21....

So there are just 21 days left till the end of service and only 10 days till he leaves the base...

The less time is left to "Zero" hour the more everyone gets anxious. Deeply hidden antipathies suddenly start to surface. Since the perspective of spending few more months together is not the case anymore many soldiers/inmates started to express their real characters with little regard for courtesy and rules. It makes these last weeks extremely difficult. In burning sun inmates burning with impatience to go out...must be really like a waiting room before hell...

Getting to the end...

Yesterday I faced with very mixed feelings... I managed to see the day of my departure on the departures list. It took me a few minutes to get used to the reality. I felt like smoking again, but remembered back that I gave it up yesterday any way...
In the end there was a light at the end of the long dark tunnell... I was confused... but happy... I hope I will get out of the bad mood I had last week very soon, as the list is a good sign.
I will go out of the base on 21st of May 2010.
In the conscripts jargon there is 17 days to the dawn after the midnight... According to my own counting there is 28... I will be done in with the military officially in 28 days.
