I attended my first 'RVP' a while back. That means we 'assisted' the police in a raid. And even though we were ultimately not required and saw absolutely no action, I did find it exciting.
The job doesn't come down as much. It simply requests for you to 'RVP' at a certain police station. Once there you sit in on the briefing and then leave, en masse, to whatever it is that's happening.
I'd say there are two types of 'surreal'. Large, blatant surreal and gentle surreal. This entry was gentle surreal.
Apologies for huge delay in writing . . . the usual writers block mixed with a change of circumstances.
I'm now working on the car. So, most of my posts from now on should be FRU related. But I still have a back log of some jobs from working on the truck to put up. This means there will be an overlap of some entries in the next couple weeks.
