"Hullo zero-zero, this is delta one-six, we are hopelessly lost and have no way of knowing our location, please advise, over."

-Intercepted radio message from the other half of my section, lost during Exercise Gypsy 2

This was quite a week, but surprisingly not too bad. Got some rashes from the Gypsy exercises. =\ Field camp will be next week. Next two weeks will be really up-tempo, so I'm praying for the best. After that, things will start to slow down a little. Against my hopes, I realise I'm an excellent urban navigator, but I can't navigate for nuts in a jungle. But give me a manmade landmark, and I'm there. Guess the maze of Taiwanese streets and alleyways are no match for Lower Mandai.
