Summary: | Of the four months he spent at that base, he remembers the first weapon he got his hands on, a 1936 rifle used during the civil war. It was one of the most exciting things he experienced, so at first he decided to become a gunner. Then he was transferred to Astorga where, already as a professional soldier, he began to be assigned missions. He didn't like the place very much, but it was there that he started his first combat without direct fire. He was in several bases during the next three years, and was sent to secret missions in Kosovo and Lebanon, where he came to know what it was like to cross fires and risk his life for the conviction of defending a country he already felt as his own. De los cuatro meses que estuvo en esa base recuerda la primera arma que tomó en sus manos, un fusil del año 1936 utilizado durante la guerra civil. Fue de las cosas más emocionantes que vivió, por eso decidió inicialmente ser artillero. Luego fue trasladado a Astorga donde, ya como soldado profesional, le empezaron a asignar misiones. El lugar no le gustaba mucho, pero fue ahí donde inició sus primeros combates de fuego no directo. Estuvo en varias bases durante los siguientes tres años, y fue enviado a misiones secretas en Kosovo y el Líbano, donde conoció lo que era el fuego cruzado y arriesgar su vida por la convicción de defender un país el cual ya sentía como propio. |
