You have to go a long way to serve your country

This week, Olivier received his call up papers. Fortunately he only has to go for one day. They have to listen to a talk, look around various equipment, eat steak and chips (fries) for lunch and have a brief first aid course. Dom said it was the most boring day or her life ( the intellectual pitch isn’t very high apparently).

Olivier also received his train ticket at the bottom of the form. The course is at the base in La Rochelle, he’s got a train ticket to nowhere.
