DAY 170 (Friday 06 January 2012)

Well I managed to get an early knock off this afternoon, not because I had finished all my work that I could do, (even though that helped), but because we have to be in work on Sunday afternoon because of the VVIP that is coming for a visit and the COS has said that we could have an afternoon off in lieu on Fri 13 Jan 12, well for me that won’t happen as I am on duty next week, so I got permission from DCOS to take the afternoon off.

Other than that I did nothing when I got back home except relax.

DAY 169 (Thursday 05 January 2012)

There was a Bhund today so that meant no vehicle movement and the shops were well and truly shut, so Charlie couldn’t go out to do any shopping if he wanted to, fortunately we had plenty of food in the house, also because of the Bhund, the new Gurkha recruits (this is the first lot that had arrived as they are due to fly to the UK on Saturday evening and that is when the second lot are due to arrive to start their process to move to the UK on Mon 9 Jan 12) that had just had their Attestation parade arrived during the early hours, this was now the start of their journey back to the UK to begin their training to become trained Infantrymen.

The Bhund ended at 1500hrs which was good news as that meant we could have vehicle movement and people could get out and about without the fear of being attacked.

DAY 168 (Wednesday 04 January 2012)

No news to report today.

DAY 167 (Tuesday 03 January 2012)

Well today is my first day back to work (we still had to do a PT session, nothing to tell there really it was just a circuit session) and I didn’t even get a chance to get to my office before the COS (Chief of Staff) told me he needed to see me in his office as there were amendments to be made to the visit programme for the VVIP that was arriving that day.  I still can’t tell you who the VVIP is just yet, but the majority of you who reads this will think he’s not VVIP, but in the eyes of the MOD he is.

Anyway, other than that it was a case of catching up with my emails for other visitors that are due to come in, so it was a normal day in the office for a Tuesday.

DAY 166 (Monday 02 January 2012)

Well today is my last day of leave before I head back to work, the only thing that I have really done is my ironing from all the holiday clothes that were washed when we got back as I did my uniform prior to going on holiday.

DAY 165 (Sunday 01 January 2012)

NEW YEARS DAY

No news to report.

DAY 164 (Saturday 31 December 2011)

NEW YEARS EVE

To be honest with you, even though it is New Years Eve we haven’t really done anything, so there is no news to report.
