You’re on BA17, flying from 1°21’23″N, 103°59’28″E to 37°40′24″S, 144°50′36″E. Right now, you’re probably reaching Australian airspace.

Army Memories

I meant to write more about my army experiences in my earlier post about enlistment. Suffice to say, it could probably go on and on and on. So, I will stick to talking about BMT.

Enlistment

Ten years ago today, I enlisted in the Army. Can’t believe it’s been that long. Posing for a photo after dawn on the 2nd anniversary of enlistment.
