Sorry for the bump,but i found this video music which is IMO priceless,performed by the Israeli Navy musical band,And it's basically a tribute to S'13 (Don't know if those are real Shayetet operators in the video though):
Macabi, clear out some mail so I can PM you.
Damn right, it's all in your head.
I learned this lesson in my basic training. We had this platoon commander that thought he was training some special unit. So our third march (~15+ 2 with stretchers) we did mostly running, and I was dumb enough to carry the damn thing(a folded stretcher) all the way until we opened it, and I never wasn't exactly the running type (pretty much the opposite, my best time for 2km was like more than 10 min). It probably was the hardest experience in my whole life (much harder in fact than the final march about 25km which we did in more normal pace), but our platoon commander just knew how to get the best of you. After we finished the damn march I was so mentally exhausted so I just found a place in the barracks where nobody could see me and just "broke down" completely...
Made my service in the education corps, most of us wanted kravi and couldn't get to it. Anyway among many shi*** things, I also saw some girls going from
"Ani zoremet..." to doing a squad excersice and carrying stretchers. The point is if they can anyone can.
The word Yael meant Combat engineer Special Force ?
no wonder that Israel girl I dated was so faisty![]()
