Chronicles of a Corps Member: Day 2


Hey D,
D! Can I call you that?  I feel our relationship has evolved beyond this official nonsense.

I think these soldiers are mad at us for getting an education and graduating or I'm just a weak pussy,  at least I wasn't part of the 5 people who fainted during drills today. The Red cross had a field day!

Just day 2 and I've been called more names than when my neighbour caught me with her daughter. Otondo, white fowl, Unbeliever, Elede, Babalawo, Uncircumcised and these are the nice ones.

I made a few friends. Met an Hausa boy, let's call him Otio. Otio has one of those noses that consumes half the oxygen in the room. Boy had so much scars on his back, I was curious and asked about it, he told me at home, every Friday is "Whip day" and his father beats them just in case they had done something he didn't know of during the week. He smiles a lot for someone going through so much abuse at home and I liked that about him.

My friend Josh who lives in Abuja and served in stream 1 dropped by the camp to see me. We had lunch at Mammy and he said he liked the previous post so I'll try to keep up.

Babes, babes, babes. There's a girl I call Sugar... Wait, Soldiers are here, it's Lights out. Tomorrow man. Bye
