Military Service

Military service (compulsory) Stationed at a camp The discipline, not too tough unless you had never done up your bed. They gave us some old German rifle not Shooting anyone, but for training. I liked to go guard duty patrolling the perimeter There I could sit behind a big stone and smoke The worst thing that happened to me in the Military service, sitting behind a rock I had Forgotten my matches and had to cut me Patrolling short. From time to time I stayed out too long and it Ended in a fortnights jail, this suited me to find Books to read and my room. The rest of my military service was a waste of time.
