Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!
Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!
OUT everybody OUT!
Jesus! not again this night!
It was some minutes past midnight!
I was half dressed....just boxers and tank top!
Everyone was jumping down of bed and out of the room in darkness!
Quickly i grabbed on the clothes I had pulled off before I went to bed!
I just wore them over and put my leg in someone's bathroom slippers, someone had worn mine!...
As I hurried out i thought I grabbed at my pillowcase thinking it was the cover cloth....
I joined the hurrying majority to the parade ground....
Sounds of Whistles and shouting soldiers were everywhere.
Frrrrrrrrrrr!....(whistle blows)...FIRE!!!!
Double up! Double! Double! Double!
If you are walking,you are wrong!
Both those who wore nighties and those who were only on wrapper were running...it was a funny sight! But who had time for humour!
...half asleep-half awake ladies,everything was shaking everywhere..(u sabi ladies now with all the gadgets and endowment)
It was a terrible night...
A terrible night is *squat-sit-jump up* and roll call of each platoon member!
I kept curling up on my pillowcase to sleep each time the soldiers shouted *sit and squat* the whole time...!
It was much more exhaustive!
And those soldiers made a roll call of over 2,500 half-asleep Corp member one after the other other...platoon by platoon....
And we were sitting-squatting&jumping up the whole time!
We were in the cold night till past 4am when a guy fainted in my platoon!
Everyone was weak,sore and tired!
My eyes were heavier than 5kg dumbells...
We were dismissed...
Too tired to even grumble..
...i don't think my two eyes were opened fully all the way back...
Folks went to bath straight up anticipating the trumpet to go off again at 5am!
I just climbed my bunk and my eyes were shut!...Sleep is expedient!
*Corporal SMART can scream heaven and hell today...i don't care!....i am so not going for any silly parade even if the trumpet goes up....*
My sidey won't let me be...she enjoined me to atleast bath...After many push and push...i got up to bath....half asleep the whole time....
Many were anticipating the trumpet as if it was the trumpet of the end-time....the rest of us didn't care! We just slept off.
The only trumpet was that of breakfast at 8am.
FOOD!
It was the only call i was willing to yield to!..
After breakfast,Many were going for their interest Skill acquisition and Entrepreneurship development (SAED) classes...
Those soldiers were at it again...chasing people out of the hostels,so I dragged myself down to the catering session....
Many of us went there to sleep...
There was an omen of weakness in the camp today...sluggish, tired and sleepy faces stared back at each other and at soldiers....
Thanx to those evil soldiers who made sport of us!!!!!
Evening parade was sharp and brief today!
The soldiers were seeing the aftermath of their last night over-drilling....some apologised to their assigned platoon!
Everyone was threatening that if any fire alarm comes up again...the soldiers would have to carry everyone out one by one by force out of the room.
...for me, it was an early light out after dinner!
The soldiers have maltreated government children!!!
