"Gadna" Week

"Gadna" Week is a challenging opportunity that has been given to students in the 11th grade. This week caused us know a little more about the army, it prepares us for the army activities. 3 months ago I participated in this trip and I have to admit that now I understand the real meaning of the army.

First of all, we arrived to a military base that is located in the south and on the first day we were given uniforms and divided in to groups. I felt proud to wear the army uniform. Everything there was like the real army, we slept in tents, that were a bit crowded and the shower stall was common to all the girls, it made me feel uncomfortable. The meals included basic food that I am not used to eat but after 2 days I started to adapt to all these new things.

Furthermore, the most thing that I was concerned about was the physical activities. The commander ordered us to run around the base in limited time and if someone didn't obey the order, the commander ordered him to do a few sit-ups. During the second and the third day we did physical activities, that were exhausting, but I have to admit that I surprised my self. I succeeded in all the tasks and sometimes I did them better than the boys. The most interesting and exciting days were the fourth and fifth days when we learned about the rifle. It was so exciting to shoot, I felt like a real soldier.

Finally, the "Gadna" Week was an unforgetable trip that gave me a lot of experience and information that will help me in the future. I enjoyed a lot to participate in this trip and I had a grate opportunity to know new friends. it was wonderful.
