AN EXPERIENCE WITH A MILITARY OFFICER

Source
Hi,
It's good and great to bring forth my entry in response to the prompt of this week 64 edition 1. Trusting that every participant is bubbling okay.

Since I started growing up, I have never dreamt that I would be confronted by a military personnel before. I so much fear the military personnel, when ever I see them as if the earth should open for me to enter. At times I fidget at the mention of their name.

It was this day after a powerful Sunday worship across the school because I lived on the campus which made me never to acquaint myself with the outside surrounding which makes it difficult to track the strategic areas especially for military zones.

Stepping out this fateful day with my beautiful ear piece inserted into my ear listening to cool music, I was lost totally because the melody was super and my spirit really got connected such that I barely notice the movement of vehicles, motorcycle etc while others trek with their legs just as I attempted that day.

As I moved out that day, I never knew that I supposed not to receive phone calls at the military check point in fact I didn't know it was even a check point at the first place because it doesn't look like it at all. I suddenly heard someone calling hey,hey stop there and come here. Hmm I started shivering with great fear.
I summoned courage and came to see the soldier calling. He said I should remove phone from my pocket, remove the sim card, battery, cover and put them separately in the various pockets in my shirt and trousers. Thereafter he said don't ever remove them....and I shouted Yes sir. Hmmm I walked out the environment check point with speed without looking fear till I got to hostel.

That experience became indelible for me whenever I remembered it. So soldiers can be funny like this and sometimes can proof very tough.
I thought soldiers are always brutal in their dealings with bloody civilian like me but that day was a different moment in my life.

In another development, I was on transit to a long destination. As soon as we got to the military check point again, some few drivers that couldn't cooperates with them suddenly they were asked to come out of the car and started doing frog jump. They were almost naked completely because I couldn't see any clothes on then apart from boxers. They sweet and looked very dirty because of the punishment given unto them.
It's not good to fall into the hands of the these military personnel.

CONCLUSION

I would like to conclude that in as much as discipline is key to the development of human being the way some soldiers handle it is very bad and it creates a lot of false scenes. How can you be punish for the crime you know nothing about? Probably because you refused to tilt according to their desire or wishes that becomes a matter to them. I dislike such display.
I learnt that whatever you are innocent of may not hurt you. Do your part by not trespassing against the law.

Thanks so much for all your comments.
