Went down into the shopping mall in this complex for a tea. Got in the elevator to come back up and a young man that i'd passed in the elevator lobby, who'd turned towards the elevators, finally found the open door and came in with me. Looked hard at the numbers and then said he didn't see what he wanted, "5", which was right above the lit "3" (mine). I pressed it for him. I got off at "3" and he started to follow me. No, no... not your stop. What's on floor 5? it's the military recruitment office.

The lad will go far in the military. I can tell these things.

Well, see in the military they have manuals for these things, and he just hasn't been fully trained yet...

He's already trained to follow anyone anywhere and can't even press a button on his own initiative ;))) I'm not implying that all military are thick as two planks lol but i *have* been married to a soldier and i've known a few that weren't the fizziest drink in the fridge ;)
