One way as I wandered back into my barracks at my last posting, I stopped to
peruse the company bulletin board, as we were required to do twice a day, and I
saw posted a set of instructions that seemed to me to perfectly encapsulate the
opacity of military writing, and so with great caution to make sure I was no
observed, I took it down and stowed it away amongst my personal papers to take
home with me. I hope someday to find it again, if only to see if I still can
understand it.
