First Day of Service

Yesterday was the first day of my service.  I was a little tired and couldn't write about it yesterday.

Actually this first day changed my mind about military service to some extent.  Early morning I went to a place to know where should I pass my training.  After half hour they gathered us as a group of 500-1000 soldiers and told us some details about our training then split us into smaller groups based on our camp codes.

My training camp is in a small city near Qazvin (I'll write its name later) and is 110 miles far from home at Tehran (or something around that).  I've been there (in Qazvin) for 2-2.5 months in first year of my university (4 years ago) to pass one of my university courses.  I would say that Qazvin was absolutely better than Semnan (where I was studying at university).

I have no idea about this small city near Qazvin but this area should have a very cold weather in next couple of months.  I'm familiar with Quazvin from the past and this is a good point for me.

Now I have a better feeling about my training.  There are many similarities for Qazvin and Semnan and my experiments in Semnan can help me to pass training easier.  Semnan and Qazvin are two cities in east and west of Tehran with a short distance and they're capitals of Semnan and Qazvin provinces respectively.  Although they're very similar from strategic point of view but Semnan has less population and warmer weather.  Qazvin itself has some famous historical places with good people.  They're originally Turk and speak Turkish.

They told us that we can go back to home until Thursday (tomorrow).  Then we should be at a bus terminal tomorrow morning and they will move us to camp.

Hopefully I'll write more details here on our first holidays.
