outside the flat


The girls always pose for a picture no matter what position they find themselves in. Here AIM second class exercise and have some fun too.

Bomb blast victims? No, just a pilates class on the tarmac out the front of the flat. I'd join in but the Chief PTI June Cunningham would get upset if I didn't bring a towel so that has to be a good excuse.

On Friday the 30 January the Imigrasi staff went over to the Police Training area at Kelapa Dua (two coconuts) near Depok. The new class are undertaking their rookies here for a month before they start the grind of the Academy. They all looked very serious and had clearly done the hard yards.
I kept asking
"How is your holiday?"
"No no, not holiday, very hard".
When I asked whether they would prefer to be here or on a beach in Bali only one had kept his sanity and said "Bali".

I always thought being a sniper was easy but the seats are so small no wonder they made me an electrician. Here my failing eyesight saw me miss 1 out of 5 from 300 yards, and using a telescopic sight as well. Luckily the 44 gallon drums weren't firing back.

Just to get the feel of a sniper, the pot plant is planted alongside a very intense Pa Ferdinand.
