My First Friend In Army

Alex reminisces about his first step in the army:

"I was then lead into a hallway, where they took my pink IC. There was no glorious ceremony, them taking away your IC and giving you a 11B. They just took it, like it was just another discount card for a shop. I didn't even have a last look at it. I waited, and waited. I had no friends there, not until I saw one. He sat next to me at the lecture hall, and smiled at me. I didn't know who he was, but smiled back nevertheless. I tried to start a conversation with him, simply by asking what school he was from. He looked at me, bewildered, and said, "We from the same school, la" He became my first friend in army."

Haha. I'm that person.

Forty-two more days and I'll be free.
