Days 2 and 3
Posted 07-04-2008 at 12:50 PM by silent
Greetings from Novi Sad, Serbia.
Arrived and met by Morrigan team, realised that my attempts at a covert arrival failed dismally when all 3 guys pointed straight at me and said you must be Dan. Obviously the blend thing didnt happen!!
After, what can only be described as, the funniest transfer in history (with D driving minus his mexican disguise and sombrero) we arrived at my hotel. Here my covert arrival failed again and they mistook me for arriving royalty and insisted on giving me the best room in the hotel with a view over the city's old town as well as carrying my grip for me!! Bought some fags (60pence a pack) bought some more cos i thought thay had made a mistake!!! bought a beer (90 pence a pint) bought several more cos i thought they had ****ed up again. Went to bed....... i think.
Morning all!!!
Woke up and had a tour of the town, nice place lots of cafe bars etc friendly locals before going to MSI offices to clear the admin (wont do details as am gonna review the course seperately) and then got told who my instructors were going to be.......... I booked the course for two reasons.... my weapons skills were to say the least rusty and I needed to brush up on Meds, so I thought basic lectures from medics and basic drills from good operators......WRONG!!! my meds are being taken by a reknowned surgeon!!!! and my drills by none other than Buck Buchanan. Now I am shitting myself!!! I am desperate trying not to look like a complete rookie (despite my complete rookie status!!) so they dont chuck me back on theplane again. No worries there... we spend an hour going through what I dont know and what little I do, so all is good again in Silents world!!
Anyway, waffling on now....... like I said I am reviewing the course in detail on my return but all is looking peachy right now. Ranges tomorrow so if you are flying over Serbia in the next day or two I would review your flight plan accordingly. I am ex-navy!!!
Speak tomorrow if you really want to open my blog!!
Stay silent!!
