The introduction of the National Service journal, with a few modifications

The equivalent of this article - the original French text - can be found here.

A note before I begin :

* All titles shall be coloured : blue for a normal day/event, red for a crisis, black for a sad and lamentable day, and gold for a celebration.

* This notebook shall be divided into chapters according to the activity being undergone by the National Service trainees.

* If there is a silver star next to the title, that indicates that the article is already archived in the virtual NS journal.

* The English translation shall be placed online around a month after the updating of Jeunesse.

* I write in French for two reasons : 1) so that no one shall understand me but He alone (I doubt that anyone would speak French over there), 2) so that I won't lose the flow of the language after spending 82 days over there ! I'm in the midst of preparing for the C2 and I don't wanna lose it !

* If there are still a few pages even after the posts of 82 days, I might perhaps write a few words to end the journal. But, I will certainly allow my National Service friends to leave their mark (i.e. their signature, messages and contact details) on the last page.

* At the training camp, this book shall be shared amongst close friends. No one shall touch this book, or ask me for the translation, or even beg me to tell them my story, without my consent.

Happy reading !
