In the Navy!

I have now been in the Navy for 10 weeks, and ok 4 of them have been spent on summer leave but it still counts!
I left on the 27th June after 13 days notice to start my new career. Well I lasted just under 2 weeks before I injured myself and got moved into the rehab Division to recover....good start :)

I tore the abductor in my right leg, and have been doing a training and reahb program everyday so my leg will recover and I can be put back in to training.
I didnt get to do any of the good stuff. I got to do all the paper work and briefs and then hurt myself when it started to get good lol! I have really enjoyed my time so far, even though Im not doing proper training. I love doing my kit and I enjoy marching everywhere lol!! Its brilliant down there, everyone is really nice and Ive made some cracking mates. Im not gonn alie its hard work and its a big shock to the system, getting up at 0545 and being pushed all day but in the end its worth it.

Coming home after 6 weeks away was brilliant. Nothing had change and everyone was still the same, stuck in the same routine, but it felt good to be home and have some sort of a life. I went on holiday for 2 weeks and it was lovely to relax in the Dominican Republic with a book and a glass of Sangria! its been a good 2 weeks at home as well, although Ive spent most of the 2 weeks in the pub! I have never drunk so much!! lol I also went to see We Will Rock You. Its amazing, I loved it. Ive really caught this theatre bug, and hope I can fit it in to see another show when Im home at xmas!!!

Just getting ready to go back now and like I said I wont be home till xmas and even though I'llbe gone for about 3 months I know that when I get home it will all be the same. I will have grown and expericened new things but everyone at home will still be doing the same old, same old.
Makes me glad I joined the Navy and am trying to do something with my life. I also like I get paid to sit in the pub and drink lol!!! Happy Days!!!!! :)
