These Days

life is not so routined anymore.

Outfield means facing the sky full of stars at night in the jungle before sleeping, getting comfortable sleeping anywhere in the jungle and fully appreciating sleep. Generally outfield camp gets you closer to nature. Enjoying the experience was one thing, adapting to the experience before enjoying it was another whole damned thing. Losing a smoke grenade in the middle of the jungle was no laughing matter and neither was getting bitten by sandflies and mosquitoes. I'm now a qualified thumb-sucker. This includes enduring the smell of sweat on soiled uniforms worn by some of my fellow mates.

At least i still get to enjoy my social life. No matter how dark I've become.
