Day 13: omoge show me your power

I did the Man 'o' war drills!!!!

Yay!!!! Today has been amazing. I had heard that we (platoon 10) were having our Man 'o' war drills today (actually Billy told me), so I took a bath, wore my clothes...only for me to be told that it was in the afternoon. Wo! I just stayed back in the clinic. We probably had patients sef (well now you know, I'm writing this days after... I'm sorry guys 😭😭😭).
Here's a quick highlight:

-Amurt: well these people came to speak and interview us as regards working with them as doctors in this state. Their package is nice and it seems like a whole lot of adventurous fun! But let's face it, they looked at me and said something about me not going to be able to do the work and also me relocating...oh well, let's just conclude they've rejected me already but thats ok..." I've said thank you for their offer but no thank you this way but I'll like to work with them later"

-Man 'o' war drill: was amazing! It was like re-living what Ogochukwu Enemuoh (my secondary school classmate) had said about "sea school" that year. It was just our platoon at the drill and they started by leading us in a session of funny songs. You know as their songs dey be now? The ones that have "marry navy you go born fish", "je je we dey go" etc... something like that.
After that they told us about the drills and then we started and we took pictures. I did everything except one which I wasn't able complete because of my height or so...but I attempted and they asked that I just skip it. It was fun!!!! But the body pains await me...I know🤣🤣🤣😁

-Carol practice. Platoon 10 is not carrying 10th position oh. We started practicing for tomorrow... today 🤦 It's not easy deciding what songs but we've come up with something.
I had to work through the day so as not to make it awkward/unfair going got drill and then practice when I'm supposed to be on duty.

-Platoon Quiz. This held today and I hear that the final stage is later.

That's it folks.
Because I can serve in the army!!!

😁 Me in my parachute outfit

Omoge show me your power!!!

With heart and strength,

Day 40: all join, na our papa land

Happy new year!!!!! Yessir! I've been on a break with this blog. It's been one big ride with this service thing oh because a lot of us left Ebonyi state for the holidays after showing up at our PPA. Now we are back or in transit back to really serve our Fatherland. Me? So....I redeployed!!! To FCT-Abuja. Yes, I did. Let's not discuss about my reasons but I did. I'll miss my Ebonyi family but honestly, na earth so  we go still dey communicate. I came into Abuja and went to start my post-redeployment procedure. I've made journeys to the secretariat and I'm almost done...or so I think. I have a new state code but I'm yet to get my PPA. You won't believe it!!!! I saw Lambert and I've seen another girl from Ebonyi camp...and she said there's more if us. Lol! But all na service sha. The queue here is mad, yeah, it's dissolved into one whole soup but I'm not about that pushing life. Ah! I've seen another person. loooooo...

Day 7: Jonah then Joseph

I served punishment oh!!! Today was amazing...well in the end sha. The day started with Felicity and I going for parade. Yes, I went by 5am to the parade ground. I was so clueless!!! 🤣🤦. Apparently our Muslim brothers and sisters go to pray while Christians pray on the parade ground. We had praise and worship songs and then the anthems (Nigeria and NYSC). I didn't even know that the second stanza of our nation's anthem is now referred to as "the national prayer". After that we had a talk by a platoon, I think it was on integrity...abeg don't blame me, it wasn't so interesting but the lady did well. It wasn't a long one. I was really expecting the drills and the singing that comes with it, only for me to hear that we should go. Me that doesn't know how things really go, I was even ready to go back. I hung with my platoon trying to make sure I didn't go astray. Next thing I hear that the ladies in the platoon should wait behind. We waited and ...

Day 15: Emergency emergency!

Emergency, emergency, you never see me coming through! Say what!??!??!!!! So today was cool. They played volleyball but I don't think we have concluded sha...I mean the finals. Dr Ken (did I mention him? He's the doctor sent by Ministry of health to this clinic to help out) handed over to Dr Chris. I hear Dr Chris is a fun person and nice to work with. Dr Ken was so nice and calm. Thank you sir. Another thing, Platoon 10 was in the kitchen today. My people picked beans tire today but TomTom says Ore was just taking pictures 😁 But she worked sha and was tired sef. We (Mini, Anita, Ore and I) went to collect the money they were sharing to us. Let us pray guys, that the true wealth of this nation will be reflected in our bank accounts and the money we get from our government...Amen. Today TomTom wrote an exeat for me, that I'm causing emotional trauma to Mini...lol!!!!!!! When Mini was taking P-Alaxin for malaria or the time around his taking it; TomTom will blame e...
