On my 1st day of duty today, I met a young chap SM who was assigned to the same station as me -- welcoming and arranging shuttle transport for VIPs to the competition venue.
We have (at least) three things in common:
First, our ancestry hails from Hainan Island, China. In fact, our villages may be very near each other's, each around 20-30 mins drive from Wenchang city.
Second, we were both specialists or sergeants in our national service vocations. Being the meat in the sandwich (between the officers and the men), we shared a common resonance in our 'war' stories, from training suffering to ghostly encounters.
Third, he is about to embark on his engineering studies whilst I have completed my engineering studies, so engineering is a common profession for us.
