When called an officer, the prestige is in it.

We all find ourselves in different situations, places that may have triggered the love we have for different forces. It may be a natural affinity for a particular force, as some individuals believe it is their destiny. That is when some individuals find themselves in a particular force without putting in much work.

The military happens to be the armed forces, and the paramilitary is close to the military. The forces involved in both carry out special duties according to the reason for their origin. I have always admired the military as a child, although I was scared to have any encounter with them due to how fearful the uniforms and guns looked. Not until I grew up to realize how free some of them could be and also got to know about other paramilitary. I got so familiar with how Armies lived their life since I spent my high school days in Army barracks.

Within the period of high school days, I got so intimidated by these army children. Using the phrase "common civilian," sometimes they say "civilian." I so wished I had someone in the military at this point to also tell them I wasn't a commoner. Growing up, I saw the influence a military man has in our society.

If I had the choice between military branches, I would choose the Air Force. I see the air force as a kind of lucrative form of military compared to how other forces in Nigeria are being treated, specifically the army. I know they all go through the same stress, but that of the Air Force is better.

One thing I have always admired about the military is the opportunity they have to move around without any fear of disturbance from any person or force on their way. I have followed a military man before, and once at any check point they realize he is a military man, they will allow him to pass, but as a civilian it is either you talk plenty or give small amounts of money, and sometimes they will still delay you for not meeting their requirements. Even when you meet their requirements, not minding your personality, they will still delay you. In this case, it's only known politicians that they give respect to, those that have attained the titles of Honorable, Senator, and the rest.

What I will do if given the opportunity

I have always wanted a situation where everyone is treated equally with respect attributed to them as Nigerians. Sometimes an O level recruit can talk to a senior teacher at the level of director or even treat them anyhow because they are not putting on uniforms or they are not being called officers.

The whole thing situation makes it look like these people are not serving their country also, everyone deserves to be treated in accordance because we all have equal rights.

If given the opportunity to serve, I will try in my own little way to educate my subordinates on the need to treat everyone with respect. And if I'm not in the position to educate others, I will try to affect the lives I come across positively.

Prestige comes with responsibilities."

This responsibility is that of service, dedicated to serving your country in different aspects; in crime scenes such as stealing, robbery, intimidating others, and in conflicts. This makes it a more demanding one to serve.

Thank you for reading.
I am your friend, @isaacngore.

Indeed.. When there is decorum and discipline, the force will have a more approachable look and people will not be so terrified of them anymore.

Thank you for sharing this with us.
