musings #1

I remember about a year ago when I was still a trainee, (woah. a year already) there used to be this running joke amongst some guys. The platoon IC would always be in front asking the section ICs for the strength (number of people present) and some would just deadpan "very strong" or "okay" or "ninety-two without buffs and gear"

And some of the times, they weren't even trying to be funny. They were just answering the question the way they saw fit to, just to break out of the monotony. I never failed to be amused by that, even when it was my turn to do so.
