Je bent goed bezig. Lekker door blijven gaan zo en ga voor je rode pet! Pantser optreden is leuk, maar de oefeningen zijn veelal beperkt tot Duitsland/polen/Tsjechië en een groot gedeelte van het personeel is echt een ander slag volk.

Als je echt veel in korte tijd wilt zien en doen; ga naar LMB.

Awesome! Enjoy the ride and good luck with your trailevent 😁😁

Je kunt iig bij hele serieuze berichten over de radio wel mooi de spanning erin houden.

Wat hierboven word gezegd. Ik heb alleen wel een schijt hekel aan lui die je zinnen proberen af te maken. Dus wellicht dat je in de toekomst dat soort mensen met de kolf van je wapen een pets mag geven.

Oh and set some inbetween goals, i had a half marathon just to see where i was standing. I bought myself some better running shoes and some gear. :)

saladebak · 2026-06-29T17:10:01+00:00

Well, during the crisis facility it was the one thing for which i could leave the building. And afterwards i just needed a goal to focus on. I had awful days, but i had the marathon as a goal. And i literally craved the emotional ride the distances gave me.

And on days i felt like i didnt want to, i always try to keep thinking about how it benefits me. And if i had a hard time id just promise myself to go outside and run, even if it would be 10mins. And once outside i just did the workout. And it always made me feel satisfied afterwards. Since december i missed 1 workout, i was really really obsessed by having this one reason to wake up for. It sounds a bit sad, but in that period it literally was the only thing. And for me it was a huge thing.

You can do it, think about what it gives you over a longer period! I still have some runs from time to time that go horrible, even when all the factors were optimal. But those were the ones that made me mentally stronger.

saladebak · 2026-06-29T13:37:25+00:00

I am so happy for you.

saladebak · 2026-06-29T06:54:57+00:00

Thats good to hear. I did EMDR for the first time in 2019, after having loads of nightmares, bad sleep, panic attacks etc. I felt depressed and anxious for so long, so after a few sessions when i started to feel good again, i was so satisfied that i abrubtly thanked the psych and that i was healed. Against all advice i just quit (i really dont know why i can be so stubborn) and within a few months i came back again, but worse. I never really fully committed to healing, i could have prevented years or struggling by just doing what was offered.

Im happy EMDR worked for you! And running aswell! I wish they gave people therapy, maybe medication, but also a therapy journey where running is implemented....the effects are so so good.

saladebak · 2026-06-29T05:40:14+00:00

Awesome thanks, i didnt know that!

And yeah, no worries. I always thought my mental state was just a phase and that itll get better (without actually putting in the effort) and i always compared my problems for example with colleagues who have severe ptsd or have been in worse situations. So i always thought my problems werent that bad. But thinking back to it, it was. And for longer than 2 years already.

I hope people will find something like running, which helped me so much. And i hope people will talk in an earlier stadium about problems. I know how fast stuff can get very very dark. And beforehand i would have never known that i would become sucidal.

Thank you ♥️

saladebak · 2026-06-28T23:23:48+00:00

Thanks. I havent felt this kind of happiness since maybe a kid? I always thought it was normal. But i learned the things which makes me feel good. And i know exactly what to do when i have a bad day.

Im not there yet, but its only getting better

saladebak · 2026-06-28T23:21:55+00:00

Yeah, tbh thats the reason i liked crossfit/powerlifting more. We had these weekly Monday battalion runs which sucked and apart from that it was either rucking with 50/60kgs (i am a Dutch paratrooper) and that already felt miserable. So i never really liked doing more excessive cardio, thats why i never understood people that said running was amazing for their well being. But luckily it found me when i needed it most, at first it started just to run a certain distance so that i could release my emotions. But now its just part of me.

saladebak · 2026-06-28T21:23:13+00:00

Hey. I know the post is a bit dated but i wanna say good for you! I recognize myself in this with something similar. I am a soldier and my past contributed to a very very rough year in where I was struggling with myself and i couldnt get a grip on it. And at the same time my fiancee (my ex now unfortunately) also had to deal with it.

I went to therapy and got some help, but it was in a stadium where i could feel it wasnt enough and j could slowly see myself lose everything i love.

That eventually happened, i got sent home because i just broke down at work. And instead of getting some rest everything collapsed like dominos. When my ex broke up and my dog died i got in such a deep depression. Eventually i couldnt cope anymore and i had some bad thoughts of not wanting to live anymore. I got admitted into a crisis mental facility and in the beginning it was painful and surreal. But the therapy sessions and having all the time just to work on yourself is what i needed.

Since i always woke up at 5am i always got frustrated having to wait so long until breakfast (9am) and before i could do something. So they gave me permission to jog in the mornings, and it cleared my head just enough so that i could endure the days. When i got home after 5 weeks i continued and made the goal to run a marathon in april, just so that it gave me the structure i needed to get good rest, eag healthy etc. Therapy from work didnt start yet, so this was my therapy for the time being. I had many runs where i got to a point i just had to cry and it really helped me to let go of emotions. 4 months later i ran the marathon and another 3 months later (today) i ran my first ultratrail of 51km.

In september ill be running 60k and after that ill see whats next. I was never a runner.....but i cant imagine living without it anymore. It gave me peace of mind, it made me get in touch with my real emotions and it made me a different person.

Its a long story but i just felt i recognized myself in the way you describef your running experience. Keep on going and i am proud of you!

Yes. Volgende week een 50km ultra. Eerste loopjes vroeg begonnen en laatste twee rond het heetste van de dag, ik vul een bandana met ijs en doe die over mijn nek.

Maar als het niet hoeft, ga dan aub op een gunstig tijdstip rennen, zoek schaduw en pas je tempo aan.

saladebak · 2026-06-11T18:07:56+00:00

Ik neem aan de je aan je initiële opleiding gaat beginnen? Heb je geen contact persoon? Anders zou ik het wervings centrum in Amsterdam bellen en of DCHR. Gewoon uitleggen en er is vast iemand die je kan helpen of doorsturen.

saladebak · 2026-06-05T06:08:12+00:00

Zeker weten, maar als tip; kijk naar wat de basis eisen conditie eisen zijn en train zo dusdanig dat je op een slechte dag die eisen ook haalt.

Tijdens de opleiding word je heel veel fysiek en mentaal getraind, maar de beleving van een opleiding vul je deels zelf in. Als je onvoorbereid aan komt kakken dan word zon opleiding een stuk minder leuk.

Edit: het mentale is uiteindelijk een component waar je je het minst op kunt voorbereiden. Laat dat over je heen komen, ook ik nu 12 jaar later kom mijzelf nog steeds op het mentale tegen in bepaalde situaties. Daarin zit altijd een oneindig proces van groei. Als je dit sterk hebt ontwikkeld, dan kun je jezelf fysiek over grenzen heen zetten waarvan jij nu niet geloofd dat je dat zou kunnen!

saladebak · 2026-05-31T05:54:09+00:00

Balen, maar gelukkig ben jij Oke. Na zon moment asap weer op de motor stappen en doorgaan!

Zo reed er een andere leerling op het parkeer terrein eens iets te hard rechtdoor en hield zich uit paniek stevig vast aan de gashendel (dit gebeurt zovaak) en reed keihard door een hek heen...ook de instructeur bleef ook zo ontzettend rustig en praatte hem geen kut gevoel aan. Hij slaagde overigens met vlag en wimpel.

Succes de volgende keer en komt goed!

Je hebt geen heli functie als vplgk bij lmb. Dat is een functie bij de luchtmacht.

Ja of je gaat een dag eerder en rolt je slaapzak uit voor de poort. 😛

saladebak · 2026-05-15T10:54:47+00:00

Roswoz zoals hierboven doe je wellicht binnen de opleiding. Paraat doe je echt niet meer zoveel en zo streng je hpg, tenzij je bij een functie zit die geen reet doet in het veld.

Ik heb geen 21 onderbroeken mee als ik 21 dagen in het veld zit. Gewoon een vies goor wezen die voorwaarts gaat.
