BREAKING NEWS:
No more blood tests. Got a health profile. No problems. YES! Receiving enlistment date in about 2 weeks.
Possessing nothing but a bit of Hebrew and some very valuable towel-folding experience, a once and future college drop-out chronicles her first and second attempt at aliyah, with ample blog-time given to random people she meets along the way. Now armed with useless life skills, she returns to academia. Watch as she attempts to figure out how to manage.... Things are bound to go wrong, but there's bound to be some kind of heart-warming message in all of this.

I don't know you, but since I've been reading this for a short while I think I'm entitled to shout HURRAY!
Mazel tov!
Anyways, now feel free to pay it forward. A friend of mine, he is 21, speaks Hebrew, just made aliyah, etc. is trying to get drafted by the IDF into a "good unit." They also keep delaying his enlistment date by like 6 months to a year. Do you know anyone he should/can contact so as to avoid all the pitfalls of the Israeli bureaucracy? I think he is going to Haifa tomorrow to try and manuever his way into a position, but I think Tzahal is a lot about connections, and well, I don't think he has any. Any suggestions?
thanks, thanks!
as for advice with the army enlistment center....i dont really have any. im not entirely sure what i did right and what i did wrong. i guess what i can recommend is that you tell you friend to be in constant touch with the army through the phone and to get pushy if he has to.
