279.

Time is slipping away fast.

I don't know what other guys think but my brother and his friends are of the opinion that NS is a waste of time. While most elders think it's a time for boys to grow up. Cliche, or true?

But it has been found in another mandatory-NS country that men who don't do their NS have more mental and emotional problems than those who do. Coincidence?

Interestingly though, this particular country seems to prefer their recruits already grown up, instead of growing them up, as they do here.

It raises questions when a young man who was rejected by the army to 'grow up' before enlisting later became a psychotic school killer. Avoidable?

279. You've got two hundred and seventy-nine days left to grow up then.

Somehow I think it won't be enough.
