[Sotos]

How lovely, a personal thread just for me and who better to talk about me than me!

Ok, this month I was due for discharge from the reserve (65B) which means I would’ve paid one final visit (sometime in mid December) just to hand in all my equipment and move on to the next stage (Civil Defense) but I signed up to stay on as a volunteer because I have no intention of parting with my trusty H&K and neither did any of my comrades so we all agreed to stay on in the team.

My philosophy is to keep them polished and keep them near because on Cyprus you just never know when the rifle will need to serve you!

Now, as an official (volunteer) Ethnofilakas of Tseri, I once again pledge my allegiance with the Republic and proclaim that even in the event of the great powers annihilating each other I will be the last man standing right here on the hilltops of Tseri waving the Cypriot flag!

Amen.

You have to volunteer to be Ethnofilakas now? I thought it was mandatory for some years after you turn 45.

My bad… I should’ve said I was due for discharge from Ethnofilaki which I’ve just completed for 5 years like you say… 45 to 50, and a month prior to being discharged you gotta apply to stay on as a volunteer if you want.
