For a couple weeks I participated in the SAHAL program, which is essentially volunteering with the IDF. You are helping out the military by doing the BS work that would normally be done by soldiers. Here we are at Hatzerim Air Base in the Negev desert cleaning UZIs, M-16s, and Galils. Our supervisor Oren, nicknamed "Vegas" by one of us because he had spent time there, was really nice - even though he would confide in me that American girls drove him up the wall, especially when you had to deal with a bunch of 'em at once. No shit, chaver!
The newest recruits had to sleep in those tents in the background. Suckers!! Also funny, the soldiers on the base who had screwed up and lost their gun (or misplaced it) had to walk around with fake guns painted red and made of wood! Talk about shaming someone into never making a mistake again...
