AWOL update

The other day I was resting when Sarah franticly came into my room and whispered that 2 soldiers in uniform were at the door looking for me.

I was sure that 2 MPs were standing there just waiting to take me away. Turns out that my unit sent two soldiers from the base (between Beer Sheva and Eilat) in order to take me down there.

Sarah and I sat them down, gave them some cold water and told them the whole story + gave them weeks and weeks worth of blood tests to bring back with them to the negev. After 10 minutes they realized that I was legit, and they sheepishly left for their 3 hour ride back.

The best part is that I have a friend in the same unit who faked being sick, and they let him go, sight unseen over the phone.

For those not familiar with the Israeli army - nothing I have told is out of the ordinary.
