"Every day we leave the washing stuff nicely placed after use. We have strict rules about how we should take care of personal belongings, which always keep us principled. As you can see, all the washbasins are placed the same, and even the towels are folded as required."
"I used to be weak, weighing less than 50 kilograms. I couldn't really help with any work at home asI was not strong at all. In the two years in the army, I got much stronger and well built."
"The saying goes in the army: 'How you stand in a line shows your dignity when you are outside, and how you arrange your room when you are indoors.' The blanket is the most important part in the room and is the first thing we take care of in the morning. The most unforgettable memory should be missing the breakfast for the blanket."
