GADNA




Hello,
Gadna was a fake army training camp. All I have to say about it is that it was an amazing experience. I luckily went into it with that mindset, because too many people were taking it too seriously and getting very upset about the conditions in the army. I truly enjoyed it and thought it was a great way to earn respect for Israeli soldiers. We learned how to crawl, run from a grenade, and shoot a M16. We also learned why it's so important to respect your uniform and how much effort went into being able to wear those uniforms. Here are some pictures from the week.

ps. We also went to a real air force base because my counselors dad is a pilot and her brother is a navigator.
