I think I've mentioned on a few occasions on my blog entries how I think compulsory state farm service & compulsory military service could benefit a land. In military service, we'd need to specialise for 1) air force, 2) land army, 3) navy, 4) cyber security & espionage & 5) special task forces.
In general training:
• all troops would need to wake up at 5 AM, make their bed & do a kilometre long jog, thirty pushups & reach an obstacle course,
• do the obstacle course & jog back to have breakfast,
• after this, soldiers will practice a set of martial arts (advanced stick fighting, laamb wrestling & capoeira) including sparring in each martial art & using all martial arts as a combo,
• disassembling & assembling a standard service pistol & rifle,
• soldiers will be required to slaughter & pluck their own chicken for the week,
• swimming a kilometre & staying under water for a minute,
• firing the service pistol & rifle at a target,
• a paintball game set,
• & chess or mlabalaba before dinner (6 PM) & the day ending (7 PM).
Shock wake-ups (between 12 AM & 4 AM) could be done once every second week on varying days of the week where the trainee soldiers could jog & do obstacle course or swim a kilometre & stay under water a minute.
The obstacle course: Low crawling net in mud (over 20 metres), hurdles (50 metres), monkey bars (for 15 metres), climbing wall (15 metre ascent & descent), 30 kg weight lift & drop (for 15 metres), rock throwing target practice (at object 30 metres away-hit twice & move on), rope climb (20 metre ascent & descent), spear throwing (at object 50 metres away), wet ground rock skipping (for 20 metres), decomposing animals tunnel crawl (40 metres). Done.
The above listed would be done every weekday (except target practice with firearms which would be done once a week) & weekends would be left for laundry, cleaning the residences, mowing the lawns, Saturday afternoon braai, Sunday church service, recovery & resting.
Soldiers will eat twice a day: porridge, tea & egg sandwich/sausage in the morning then chicken curry or grilled chicken & a starch (rice/pap) in the afternoon.
Each soldier will get five khakhi shirts & pants for the training as well as an army cap & boots of which they will be required to return the cap & boots, four of each of the shirts & boots after training or pay for if damaged.
No television would be allowed, cellphones would be allowed weekends only, radio sets would be allowed but no loud music would be allowed.
After training; navy, air force, land army (& border guard) are sorted where navy will be taught all about sea vessels & how to control them, air force guys will be taught to fly & maintain aircraft with each aircraft having three pilots each, land army will be used on peace keeping missions & guarding borders. Any who feel thay do not belong in the military would be allowed to go home until a time when the land may be forced to recruit them in battle.
