…the lighter side of National ServiceBy Michael JordanFood was often scarce, you often had to work guard detail on chilly nights and march in the blazing sun. But you made lifelong friends and there was a humorous side to the rigours of being a pioneer in the Guyana National Service.That was the period in Guyana when the slogan ‘every citizen a soldier’ was taken seriously in light of our territorial dispute with Venezuela. Young men and women enrolled in the Guyana National Service as a first step to a military career or to develop a skill.I was one of the hapless young men who enlisted, unsure at the time what career I wanted. We were first shipped off to Papaya Training Centre for a year of basic military training. There we gave up our ‘civvies’ for the ‘parrot green’ and white jerseys which was the National Service uniform.We soon got to know each other, mainly by nicknames. There was a skinny chap that we named ‘Geese’ because of his loud snoring; there was ‘Dread’, a Rastafarian; ’Fowl-cock’, who would clap his hands like wings and ‘crow’ like a rooster to wake up the barrack room; there was ‘Benjie’ (also known as ‘Kickers’ because he  landed on Papaya wearing a pair of ugly platform shoes, or ‘kickers,’ as we called them); there was  ’Old Face’, ‘Dutty Platoon’, ‘Dew Fish’, and ‘Jumbie Boor’. There was my friend ‘Eddie,’ who fell in love and got dumped so often that the guys made up a song about him (‘down in Papaya they got/ lots of pretty women/ steal Eddie’s money and break his heart..’) there was Sam, who didn’t know his right foot from his left (which meant that when everyone was marching left-right Sam would be going right-left)I was assigned to Mongoose Company and we were supervised by a Corporal named Shepherd. He was a loud-voiced individual who pretended to be more fearsome than he really was.MIDNIGHT P.T. WITH A DRUNKEN CORPORALBoys will be boys, and of course we would perform pranks on each other late into the night when we should have been resting for the next day of rigorous training.One night, Corporal Shepherd came in drunk after a visit to the staff club. He found most of us gallivanting and came up with the brilliant idea that he should take us for a midnight run.He lined us up outside the barrack-room, then led us on a run through a track around the training centre. At one point he tripped and fell flat on his face. Some of the pioneers laughed. This infuriated ‘Sheppy’, who made us run farther than he had intended.We had the last laugh, though. The following day, during the customary roll call on the drill square, Corporal ‘Sheppy’ was so hung over that his tongue got tied up trying to pronounce ‘Mongoose Company.’ (it came out as ‘Longoose Company’) A Sergeant Major we called ‘Chip Chip’ made him say it until he got it right.But if we thought we had it rough under ‘Sheppy’, we weren’t prepared for his replacement. This was Corporal Abel, a squatty, muscular man whose claim to fame was that he never smiled.Strange enough, this tough, unsmiling man was a Beatles and old Bee-Gees fan, who was always playing songs like ‘I started a joke’ or ‘The Sound of Silence’ and ‘Yellow Submarine.’Abel would wake us up before day-clean to wipe out the barrack-room, and he liked to dish out guard duty as punishment.But the pioneer ‘Benjie’, also called ‘Kickers’, seemed to relish getting on Abel’s bad side.It was Benjie who claimed that Abel once went to a staff party, stretched out his hand to a female staffer and said: ‘May I have a dance? I’m a corporal’). It was Benjie who once climbed into Abel’s room and made off with the corporal’s love letters.One afternoon,NFL Jerseys China Online, Abel came into the barrack-room and found Benjie loitering there. According to Benjie, Abel ordered him to jump through the nearest window. The barrack-room was on the top flat of a two-storey building.Benjie hesitated.“PIONEERS USED TO VOLUNTEER TO JUMP THROUGH THAT WINDOW!” Abel yelled. “JUMP!”Benjie eventually jumped, landing unharmed near a row of bitter cassava.BENJIE AND THE PL PILLSEvery Monday, all the companies were required to stand on the drill square for an hour for ‘muster’. This meant that on Sunday, shoes and boots were polished, clothes starched (with starch we made from bitter cassava) and pressed. ‘Muster’ meant that you would have to stand at attention while some officer inspected your company. Of course, there were the usual fainting spells.One memorable ‘muster’ sticks in my head. That was the time when ‘Benjie’ decided that he needed a ‘clean out’ before the big day. Someone forgot to tell him that military drills and laxatives don’t mix. So Benjie took two ‘PL’ Pills the night before muster.‘Ah drink two PL yuh know,” he said to anyone who would listen.So the big day came and we marched onto the drill square and stood at attention. To my left was a lanky pioneer we called ‘Tall Boy.’ ‘Benjie’ was in front of me. It began to rain. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw ‘Tall Boy’ sway like a coconut tree in high breeze, then fall like a log. Then, in front of me,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, Benjie began to emit some very strange sounds. ‘Purrrruuup….ppppuuurrrp…’The PL pills had begun to do their work.I watched as Benjie, his legs locked desperately together, continued to ‘puuuruuup’ in high and low notes. I silently willed my ‘squaddie’ not to ‘let go’ on the drill square. Somehow, he made it through the hour. I still wonder whether he made it to a latrine in time.GEESE’S REVENGEThen there was ‘Geese,’ who earned his nickname because his snores could wake up the entire barrack-room. He was a thin guy in his teens. He didn’t do well on the firing ranges,Manchester City Store UK, because he couldn’t hold the heavy Self-Loading Rifle we used.But I liked him because he had guts. The army and the GNS were always teaming up for military exercises, and, near the end of our Papaya stint, ‘Geese’ was one of the pioneers who was chosen for ‘Operation Iron Weed’ at Tacama.I recall that ‘Geese’ was one of the ‘enemy’ and he was ‘captured’ by army ranks. However, he managed to escape.Every pioneer had a small padlocked cupboard to store his belongings. Some pioneers were experts at picking locks, and soap, money, foodstuff and other items would disappear mysteriously from locked cupboards.One day, ‘Geese’ woke up to find that someone had raided his cupboard. He identified the thief and, as he confided in me, decided to teach the culprit a lesson.That night, after lights-out, no one heard Geese’s snores. That was because he was crawling along the barrack-room floor, under the double bunks of sleeping pioneers, until he reached the alleged culprit’s cupboard. ‘Geese’ then took the entire cupboard to the creek where we bathed. He then broke the lock, emptied the cupboard, stashed its contents, then dumped the cupboard overboard.For the next week or so, ‘Geese’ would sneak off to his hiding place and dine on biscuits, Milo, milk, and an assortment of junk food. The victim accused everyone else. He never suspected ‘Geese.’THE LEGEND OF ‘JOE PECK’Pioneers were assigned daily duties, and some were assigned to the baker shop and kitchen. That meant that they had access to scarce food items. It also meant that they came under the supervision of a chubby staff sergeant. They called him ‘Joe Peck’ and there were several lurid stories about his escapades with young male pioneers.‘Eddie’, the pioneer who was always falling in love and getting dumped, was one of the pioneers assigned to work with ‘Joe Peck.’One night, Eddie and ‘Joe Peck’ were chatting alone in the kitchen when the lights went off suddenly (Papaya was prone to long blackouts). According to ‘Eddie’, as soon as the lights went out he heard ‘Joe Peck’ whisper: “Where yuh deh?”‘Eddie’ said that he immediately panicked. He bolted, knocking down pots and pans in desperation to reach the door. In the darkness, ‘Joe Peck’ laughed.‘Joe Peck’ also ‘made friends’ with a pioneer named Luke.  He showered Luke with gifts. Luke bided his time and one night, he jumped into ‘Joe Peck’s’ room and stole his entire salary.One pioneer recalled seeing fat ‘Joe Peck’ waddling around the base with a cutlass in one stubby hand and asking: “Where Luke deh?”But Luke wasn’t around. He was out on Matthew’s Ridge sporting out Joe Peck’s salary. They eventually caught Luke and kicked him out of the GNS.After this training stint,Cheap Jerseys From China, I moved on to Itabu Training Centre, which was near to Bartica. I stayed in a house with about five other pioneers. One night some of my ‘squaddies’ who were working guard duty at night made off with three chickens from a poultry pen and a sack of flour from the store room. They curried the chickens and made about 20 rotis. A corporal got wind of the scheme and that meant that we had to share with him.But by then, things had begun to get tough on the centres. Food, especially flour, became scarce. Eventually,NFL Jerseys China, the centres closed and the National Service experiment ended.But sometimes,Nike Air Force 1 Donna, I meet up with old ‘squaddies’ and we reminisce on when we were boys just bent on having a good time.

the darkness.
‘While we have such volunteer scouts as this,’ I remarked, ‘it is easy to see which side the country folk have in their hearts. Hooker hath still the better part of two troops with him, so surely he can luxury boulder hold his own. But how are we to make our way Moncler Liivi Naiset back?’
‘Zounds, Clarke! let us extemporise a fortress,’ suggested Sir Gervas. ‘We could hold this farmhouse against all comers until Hooker returns, and then join our Canada Goose Hybridge Hoody Jackor forces to his. Now would our redoubtable Colonel be in his glory, to have a chance of devising cross-fires, and flanking-fires, with all the other refinements of a well-conducted leaguer.’
‘Nay,’ I answered, ‘after Canada Goose Hybridge Jackor leaving Major Hooker in a somewhat cavalier fashion, it Män Jacket would be a bitter thing to have to ask his Miehet Cg Foxe Bomber help now that Moncler Untuvatakki Naiset there is danger.’
‘Ho, ho!’ cried the Baronet. ‘It does not take a very deep lead-line to come to the bottom of your stoical philosophy, friend Micah. For all Miehet Cg Calgary Jacket your cold-blooded stolidity you are keen enough where pride or honour is concerned. Shall we then ride onwards, and chance it? I’ll lay an even crown that we never as much as see a red coat.’
‘If you will take my advice, gentlemen,’ said the highwayman, trotting up upon a beautiful bay Belstaff Daytona Blouson Jackor mare, ‘I should say that your best course is to allow me to act as guide to you as far as the camp. It will be strange if I cannot find roads which shall baffle these blundering soldiers.’
‘A very wise and seasonable proposition,’ cried Sir Canada Goose Camp Hooded Gervas. ‘Master Marot, a pinch from my snuff-box, which is ever a covenant of friendship with its owner. Adslidikins, man! though our acquaintance at present is limited to my having nearly hanged you on one occasion, yet I have a kindly feeling towards you, though I wish you had some more savoury trade.’
‘So do many who ride o’ night,’ Marot answered, with a chuckle. ‘But we had best start, for the east is whitening, and it will be daylight ere we come to Bridgewater.’
Leaving the Män Vattentät jackor ill-omened farmhouse behind us we set off with all military precautions, Marot riding with me some distance in front, while two of the troopers covered the rear. It was still very dark, though a thin grey line on the horizon showed that the dawn was not far off. In spite of the gloom, however, our new acquaintance guided us without a moment’s halt or hesitation through a network of lanes and bypaths, across fields and over bogs, where the waggons were sometimes up to their axles in bog, and sometimes were groaning and straining over rocks and stones. So frequent were our turnings, and so often did we change the direction of our advance, that I feared more than once that our guide was at fault; yet, when at last the first rays of the sun brightened the landscape we saw the steeple of Bridgewater parish church shooting up right in front of us.
‘Zounds, Miehet Cg Resolute Parka man! you must have something of the cat in you to pick your way so in the dark,’ cried Sir Gervas, riding up to us. ‘I am right glad to see the town, for my poor waggons have been crelinks:

s, none less than ten feet in height, the mass of them twenty and thirty. The manifold arms grew rigid. Quiet for a moment, a Titanic metal Briareous, it stood.
Then at the tips of the arms the globes began to spin — faster, faster. Upon them I saw the hosts of the pyramids open — as one into a host of Män Jacket stars. The cleft leaped out in a flood of violet light.
Now for another instant the stars which had been motionless, poised upon the whirling spheres, joined in their mad spinning. Cyclopean pin wheels they turned; again as one they ceased. More brilliant now was their light, dazzling; as though in their whirling they had gathered greater force.
Under me I felt the split Thing quiver with eagerness.
From the stars came a hurricane of lightning! A cataract of electric flame poured into the crack, splashed and guttered down the granite walls. We Män Barbour Lifestyle Jackor were blinded by it; were deafened with thunders.
The face of the precipice smoked and split; was whirled away in clouds of dust.
The crack widened — widened as a gulley in a sand bank does when a swift stream Män Vests rushes through it. Lightnings Canada Goose Freestyle Väst these were — and more than lightnings; lightnings keyed up to an invincible annihilating weapon that could rend and split and crumble to atoms the living granite.
Steadily the cleft expanded. As its walls melted away the Blasting Thing advanced, spurting into it the flaming torrents. Behind it we crept. The dust of the shattered rocks swirled up toward us like angry ghosts — before they reached us they were blown away as though by strong winds streaming from beneath us.
On we went, blinded, deafened. Interminably, it seemed, poured forth the hurricane of blue fire; interminably the thunder bellowed.
There came a louder clamor — volcanic, chaotic, dulling the thunders. Ralph Lauren Hoodies The sides of the cleft quivered, bent artie parka outward. They split; crashed down. Bright daylight poured in upon us, a flood of light toward which the billows of dust rushed as though seeking escape; Ralph Lauren Långärmade skjortor out it poured like the smoke of ten thousand cannon.
And the Blasting Thing shook — as though with laughter!
The stars closed. Back into the Shape ran globe and pyramid. It slid toward us — joined the body from which it had broken away. Through all the mass ran a wave of jubilation, a pulse of mirth — a colossal, metallic — SILENT— roar of laughter.
We glided forward — out of the cleft. I Canada Goose Chilliwack Bomber felt a shifting movement.
Up and up we were thrust. Dazed I looked behind me. In the face of a sky climbing wall of rock, smoked a wide chasm. Out of it the billowing clouds of dust still streamed, pursuing, threatening us. The whole granite barrier seemed to quiver with agony. Higher we rose and higher.
“Look,” whispered Drake, and whirled me around.
Less than five miles away was Ruszark, the City of Cherkis. And it was Canada Goose Hybridge Lite Jackor like some ancient city come into life out of long dead centuries. A page restored from once conquering Maglione Moncler Persia’s crumbled book. A city of the Chosroes transported by Jinns into Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor our own time.
Built around and upon a Belstaff Icon Jackor lolinks:
