技校生活

星期日收假後，隔天就分到技校（技術學校）了，在那裡我們依照自己的兵科接受更進一步的訓練，為期兩個禮拜。我分到的是二大隊，分到二大隊的都是同樣只受訓兩禮拜的同學。

這裡的生活挺不錯，吃的比新訓時好，每一餐都是五菜一湯，中餐和晚餐還有水果，吃不飽可以自己加菜，吃飯時可以講話，也不用像新訓一樣，「餐盤標齊桌緣，板凳確實坐二分之一，兩眼凝視正前方，腰桿打直，挺胸手揹好」，就很輕鬆坐就可以了，自己打完菜就可以開動了，每一餐都吃的超飽。

還有這裡只有隊上幹部--中隊長和輔導長，其餘都是學長，要求重點基本上就是個人服裝儀容，鬍子要刮、指甲要剪、衣服確實穿好即可，在生活大樓內怎麼穿基本上都OK，可以穿個拖鞋到處跑都沒關係，內務的部分主要就是床單四個角要拉好，棉被鋪平，內務櫃和床下都不要求。另外，很多自由時間，吃飽飯到集合時間前都是自由時間，可以看電視、打球、投飲料、睡覺、做自己的事、發呆...等，都沒有限制。所以這裡相對於新訓，真的像是兩個完全不同的世界，這應該是當兵最輕鬆的時間了吧。

至於補給要做的事挺多的，申請糧秣（就是米、油之類的）、被服（服裝和床單、枕頭套等）、零附件（申領零件）、辦餉（薪水）都是補給要做的事，有很多表單要填，所以上課基本上都是在學這些東西，實際工作內容和更細節的部分就要等下部隊才知道。我之後分到的汽車隊就在我目前上課的對面而已，但根據教官說法，到汽車隊也有可能被抓去當駕駛，因為一切也是要看單位卻什麼人，總之下單位就知道了。

下禮拜五（10/22）技校結訓後，就會到「直屬隊」等待分到的單位來接你，在那之後，基本上當兵都會在那個地方，工作內容、生活起居、休假等到那時候才會知道，anyway, I will be good. 之後有機會再update之後的事吧。

Talk to The Old Friends

Guess it's since last week when I had 5 days off after 42-day military training that I started talking with some friends in US. Mostly talked to my host sister. I started looking for the photos and uploading to the on-line album so that my host family might be able to see how I was doing for the past 4 years. Spent most of the time uploading the photo albums and blogs and waiting for the responses.

Pretty much the same this weekend. First, checked on the MySpace, blogs, and emails to see whether any messages were from the old friends. Moreover, spent much time sorting my photos so that I could find them whenever I need them. While I was sorting the photos, Amber Lin, one old friend, sent me msn message. Very surprised and happy to talk with her on MSN, because it's been a long time since the last time we talk.

I feel that there are many people joining part of my life, when I am looking through the photos. Pretty miss them and the time we spend together, though I don't contact them for a while. Anyway, I hope they are all safe and doing well wherever they are and whatever they are doing. Time to move on and do what I should do. Wish to hear from you and see you again, my friends. Take care!

Cool Slideshow

I make this at MySpace. It looks great so post here to share with friends. I upload these photos so my friends or family in US may take a look to know how I am doing. Anyway, enjoy!

My Host Family

I copy this slideshow from the MySpace of my host sister, Stella. There are some family members and some I've never met before. Anyway, still enjoy seeing them again. After all, I don't see them for 4 years. Surprising to re-connect with them few days ago at MySpace, I upload more photos and write more about myself. Really miss them and would like to introduce to the friends in Taiwan. They are my family! ^^y


Create Your Own

45 Days(10/22~12/07)

Just cut my hair again at home. It's 45 days before I cut my hair again. During the 6-week training, we only shaved the hairline. Therefore, it's pretty long for me, so decide to cut it.

However, still one lady asked me whether I was a soldier, because she thought my hair was very short. Anyway, we just have different standars on "long and short". Still like to keep my hair short! ^^

學過的軍歌

新訓42天班長曾教過，包括只唱過幾次的歌有：

1. 海軍軍歌
2. 同袍情
3. 軍紀歌
4. 浩氣
5. 海上進行曲
6. 起錨歌
7. 無敵戰艦
8. 忠義之歌
9. 豪情
10. 藍色海洋
11. 我們屹立在太平洋上
12. 亮島之歌
13. 海上長城
14. 英雄好漢
15. 邁向成功
16. 我們是一群弟兄
17. 夜襲
18. 伙伴
19. 鐵一般的部隊

前15首是會唱的，後4首無法唱完整首。

軍歌強調的是要一個字一個字咬斷，老班長唱起來的感覺幾乎字和字間
完全不相關，跟平常聽的流行歌完全不一樣，不過一直聽42天，現在滿
腦幾乎都充滿軍歌的旋律，很奇妙，有空唱給大家聽吧，我們可是陸操
（基本動作外加答數唱歌）第一名呢！

新訓後的第一天

亮島之歌（七中隊隊歌）

展開勇猛的翅膀 奔像神聖的地方
在此建立多年的夢想 榮譽就在胸膛
縱然汗水和淚在臉龐 經過失敗後絕不憂傷
看我們七中隊勇猛戰技強 迎向勝利的第一戰

10/25~12/05，42天的新訓生活終於劃下句點，經過三次點放，都決定
自願留營，所以除了打靶曾經出過營區，其餘42天都在新訓中心度過，
42天第一次走出營區、第一次穿便服鞋、手握遙控器、打電腦上網、不
用唱軍歌聽自己想聽的音樂，這感覺真的好像隔好久，很多事情都想
做，但也一直深怕日子過太爽，忘記每天的安全回報和收假，也因為軍
人身份，很多事情不太敢做。

Anyway, 總結新訓的生活，從一開始不會對腳步、答數、唱軍歌、基本
禮儀，現在幾乎成了反射動作，看到班長長官行舉手禮呼好，走路、答
數、軍歌也有個樣子，學習四項管道：聲力電話、救生衣、防毒面具、
CPR，三項組合操演：堵漏、救火、模型船，體驗打靶和跳水，游泳和5
分鐘水中不點地，整理自己的內務等，很多新的體驗。

老實說，一開始的前幾天，日子真的超難過，班長超兇，沒什麼自由時
間，不是站著就是坐著，一個姿勢就要維持很久，還不能隨便亂動，不
能講話，覺得怎麼和金福當初說地一派輕鬆的感覺完全不一樣。但約在
第七天肝膽相照，班長放下之前超嚴肅的表情後，之後的日子就越來越
習慣，一眨眼就結訓了，42天後重新回到社會，感覺很好，之後還有好
幾個月，祝我平安退伍吧！

By the way, 我抽到的單位是左支部汽車隊，兵科是補給士，根據大隊
長和長官說是個爽兵，雖然無法達成最初上船的願望，但相信只要抱持
正面開放的心，一定也可以發現新的體驗。

P.S. 雖然我新訓的隊伍號稱「魔鬼七中隊」，但感覺沒有班長敘述地
那麼恐怖，也許是幸運地魔鬼班長們老的老，退的退，帶我們的班長有
的雖然很兇，但仍稍微好點。結訓驗收認真考試的感覺也挺不錯的，朝
「大屌鯊」（隊徽）的境界邁進。
