I wake up, to your sunset

This is not right.
There must have been a mistake.


What exactly, IS discipline?
Does it constitute barking every order at your men?
Or threats of punishment every corner one turns?
Does removing all sources of happiness, joy or motivation from your men make them more disciplined?
Or what about enforcing rules with a cold steel hand?


OR


Does it perhaps, concern the pride of every single man, when they CHOOSE to be disciplined in their actions on their own accord?
Or maybe, the motivation of the leader to lead and inspire his men to follow his image of discipline?
Does motivation, perhaps, play a more important role than punishment?
Or bending the rules with a twist, so one's men understand the reason for that rule, and thus follow it willing?




Something is being done very wrongly here.
People may succumb, fall to the fallacies of the higher order.
But I see the fault-lines, the problems in the system.
And you may push me in,
but be rest assured,
I will never fall.

My head is stuck in the clouds

I figured since my leave is so long I might as well do another post before I head back into my new life in camp.

So, compared to my PREVIOUS one week break where I spent 99.9% of it groaning in bed with a 40 degree Celsius fever due to a throat infection.

At least I am now enjoying myself. Have a major ulcer that keeps breaking after the previous one heals, but at least it's not stopping me from eating. So kudos there.


Played crazy hours of LAN, crazy hours of Pool AND spent lots of time just relaxing at home. I never knew all 3 of them could fit into one break. 

Now, if only I could find some time to sit down and read a book.


Life is good. And I got a new phone out of it...too.
Life IS good.


But alas, all good things never last.
But at least we know all bad things don't, either.
So it kinda balances each other out.
I guess.

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

So posted to Combat Engineer.
Everyone says it's like the worst posting ever,
but I figured...meh, might as well.
My dad said it was one of the toughest vocations during his time.
But after a while said it was for all the best,
since I was too scrawny and might as well build some size while I'm there.

I also got meself a new phone!
My old phone was getting really laggy,
couldn't seem to receive anything other than the no signal sign.
 Been dropping it alot lately though, while may explain why.

Block Leave count: 2 more days.
Got myself things to do.
Need to wake u p early tomorrow.
so... ciao!
