Where AK relates his Reserves experience

AK was in the navy despite not being a regular in the SAF. He was on some sort of armed patrol boat. A sampan with a pistol if you will:

AK Silverune says:
SC

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
HEY!

AK Silverune says:
i didn't quite like reservist too

AK Silverune says:
it was a waste of my time

AK Silverune says:
luckily i wasn't required to stay in camp

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You are fortunate. This is a low-key.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
5 days.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
and it doesn't even count.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
XXXXXXX* training.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I have done it before.

AK Silverune says:
hah, i did something which involved me inhaling XXXXXXX

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Ahh... I didn't go in the XXXXX. I had claustaphobia.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
So, I reported sick.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
It was the XXXXXX.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
More than anything else.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Can't breathe in the XXXXXX.

AK Silverune says:
anyhow the navy reservist is a bit of a joke

AK Silverune says:
stay out for 3 weeks, except for a few nights, when we're on exercise

AK Silverune says:
the first we'd go home at 11am or before lunch, so they won't have to feed us.

AK Silverune says:
the frist week that is.

AK Silverune says:
anyhow, i'll talk to you tomorrow. going to sleep now.

AK Silverune says:
goodnight

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Good night!

AK is not alone in the bit about food. I recall that there was once when the officers wanted us to stay in the camp that night. Yet, those idiots haven't catered for dinner. Goddamn. They could walk in and out of camp at will, so, they could go buy food. Yet, somehow, for several hundred men, they forgot the dinner! Yes, the officers and senior NCOs completely forgot about the men. They forgot the dinners! And they were unwilling to let us out. In the end, after some negotiation and we were let out for a few hours to go get dinner. Funny eh?

Oh, the stories are, of course, deliberately vague, you never know which idiot is reading and if that idiot is vindictive.

*XXXXXX - Well, I'm not going to say. You never know how small-minded those fuckers can be. And they are fucking small-minded.
