Army life is even harsher then a farmhands, especially for a Dutch-speaking an-alphabet who simply cant understand his francophone superiors, and Jans nature is not complacent enough for military discipline even by todays standards, so he soon gets into all kinds of trouble, including gambling his capital away and a venereal disease.
