Orientation Camp(Day 3 in camp)

1/8/21

Happy new month my readcash family.👪

I'm saying from my side here that God will make this month productive for us all by His grace.

Back to my update for today.

Today is my 3rd day in camp. Any free time I have, I put down a bit of each day's article and publish it after editing all at night. So, it's night here in Nigeria and we are done with today's activities.

So, yesternight, I almost got punished alongside my hostel mates and some other people. It happened that we were asked to come outside for party at 8pm.

Being tired, I decided not to go, that I was going to relax and rest after a tiring parade.

Not quite long I heard the sound of the trumpet followed by an announcement that all Corp members should come outside. Some of us still ignored the call, blaming tiredness. Then the soldiers came in to send us out themselves after collecting our ID cards.

We were told that we would undergo rigorous punishment after the party by 10pm, I was already scared 😨😳. At that point I wanted to say " I'm no longer interested in serving the nation.

But to cut the long story short, the party extended till 10:30pm, and we were pardoned as well.

So, today is almost a free day for us all. As the morning is for activities which are not necessarily compulsory. You go at your own will.

On hearing the sound of the bugle by 5:20am, I immediately logged on to my phone, where a message was waiting for me.

I told us yesterday that I joined the volleyball team, so this was the message

So, my free day was interrupted by the message above. We were meant to practice by 12 noon but they moved it to 7:00am.

I went some minutes to 7, but I was the only ones present, the instructors were unhappy but started training only me until 8:30am. I was told another time would be scheduled.

I got in, dressed up and went for the NCCF. From service I went straight back to volleyball Court for training. I met 3 other ladies, the trainer gave up on us after an hour because we were not making any progress. I was tired though because I didn't get to rest after the morning training because I went to church.

We went out in the evening after meal and siesta, parade drills and Man O War.

As expected, the rehearsals were very tiring. This was because the swearing in is tomorrow (Monday) and we needed to attain some level of satisfaction from the soldiers in charge of our training.

The soldiers showed a very high level of discipline and they demanded the same from us. To the extent that even if you are a minute late for rehearsals, you're well punished. It was that simple!😁

Although, considering that it was only a paramilitary training, they were also very friendly and approachable.

In a way, I usually looked forward to the period of rehearsals. You want to ask me why?

Because the different styles of marching that some people exhibited were so funny and at times, even the soldiers were forced to laugh. 😂

A lady was literally dancing rather than marching. 😂😂 Of course, you must have seen many short video clips of such occurrences on social media.

I pray my platoon wins lots of medal in the upcoming competition between Platoons. Our volleyball team (only ladies) in particular.

It was normal to have a good rest after a day filled up with different activities. But the urge to sleep quickly will disappear after over 30 minutes of crouching and frog jump🤣🤣🤣🤣, if one gets disciplined, so I do not wish to have this experience. I will abide by rules and yield whenever the bugle sounds, no matter how inconvenient it is for me.

Tomorrow is my platoons day, which means we'll cheer every activities that takes place in camp tomorrow. Starting from the prayer, praise and worship session to the cooking, sanitation and other activity.

I'm one of the choristers for tomorrow.

Till tomorrow.

Thank you so much for following.😍😍✌️✌️

Please advice: I try telling people here about Bitcoincash but they all seem so concerned about their account number. I told them no one needs their account number as all they need to do is log in to read.cash and post their article after registering.

They said at least they still have to convert the money in order to withdraw and be able to spend it. I don't know how else to make them understand and join the community.
