A small garden, and barn are adjacent to the tower forming a small yard between them. Livestock at the post include a couple of cebuc and a small flock of chickens which provide fresh milk and eggs.
- Postings usually last for a month at a time. For some soldiers, it is considered a punishment, as so little happens day-to-day.
