OMG, I can't believe I forgot that. This three-day weekend is WAY too easy to
get used to! Sunday is, in Israel, a dreaded term, like Monday is here...
(but I manage to keep them mentally seperated by thinking of Sunday in the US
in English, and Yom-Rishon in Israel in Hebrew... Sunday = good, Yom Rishon =
bad, doesn't matter that they're the same thing! ;-)

I greatly doubt it. Unless you sign up for more than the required time, you
get paid peanuts, literally... barely $75 a month unless you're in actual
combat-zones. Most soldiers come home to their parents whenever they leave
their base, 'coz it's pretty hard to live on that...
