Getting transferred

I got to know my transfer on Wednesday, as we all have to serve half our time on the military near the border. I am getting transferred to Alexandroupoli, near the Greek-Turkish border in Northern Greece. So I already moved out of training camp and am preparing to leave for that location tomorrow, as I have to present myself there Monday morning.

Alexandroupoli is some 350km away from Thessaloniki, and the last time I was there it was during a theater performance (yes, I was acting!) when I was 14, in 1992. Not many vivid memories though, so I am looking fwd to checking out the city. I am also lucky to have a friend from AIESEC in a nearby camp (some 40 minutes away from the city) plus a new friend from the training camp, in the neighbouring camp from the one I will be stationed at.

How this all is going to work: Monday the 20th moving to Alexandroupoli. During January I hope I will be able to take a few days off to go to Thessaloniki and take a couple of exams at University. End of January I am coming back to Lamia for a month, for some extra training here, and end of February I am moving back to Alexandroupli where I will be staying till the end of May or longer. Sometime around April I should know my next (and final) transfer.

Lots of sentimental moments yesterday in the camp, when everyone was leaving for different destinations around the country, and I hope to see many of those people I met in the training camp again in the future.
