My name is Yoav B and I'm a sodlier in the IDF (Israel Defense Force = Israeli army).
I've recently started a blog, where I share my thoughts and tell about my happenings.
I'd appreciate if you check it out and tell me what you think and what to focus on.
Hi Yoav, my name is Yoel I am always proud and happy to talk to one of my people. You are Israel and the Jewish people. The last time I was in Israel was for the month of May in Natanya as a volunteer in a school to help Israeli children learn English, I was there for Israel's 60th Anniversary may Israel have many more, some of my other friends volunteered for the Army bases, one went to a ammunition base. My prayer for all of Israel is to stay strong in Adonai the one G-D and for Israel's safety,
It means a lot to me. Feedback and comments (preferably on the posts in my blog) keep my writing on and on. I need to know that there's an audience who reads what I write.
Tell your freinds to visit the blog every once in a while.
By the way- were you born in Israel? YOEL is a common Israeli name... Don't your friends think it's perhaps strange or unusual?

Yoav, as Shov said do not give out to much information to the love patrol. in a real situation that could be the enemy trying to get your positions and any other information. Take it from the old guerrilla fighters shov and I will not steer you wrong. Get the girls name, telephone and address, when you get a pass you and love patrol can get together. Yoav your web page looks good.
Yoav, you are a trip! I absolutely love reading your blog. It has/you have precisely the kind of humor I love.
I have only read your "Love at first voice" and "Passover in the IDF: the true meaning of Freedom" entries so far, but cracked up at your description of the kitchen cleaning. And, after years of using a two-way radio (and a couple of those years as that voice at Control), I was really interested in how you felt about that feminine voice at "Control". I never really knew that the guys cared. Sometimes the coordination and responsibility of running things from that end was even more challenging than being on patrol. It's good to know that it was appreciated.
I can't wait to read more of your posts. You definitely have a fan here! Todah, 'Tricia
