One evening vacation from RAuk
One evening I went to visit my friend at his request and his wife made us a delicious dinner. I'm not telling the man's name, but he was the same one who gave me alot of free lab reports on mechanical engineering and physics worth at least FIM 3000, each at least with review grade 9.25 in scale 1...10.
He played the piano very well and sang classics with his brilliant tenor voice. They had a living room wallpaper hanging in their apartment and I offered to help them before dinner. I had wallpapered before. I was taller than them. I got up on the chair and put the pasted wallpaper up from the ceiling to the bottom and started straightening it with a brush.
His wife had put the wallpaper paste bucket behind me, next to the chair. When I stepped down, my foot then hit the wallpaper paste bucket and the lady was horrified and apologized me. I said it was just a mistake and laughed. I cleaned the trousers and underpants, the leg, the shoe and the sock. After we finished the room and put the wallpapers on the walls, we dined.
As we dined, the doorbell rang and there were two believing young women from the Zion Church in Helsinki. The man's wife asked if we wanted to talk to them? I said it would work well for me and she invited them inside. The man didn't want to debate about Christianity, but his wife was a believer and wanted.
I wondered that when the women were gone, the man spoke of his own mother, despising her for her faith. In my opinion, no one should despise anyone for his or her faith, even if they themselves do not believe in anything.
I remembered the words of those two wise women who, whenever he criticized of many Christian revival movements and their mistakes, they asked him to look only at Jesus! The women added that only Jesus is without blemish.
They said that no one mistake can be found in Jesus and that they recommend only Jesus to people who do not yet know Him as their Saviour. When the women had gone, the man's wife had noticed it and said that the women had spoken wisely and that he, as a Lutheran, respected them.
As a Punch-bowl watchman
During my military service Jaeger Battalion of Uusimaa celebrated his 50th anniversary. There was invited the top command of the entire Finnish Armed Forces, as well as some leading politicians.
When I was a sub-sergeant, I was assigned, along with another sub-sergeant, Luttinen, at RAuk, to guard the big Punch bowl (of mixed alkohol) because we were sober. We ought to watch after, that no one drunk too much and to fill the bowl when needed.
The other sub-sergeants got on a weekend vacation. I was deeply annoyed by the injustice. I was about to take revenge on the entire UudJP's leadership! That's why I went to the pharmacy before the party to buy 2 dl of castor oil, which I planned to secretly mix in the Punch-bowl.
I was already thinking in my mind of seeing a huge crowd dancing on the floor and soon their to a sudden rush to the toilet and the scandal that would rise in the news. Since women too would have had to experience the same thing, fortunately my mind and compassion for women won and I went to drain the castor oil secretly in the toilet bowl.
After I returned to the staff, I would have had to teach the use of the weapon and various extracts of rifle practice for rookies. I escaped on it and secretly went to the Army Café and was there all the day. I drunk a couple bottles of lemonade and ate a few donuts. I did read the daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat there in full too.
In the evening, I secretly returned sneaking to barracks, but Sergeant Kekkonen waited for me at the front door of the barrack and asked, "Where are you coming from now? Didn't sub-sergeant Norrgård know that you ought to taught the beginners to use weaponry and combat training today?"
I replied that I was the whole day at the Army Café and I certainly knew what I was assigned to do that evening, but as a Christian I didn't want to teach any young rookies to kill anyone. The sergeant began writing the interrogation record, but did not want to write the reason why I had not obeyed my supervisor's order.
I said I would not sign it unless he first write the reason I just mentioned. Reluctantly, he wrote the real reason instead of rebellion. The barracks chief was furious after reading the interrogation record. He could have given me not more than a week of lockup (in jail) immediately in his authority, but he thought it would be too slight punishment.
That's why he decided to give my case to the battalion commander and recommended him that me should be given 2 weeks locup (in jail).
Fortunately, the old commander retired and the new battalion commander took office at that time! He probably wasn't in a good relationship with my barrack chief(?) He only gave me a 2 week ban on leaving, with no extra service. My barracks chief could not change it. It was a ridiculously mild punishment!
Barracks's sub-officer told me, laughing at how our barracks chief reacted to it. He threw his hat on the floor, jumped on it and shouted with anger: "It's too easy a punishment for Norrgård. He should have been given at least 2 weeks lock up (in jail) and should have served it 2 weeks after normal military service."
I also laughed when I heard about lieutenant Nudigan's rage incident. The ban on leaving only meant that I had to report to the watching sub-sergeant every 2 hours after normal daily service until bedtime, and I did not receive any evening leave for 2 weeks. After then I didn't had to report anything. It was a very mild punishment!
