Short term memory and short term anxiety
There's many theories I already have about the army. After all there's a lot of time I spend in there, and plenty of thinking is being done on a daily basis. Some of the theories I can post here, some I will probably keep offline in a personal diary, as I don't know If i am allowed to reveal a lot of info on specifications of how our army is organised today.
One observation I have made in my first 40 days in the trainign camp (call it newies camp if you will :-) is that we always have some kind of anxiety which lasts only for a few days. The cause of this is clearly the fact that every 2-3 days we learn something new which is necessary knowledge for the next stages of our service, and builds on previous knowledge. I remember in the beginning we had to learn how to march together, later how to use the weapon, how to do precision exercises with it, then we had the day when we got sworn in, after that our first times of patroling and guarindg the camp overnight, and then we had a kind of excibition for the ministry on what we have been doing for the past month, after which the discussion issue was our transfers and where everyone is going to be stationed after training camp. All these discussions last for a maximum of three days as the next topic emerges straight after that period of time has gone by...
I guess this will probably change in the near future, as after the first 3 months we will probably have learned most of what we need to know about our service and will finally be able to do all we have to do without difficulties for the next 9 months.
