The Early Days

Here is a selection of photos from the first two months of my time in the Army ("boot camp"). We did not have much fun back then...

Her er et lite utvalg av bilder fra "rekrutten", dvs. den såkalte "tilvenningsperioden" i Heggelia, august - oktober 1999.

Day One - at Gardermoen Air Force Base, waiting... Aug. 25 1999	Me, in front of the camp gate.	One of the first times we lined up with almost full gear - before...
...and after.	Some of the guys in my first room, cleaning the room in the morning... Not a grain of sand in sight!	This is private Sørensen, having fun washing the floor ;o)
Private Flatjord, digging his own grave - oh, sorry, it was just a trench ;o) [TG]	Relaxing, after an evening of trench-digging and a night full of action. [TG]	Harring (to the left) and Sørensen, guarding a "perfect" command post prior to Gen. Frisvold's visit, Oct. 8th.
This is me in front of a Leopard tank.	That's me (to the right) and private Skjelbred, back in our room after a truly exhausting Alarm excercise at 4.30 am. We were woken by Rammstein-music, how traumatic is that!?	This is how some of us (not including me) learned how to drive a BV-206. [TG]
No professional hair-dressers are needed in the Army... ;o)
