A typical day in Camp

Now for the schedule....

Wake up as soon as you can. I usually wake up around 4am. Brush my teeth, wash my face (cuz I shower at night). Then I'll go back to sleep if I have time till the soldiers come to harass and chase us out for what I consider the worst part of the day.

5:30am - on the parade ground for morning devotion, announcements and the schedule for the day

6:00am - Nigeria wakes up

6:30am - morning drills

9:00am - personal time and breakfast is served

11:00am - lectures and S.A.E.D. (Skill Acquisition and Employment Development)

2:00pm - personal time and lunch is served

4:00pm - drills/ Man O' War activities

6:00pm - end of physical activities (Nigeria sleeps)

Lmao. That's usually the chant and response right before we start physical activities. Quite funny right? When your morale is low, you still gotta respond "HIGH". That gets annoying. On a rainy day, some dude got beat up by the rain and after it stopped, we gathered to march. When the soldiers started, they began with "MORALE" and everyone except dude responded normally, we all just heard "WET". It was pretty funny but it's one of those jokes you had to be have been there to find funny. The dude won the comedy section of the inter-platoon competitions. That's the only thing my platoon has won since. I can't even say much because I haven't done anything in that platoon but contribute money.

No shame in my game tho.
