As some of you know, I have been in service for 6 months in the Austrian Armed Forces. That’s the time every able-bodied male Austrian male citizen  has to serve in our country.

I wanted to extend that time by starting a non-commissioned officer career. To be able to do that I planned to undergo an eye surgery cause cause I’m myopically  (–9,25 dioptres, wearing contact lenses usually).

Unfortunately there is a stupid regulation for NCO candidates: You can not enter the NCO training if you had an eye surgery in the past! WTF? I could take part in a deployment abroad though, but after 3 years I would have the leave the army, with no change to get promoted or things like that.  This means no army career for me!

.

Maybe the couldn’t think of an otaku as tank commander? Are there any otaku-soldiers out there?

.

That’s why I have to get a job in the civilian world now. Have sent out application documents to a few companies and waiting for the responses.

Would like to work as a hardware/software salesman or something like that. Having the newest hardware around you doesn’t sound that bad.

.

And helping noobs to find the right hardware for them and answering their computer questions sure is something that needs to be done. (The clip is not really related but too funny not to be posted.)

.

Any Austrian readers who know a company who’s searching for guys like me?

Here is the Teni photosession finally! Be prepared for some Gothic Lolita fanservice and as she is a cast-off I guess drooling can’t be avoided ^_^

Kinda sleepy today, but after some RedBull Cola and taking GL pantsu shots I’m fully awake. (If this combination doesn’t wake you up you are most likely dead)

Ok, lets get back the figure: Teni was already released last year wearing a red dress. I’m glad Griffon Enterprises decided to release the original black version this January.

For those who don’t know her: Teni is a character from Ikki Tousen Dragon Destiny. She is shown in  her “battle gear” in which she fights against Ryomou on a random-graveyard in episode 4 & 5. (That’s why I choose a pic from Glendalough, renowned for its Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century. Visited the monastery four years ago on my Ireland trip.)

Teni no Theme from the OST below:

Love her detailed blue eyes.

Gothic Lolitas with swords ftw!

Her bow which is Tenis main weapon is missing though…

Nicu corset-style dressu, would take some time to unbox her @ RL orz

GL-pantsu-shot and random GL-dress-fetishism-shot above.

As it’s already quite warm @ my place today (20°C), let’s undress Teni a little bit xD

She comes with a second torso to give you the ability to show her in a battle damaged version.

GL nipplegate get!

As you might have already seen above Teni is standing on a gravestone…

…which is not mounted to the base!!! Was a little bit afraid that she might fall over from  time to time. But the sculptor did a great job cause this figure is perfectly balanced. I’m displaying her without the base cause there isn’t much space left on my shelves, again!

Hope you liked the pics. I’m really sry but atm I’m not really able to pull of awesome stuff or be very active in the community. Didn’t thought that it is that hard to stay up to date if you are @ the army during the whole week.

And as I’m already speaking about the army:

Ze hikky got a rank upgrade last week! My rank is Gefreiter now. I’m not really sure what’s the equivalent in English. I guess it’s Private (OR-2) but according to the Austrian Armed Forces homepage it is Lance Corporal. Any army specialist here?

.

A quick post/satus message:

Believe it or not… but I survived one week without ze internets!

Surprisingly I didn’t miss it very much, cause you have to think about so much other stuff in the first week.

At the first day I was freaking out about the amount of stuff you have to fit into your locker ^_^

But after a few days you get used to all those things and to the daily schedule.

StG 77 A1 (aka Steyr AUG A1) GET! Cleaning this thing isn’t fun^^

The hardest part is to live without “the community”, your online-buddies and without getting the latest news.

And I guess I don’t have to mention how much work it was to go trough all the mails, RSS-feeds, Plurks and so on when I came home yesterday. Why can’t they have  WLAN hotspots @ ze Army? ORZ…

My Otaku survival kit^^

The released subbed Anime episodes from this week are already transferred to my Eee. I need some Fan service during the week too xD.

I will take the  train in 3 hours to arrive @ the barracks around 2130 UTC+1. Comments will be answered if I have time during the week or next weekend.
