welcome to hell

An old acquaintance of mine recently received a certain letter stating he should come down to my camp for a vocational assessment. Yes that same old letter of doom, I received about a year and a half ago.. and so he came down for the va... (yes some of my batch mates thought it would only be fair to return the favor and give a friendly 'welcome to hell' shout out')

So I took the liberty of giving him some advice and letting him know what he was getting himself into. silly guy put out a 5/5 rating of interest in the interview.. oh what matters, back then I put a 2/5 and somehow the interviewer saw fit to change it to 3/5 despite my reluctance.. and there's been many cases of 1/5 s getting pulled in as well.. (now we're starting to see how SAF works)

anyway now he's getting a little nervous about it and asking me about mortality rates in this camp.. It's not too bad really, what worries me is the injury rates which sky rockets. 

but then again, there's always 2 sides to the story. and I'm living proof of this. I'm still in one piece, am still capable of expressing emotions, and am only semi-depressed at times. hah, okay..

bottom line is ns sucks wherever you go, or to phrase it more positively:

there is no perfection in wherever you go.. and you can only try to make the best or worst of it..
