FReeper 'Uncle Miltie' Volunteers for the Israeli Defense Forces for 3 Weeks

Sar-El ^ | 5/15/24 | Uncle Miltie

[Uncle Miltie]

I'm at Seatac Airport (SEA) at the gate for my 10:00 A.M. flight LY9468 through Newark to Tel Aviv. I'm volunteering for the IDF through their organization "Sar-El". Usually, volunteers do warehousing work on base, live in the barracks, and eat with the soldiers.

I believe in transmogrification. For three weeks, I'm freeing up an 18-year-old Israeli kid with an M16 to go into Gaza and kill ham ass. I'm 62 and fit, and I can do the warehousing work that a soldier would otherwise have to do, and they can go to the front. Through the magic of transmogrification, I'm on the front lines of the fight for Western Civilization against the savage for 3 weeks.

You can do this too! Here's the Sar-El site:

SAR-EL - The National Project for Volunteers for Israel

https://www.sar-el.org/

Here's their Purpose statement:

"What is the purpose of Sar-El? Sar-El supporters come from around the world and from within our country to contribute to the security of the State of Israel by assisting on IDF bases in a logistical support role.

It is a unique volunteer experience fostering new friendships, greater understanding and the creation of a cultural exchange between Israel and the volunteers’ home countries.

Sar-El welcomes friends of Israel as volunteers, many of whom become “goodwill ambassadors” for our country. We are the only volunteer program that situates volunteers directly on IDF bases to work side by side with our soldiers."

They make this reasonably easy to accomplish. They have 1, 2 and 3 week programs. You have to get there, and arrange your own weekends, so it's not cheap.

There is a certain point in life where I cannot just flap my jaw and be a keyboard warrior. This is my time, and this is my way to do something concrete.

I'm arriving early, staying late, and have weekends off. I'll have lots of time to hang with the locals in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. My situational awareness is good, and the real threat level is relatively low (knives and car rammings are less frequent than shootings in Chicago!) It's my first trip to Israel, so it should be interesting.

Y'all keep the FReeper "allahu akhbar chorus" in line while I'm gone (they know who they are, and most of you do too). I'll be dark during the Israeli work week (Sun-Thu), as internet use is not allowed on base. I may check in on Friday or Saturday from the city. I'll do an after-action report on the plane back through Boston on June 10th, op sec being observed.

Keep up the good fight, and FREEP ON!

So you've now doubled down with new communist and Islamist propaganda that is also used by neo-Nazis. This article is literal communist propoganda from a East German propogandist.
Zionists sought to get Jews out of Germany and this involved paying ransom money to the Nazis. That makes Zionists victims of the Nazis, not collaborators. Antisemitism makes you stupid and traitor

Let’s hope he doesn’t involve himself personally in the genocide.

All Hamas obliterated by Israel. Let’s keep hope alive.

Hope all is going swimmingly through your adventure.
We’ll look for updates.
Until then, stay safe and enjoy making new friends as you let your light shine.

Godspeed

And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here I am; send me.”

Oh wow. Hmmmmmm

[Uncle Miltie]

I’m re-reading and understand your reference now. Many IDF women wear that T-shirt when not on duty.

[Uncle Miltie]

Did you make it there?

[Z28.310]

GM,
Not yet. Will have to wait, due to domestic situation which requires me CONUS for a bit longer. When this matter clears, I’ll apply!

As soon as I apply, I’ll PM you with details and progress.

Thank you for remembering and the followup.

When’s your next trip? I get the sense that you’re hooked =o)

Respectfully

[Uncle Miltie]

Yeah, I’m working on a two week posting in May. Did two weeks in September. See FReepmail.

Renewing tagline for weeks 6 & 7.

They blow up so fast, said the child’s mother to the auntie!

[Allegra]

Going back?

Thank you. May God protect you.

[Uncle Miltie]

Leaving Wednesday.

[SE Mom]

Godspeed and safe travels.

[Lurker]

Be safe.

Thanks very much, folks.

I am going with two good friends from the UK, and knowing a few other guys who will be in country at the same time. I’m the sort of guy who jumps in with both feet. I’ll probably go annually now.

No more sit reps. That was fun when everything was brand spanking new.

Keep up the fight for Western Civilization! And thanks again …
