2nd January

Feeling really pissed off with this IED situation, now they want us to keep constant eye’s on it and report if anyone come’s to retrieve it. Fucking mad up top, sometimes I really feel like its donkey’s leading lion’s. Anyway had an easy patrol into M2A, started looking for likely firing points as we are going to put out a VCP tomorrow and try to draw him out again.

That’s it really, just making sure that all my kit’s good to go at the moment cleaned a lot of it today, it was gipping. Now I’m starting to get into something new this year so I started boxing with Dunc today and got absolute fucked. A lot of skill in it that you don’t even think about, still good fitness though.
