the first two weeks over there.
Now I am a soldier under oath, things get serious on Monday evening when
we return to the camp. One of the biggest training camps in Greece in Korinthos, with one of
largest crews for training in the last years (~1500 men)... Plenty of people,
not enough officers (according to them), and all the races of the world serving
Greece as their country. From Russia, Albania, and many Roma. The two main groups
are the tough guys -usually youngsters max. 23 yo- and the softies... then, there
are the oldies (like me...), and the minorities. Lots of things to learn
from these people, not everything necessarily all positive, but welcome. Things are fine one day, the next is hard. Some problems here and there,
but what mostly disturbs me is the crowd. We are too many, very few moments of peace,
while the few officers have an order in mind most of the time... Gun training
starts next week, I think, and the situation will get serious.

Stefane,
good luck!
I just moved back to Athens and I'm getting really tired of mamapatrida. I'm going to close it down pretty soon!
What exactly would you like to tell?
