    Sholom, keep doing us proud. you give a lot of chayos to all our boys that are serving in the IDF and all of us back in the Heights

    Very nicely said. And since your lucky enough to be in the Golani Brigade; you can serve as a shliach, and spread the good word. You can start by helping/showing your friends how to shoot at the enemy and not directly at other soldiers. Golani has a alarming history of tragic mistakes, so that would be a start, and a great mitzvah.

    All smiles baby.

    Be safe.
