Boots on the ground
from Israeli Patriot
I`m 22 years old, I have an older brother who's a computers
and math student and a younger sister who's in the army.
I live in a small town next to Tel Aviv called Kiryat Ono in
Israel.
When I was 18 I was recruited to the army like everyone in
that age.
I served for three and a half years in an operational
position (3 mandatory years and 6 months that I signed extra by choice).
After 9 months of basic training I became a combat soldier
and one year after that I became a commander of the basic training. I had 17
soldiers (you can see them in the two pictures. Both of them are from the final
part of the basic training)...After I finished it I got back to the regular
unit as a professional commander (which means I specialized in a specific part
of the unit's job and was in charge of it).
I was released 2 months ago but I've already been in reserve
service twice. Once after the three boys were kidnapped and the second time at
the start of this operation.
These days I'm studying for my S.a.t and I want to study
medicine in Jerusalem in the future.
Life here in Israel and especially in the center is usually
quite...since the operation started we had a lot of sirens alarms also here and
we had to go to the shelter.
I have many friends
that are now inside Gaza and im very worried for them.
We are such a small country that I have mutual friends with
almost every one of the 53 soldiers who were killed in this operation (after we
talked I found out that one of my soldiers best friend died yesterday)
I hope things could be normal and that Hamas would stop
harming innocent people from both sides.
I think that we can't stop the operation till all the
tunnels are destroyed...imagine living I a place where terrorists are digging
under your house, waiting to come out and shoot everybody at sight.
