"...and loaned items cannot be brought on charge... the Account Holder can appoint anyone to receive stores from the QM..."

I could only hear his voice but my eyes closed shut. Battling the 'Z' monster was quite a feat... I slowly opened my eyes and I saw the lecturer, a First Sergeant, looking straight at me. I sat up straight and nodded my head as an acknowledgement and then, he continued his lesson...

"Anyone who is proud to be a storeman? Come on, show me the hands..."

Everyone in the class turned and looked around them, no one raised their hands.

"Ok... Anyone who doesn't despise himself as a storeman?"

The class's participation was more sporting this time, more than half the class raised their hands.

"That's right... you should not despise yourself because you are a storeman... you are the one who supports the army operations..."

"Eh?" I fidgeted a while and paid focused attention on him...

"... because you are important..."

"I... am important? A storeman...?" I thought to myself...

"Maybe because of you, you can let a whole company of 200 soldiers go hungry if you didn't prepare out-ration..." he continued.

This was getting interesting... I couldn't well believed it myself... Me? Important..? I don't know... I don't really believe it... How can I be?

The storeman course was quite slack in my opinion... and most people there, lived very relaxed lives in their own units. Damn, OCS wasn't a bit like that... And people there, mostly pes C due to mental problems were... well, sort of weird... Their behaviours and attitudes couldn't prove me more right.. the reason why they are having mental problems... Felt disgusted at some sort of way... but I'm not perfect either...

SAF forms was one hellacious topic and seriously speaking, studying about these forms can kill... 1206, 1221A, 1218A, 1374, 1283, 1283A, 1283B, 1257, 1257A, G219, 1211, 1213A... Wow, so many forms... and I barely topped a test from this topic.

But the last test, from the topic of ICS2, I managed to get full marks to my own disbelief... Alot scored distinction for that particular test... well thats because answers were given right before the test itself! Its like a giveaway...

Anyway, I completed the 5-day course and its a stay-out course! This coming week, I have to go back to my own unit... Damn... I want stay-out! Psychological check-up coming right now... maybe that's why I became a storeman... Ah! I'm going crazy, give me a stay-out letter right now, doctor!!!
