Janitors who shoot M16s

*FROM 11/24*
This morning we woke up at 5:40 and no one had enough time to get ready (especially when only 2 of 4 toilets in the bathroom worked and there were over 100 girls who needed to use them). After cleaning we went to breakfast, which was not good at all. After breakfast we got on a bus and went to the shooting range. We went to shoot in groups of 15 (I was in group 2). Shooting wasn’t actually as scary as I thought it would be. However, I forgot to aim for my first few shots and eventually just went by the theory of wherever the bullet landed was where I had aimed (unsurprisingly I didn’t really get any on my target). When we got back to the base we ate lunch and then had 4 hours of kitchen duty (we felt like janitors). It was tons of fun being yelled at and not having Israelis listen to you when you say you can only have one hamburger or you can only have one breka (not). After we served the food we had to clean the entire dinning hall, which took forever! When we finished cleaning we had a short break and then a lesson on the purity of arms. Then we had dinner, which wasn’t good, but at least we didn’t have to clean up after that meal too. After dinner half of our unit cleaned guns with the head commander while the rest of us talked with our commander about EIE and our army experience. Then we had our mandatory hour break. When we met with our commander we thought we would be going straight to bed but we were wrong. Instead we had a lesson (which was more like story time) with the head commander. It was about a soldier named Michael Levine. When story time was over we went to bed and even though story time was spur of the moment and they said they wanted us to get 7 hours of sleep, wake up time didn’t change.
