Back from an overnight at Han's place. Thanks bro for opening up ur place for a nite of bond n fun...Coulnd't realli stay awake cos gonna be needing e energy when i get back ta camp..There was clean fun of course, which was a comfort.

It soon came to an end. E hols ending n time to report for duty. As usual, life was more than colourful for me...hectic n confusing tt is...

There was my mate in his section field camp who was totally worn out and was utterly careful wif his weapon when checking clear...He made sure e chamber was clear of any ammunition, bt in due err, he forgotten about his magazine of blank rounds...He cocked his SAR 21 rifle, ready to end his check by squeezing e trigger...He reminded himself as he said, 'remember not to Negligent Discharge(which meant officers could charge e joker 14 days Restricted Privilege where he will not get to book out for 2 weeks n every 2 hrs of admin time to report to Operations room to take some 'firing')'..as he was thinking bout tt, he hoped tt e new year could be well spent back at home wif his family..in desperate tiredness, he wanted e clear to be done with n thus, he pulled e trigger...

Bang

It wasn't supposed to be a BANG. Tts it. He stood there, stunned, wif all e rest of e wing starring at him. His platoon commander came, took him, n shamed him before e entire wing. He demanded his actions to be accounted for before e crowd n did it in so to guilt him, to make him reminded of e foolish thing he juz did..so e commander declared 'officer cadet so n so, is gonna report for RP at least 14 days due to his ignorance..'. He dint blame his commander, he saw it coming, he told me he prayed bout when he was bout to squeeze e trigger...

He showed no signs of anger. Juz disappointment. For e night, he couldn't speak much, as talkative he was, i guess he's shaken. i slept with him, guilty n shameful at his moment of folly. Finally, officer cadet so n so took it in his stride, he's gonna take it like a man. Tt was his decision. So he said, 'let it be then'. n e next morn, e world cont spinning, tough training resumed, i could hear his mind clearly sounding-let it go..his face reflects it all..i pitied him..
