A few months later I was in Lecce - Apulia at the NCOs School:(

In those years the military draft was, in Italy, mandatory

I studied five months military techniques to become an expert in explosives and mines and lead a team of explorers.
At the same time I also studied the Academic subjects giving, in military uniform, two exams.
The black basque and the orange insignia means I was in cavalry :rolleyes:

Catching up, and now I understand how they've kept the peace in Italy!!
Great pictures, Daniele!!

The hat on far tight, is that a Brazil tarp hat?
Good eye! This is how mine looked in Alaska in July, 2011:

I felt bad for that poor horse. I'm sure the guy at the stables seriously underestimated my weight, because the horse was huffing and puffing every time he had to haul my carcass up a hill. Even my wife, who weighs considerably less than I do, was riding a larger horse than mine. o_O
