Ex-soldier saludo kay Matteo: Kung kami ngang mga nasa militar hirap na hirap na, siya pa kaya?

MATTEO GUIDICELLI

MATTEO Guidicelli has found a fan in a former soldier.

Isa na nga-yong university professor ang aming kausap na abut-abot ang paghanga sa actor na nakapasa kamakailan sa Scout Rangers Orientation.

Bilang military protocol, throughout this column ay tatawagin namin siyang Sandro. Mula 2001 hanggang 2005 noong mapabilang si Sandro sa Armed Forces bilang intelligence officer. Kinailangan niyang kumuha ng nasabing training to prepare him as an officer of the combat squadron to be assigned in Batangas in 2006.

“I admire him,” aniya, “as the program isn’t really meant for civilians. Kung kami na ngang nasa military service na, nahihirapan, how much more si Matteo?”

Sa malagubat na Camp Tecson sa Bulacan karaniwang nagsasanay ang mga Scout Rangers with 40 to 45 days to complete the course.

Alas tres y medya ng umaga’y tumatakbo na ang mga ito on the camp’s 20-kilometer stretch for two hours, may sukbit na five-kilo sandbag until it reaches 20 kilos in the course of the program.

By 6 a.m., maglulublob na sila sa putikan bago maligo para um-attend naman ng lecture from 8-10 a.m..

Ang tinatawag na Hell Week ang pinakamatindi. Nakasuot ng T-shirts at shorts, kailangang makarating sila sa designated outpost under time pressure nang hindi nahuhuli o nakokorner ng mga opisyal posing as enemies, “Otherwise, pinapalo kami ng yantok bilang parusa.”
