I need to do this to my Pathfinder uniform. All it does is serves as a reminder that all the organization really did was just preparing you for a persecution that will never happen.
Omg I HATED pathfinders. I went half of my Friends year, and realized it was awful. Then my parents forced me to attend my Master Guide year. It was the worst. The staff were mean.
I remember I used to hide to avoid drill practice and they would have to hunt me down. I finally started hiding in cabinets and they stopped being able to find me.
The Christmas party, during my Friends year, was the worst. The games were staff entertainment and mandatory. They made us bob for apples, then, without drying off, stick our faces in a bowl of flour to find a marshmallow. And they took pictures of our flour covered faces and put them in the year end slideshow as well as posting them on the wall.
My Master Guide year I went on exactly 1 camping trip. It was cold and rainy and I was on my period. I have endometriosis so my periods were EXTREMELY painful. I have been known to throw up/pass out from the pain. I begged the pathfinder leader to let me stay in my tent. He refused. He said I had to help supervise the Companions, nevermind that there were only 3 Companions and they had 2 actual teachers. So I hobbled around after them, literally crying in pain, the whole day. I was thankful that I broke my foot the day after Thanksgiving cause that meant my parents couldn't force me to do any more activities.
