3rd November

Okay so yesterday I may have been close to snapping a bit, 22 days in and almost had my first confirmed snap! Had a chat with mum today, so that’s calmed me down a bit, made me realize that things are not all bad. There’s just one thing well place, that’s been playing on my mind, it’s M1T. Where the accurate fire was whizzing past my head the other day. I think we are going back there tomorrow early door’s to look for a scrap.

Now I’m all up for a scrap, it’s what I joined the Para’s for really, to take the fight to the enemy, but to go out and look for a scrap after only 22 day’s here is screaming bad omen’s to me. Even back home, I’ve never gone out to look for a fight, but to do it here, probably not the best place. As always though I will always stand my ground, as I know that this miss match of Para’s will as well. My birthday is in 6 days, wonder how many more time’s I’m going to get shot at before I’m 22? Just finished the book ‘The Way To Valhalla’, first book I’ve finished in ages, and described the Parachute Regiment solider to a t. Well it’s now 1755 I’m back on stag at 2030, time to myself now so probably going to get some zzzzzzzz, only 8 days till RnR.
