And an RK, no less! Man, shooting one is almost like meditation. You just relax your body and mind, then you aim, then you take a deep breath in, then you breathe half of the air in your lungs out, hold your breath and resolutely pull the trigger. Then the gun reloads itself because it's awesome and you repeat the process. It's just magical.
Also, I super enjoyed the military service in general and I applied for an extension but it got rejected. There's just so much cool stuff you can only do in the military, I really liked the staff at the barracks, and in an environment like this you're guaranteed to meet people with very diverse backgrounds and get tons of new friends outside of what would normally be your circles. I also love challenges, spending time in the wilderness, and leaving my comfort zone (to learn to appreciate it), and the military service offers a lot of those. I have also gotten much more physically fit and better at handling social situations. The only thing I was lacking here was free time, but with what little free time I had, I still managed to have almost as much fun and be almost as productive as I did when I had 5 times as much free time every day. Overall I'd say these were the best 165 days I've ever had in a row, so of course I'm sad now that I actually have to leave.
