Hi,

I´m not sure if the leadership has changed the rules, but nowadays you see almost nobody of the ranks Sgt and higher without a gold Leistungsabzeichen. I had to do a 30 km march with 10 kg ballast, within 300 minutes. Then we had to achieve the German Sports Badge, a CPR /First Aid training within the last 3 years, and fulfilling the requirements for the Schützenschnur in gold not in two but just in one weapon. I made it with a pistol. When you had a good conduct record, there was no obstacle to get the badge.

By the way, I´m going to send you the two items within the next days. Can you tell me the address where I shall send it to?

Oh, and don´t bother, the best you can do in return is promoting the positive feelings you have about my country, that´s all I wish for.

Sincerely,

Michael
