Hello
I am fine...
I do alot of things online(gaming, political activism, historical writing) and in real life(work, family). Sometimes I just lose intrest in something(like SPMBT) and later remember it exists. Sorry for my sporadic presence.
In case any of you worried- yes I was called up for Op Protective Edge. Spent 3 weeks in a highly unpleasant place called Kerem Shalom. Did not go into the strip itself though thank god...My former battalion CO and XO were ambushed by a Hammas squad inside Israel, resulting in the death of the XO(Amotz, a lovely and kind man and great field commander), and the severe injury of the CO(Alon, a pedantic and fearless leader himself).
I must say that this last "round" was very difficult for me, I waited for 2 weeks for the call, knowing that my new unit is under command of the Gaza division. During this time, as I mentioned, I heard about Amotz being killed, and Alon and several other friends and brothers in arms being wounded. So I was very very anxious to be called up and fight. In the end by the time I was called up the fighting was nearly over, although we did get our fair share of mortar and rocket attacks and alot of hard work keeping the line, while regular army tank battalions were still inside the strip fighting street to street in Rafiach and elsewhere. If you guys are intrested, I can post some pictures from our daily routine in Kerem Shalom.
Cheers,
Amit.
