Well elly, so far we´re only doing the "GSU" (GrundSoldatUtbildning). Raw translation - BasicSoldierTraining/Education, it's something everyone does, in the swedish army. It consists of some field training, first aid education, and generally to learn how to act as a soldier (i.e being on time, with the right equipment at the right place) But soon I'm starting the true MP part

Nice, the survival and medic training... I've never been in the army but followed some of that in summer camps and other training; only difference is that the enemies were potential hungry wild animals (hmmm, is it really a difference? ). It should really be something that everyone has access to at least once in each's life. Hard but fascinating and how valuable should you once have use of it...

Lol, if you don't want more bitemarks and bruises, you better not carry that stuff on you with a big baby of that kind of temper. ;D
How come they assign you horses like this? And what are those there for?

Well this horse is just too hard to deal with, for me and for people with lots of experience as well, my lieutenant who has been working with horses for 15years also had huge difficulties keeping the horse calm while brushing it.... Most horses are nice though...
The horses are used later on for the Swedish HÖGVAKTEN x) högvakten is sweden's biggest tourist-magnet, it's when the royal guards come to relieve the ones who are already guarding, it's a very stylish event, I recommend you to check it out on youtube, it ought to be there.

Mobbie, if I were you, I would ride that horse and be the first who tamed it ;D But be careful though, falling off a furious horse isn't exactly what you have in mind for militairy training

Lol, I was wondering how come they would give to someone who isn't properly experienced to handle it safely a horse with that character that even pros have a hard time with... It's cool though that you have horse riding lessons as part of your formation.
