"At that time I was at the rocket troops here in the Pilsen region, in Rokycany. Well, of course nobody was allowed to know, while half the country knew, but we as soldiers had to keep quiet, didn't we. Well, so the army..." - "And how long were you there?" - "Two years. Who didn't obey, paid for it." - "Like how?" - "Well, maybe he got, as they used to say, three days after duty. Normally the day job was as usually, and in the evening instead of going to the dormitory with the soldiers, you went to sleep in the prison. You packed up your blanket and went to sleep in the prison." - "And how did it go there? Same thing every day?" - "Every day the same. Warm-up in the morning when you weren't in prison, when you weren't in punishment, warm-up exercise, roll call, breakfast. Then there was some employment. So either there was shooting, or there was political training, or there was a mandatory inspection of something, and then there was practical stuff of some sort. And then in the evening or in the afternoon there was just some kind of chatting with the commanders."
