In the army...

So... I probably haven't mentioned this before but my brother joined the army (no, it's not voluntary and yes you get to pick a number. If the number you picked is above something something you can get out, if not then you're enlisted unless there is something wrong with your "health") But yes, my brother was enlisted and he is going to become a Royal Danish life guard, meaning that he'll be protecting her majesty the Queen of Denmark at some point. Last Saturday was Open house day and we got to see how they live and what they usually do in a normal day. The Three Musketeers aka me and my siblings. I'm the oldest (left) and my sister(right) is 3 years younger than me. My brother is 6 years younger than me and the tallest out of the bunch. I'm 5'6" which is an okay height but my sis just stopped growing when she reached 17...

The two official uniforms they're supposed to wear when standing guard. The red uniform dates back many many years when design was more important than practicality. Can you see what I mean when I say that the red uniform looks like a target especially with the big white cross in the middle? Not exactly camouflage-y when crouching behind a bush! (I wonder who designed it? Yeah it has the national colors on it but that doesn't justify it)



Here I am, shooting a rifle. Amazingly enough I got 5 out of 5, yay! Maybe I can do something cool like become a sniper! Just keeding! I don't have the patience and don't have a clue of how to take the humidity, the wind or coriolis effect into consideration.



During the morning check-up in their rooms, a sergeant also checked their water flasks. Since their supposed to be empty and all, they usually "pour" the contents over their heads, unfortunately for some of the guys they apparently forgot about it. Haha!

All in all a nice day where I got to see a lot of young boys in uniform *drool* Haha, just keeding, they're too young for me ... ... or are they? (^o^) lol
