1 more month to my ORD, and i wanna really look back at my whole army life.

Army was a route of realization for me.

I straightened many thoughts along the way,

lost some and found some new believes.

As of today, i dont really regret ever enlisting.

i remembered when i knew i was enlisting, i was so sian

then i thought again, everyone has to go through it ,

better sooner then later right?

then got into BMT,

was pondering between specialist and officer,

so i thought just do my best and let the wind take me to where i belong.

in the end, i screwed up 2nd day sit test.

and i was just a normal person in the platoon, guess officer was just not my cup of tea.

in the end, ended up in sispec.

went through bslc and realized wat a blur cock i was.

gotta tank my buddy for helping me loads.

thanks JIE HAO and not forgetting the rest of the section 2 :P

i still remembered b4 24km, my sergeant told us.

jie hao : arti

chang yong: PTI

i was like SURE OR NOT!?!?!

next thing i know , i was reporting in Army Fitness Centre

then i was running intervals and endurance run.

made to do SOC under 9 mins

made to do CPFT which involved 200m swim with rifle and no4, 1.5km FBO run, FBO SOC and 3.5km FBO run all under 52 mins. that was certainly a killer man.

going through all sorts of sport science lessons, taking tests.

and i remembered i only passed my CPFT 1 day before POP, and my timing was 50 mins.

next thing i know, i'm in Changi Naval Base

serving my NS as a Physical Training Instructor which i will never regret.

its a vocation that requires skills that u can take along throughout your whole life.

stuff like how to keep fit,

ways to train

and that "love for sports" mindset that they have inbuilt in you,

all will be carried with me throughout my life.

well unlike the army, where most ppl move through fucking,

the navy has a different culture.

its more friendly and i would say like any other government company that u go to.

as they have a lesser strength compared to the army,

it feels that they are more closely knitted together and everyone is treated with respect and are more like friends.

they rarely bring in ranks unless where they need to, which takes away the issue abt regimentation.

over the years i have grew confident as a person, hoped i have touched some hearts of the trainees, and grew more capable in settling issues. i would say, my journey in NS has been a fruitful journey and i have indeed matured. well as they said NS is where boys turn to men.

ORD LOH ( in 1month ah LOL )
