It's my LIFE!

Time flies, I felt like it was as though yesterday that I was enlisted to Bravo company for Basic Section Leader Course (BSLC) training, but the fact is that 4 weeks had already past and there’s only 4 more weeks to go!

I really like my section mates, they are really nice and helpful – in fact, the whole platoon is full of helpful guys! No wonder they are all in SISPEC They really take initiative and do things for everyone, not just for themselves. It’s always nice when people help each other and get things done together, it’s much more effective and time saving – well, that’s team work!

Speaking about team work, I went through the 4 days 3 nights field camp this week, it was quite a challenging week if you’d ask me; when I was sitting down on the wet and muddy ground in the rain, I asked myself,

“How did I even managed to survive through the 6 days 5 nights field camp in my BMT days at Tekong??“

I was then recalling back on what my buddy (TJR) told me back then… I remembered that I was too shack out after the 12km fast march, the digging of shell scrape right on top of concrete, huge & thick roots and ground full of stones, and got tekan like hell on a muddy ground which my whole palm actually sink into the mud when I am in push-up position; TJR and I were walking to the latrin area, and I was so shack and has no morale at all, every steps I took I feel like falling out.

My buddy, TJR gave me a punch all of a sudden and scold the hell out of me… this punch and the things he said motivated me to move on. I managed to survive through my field camp! That’s why whenever people ask me about my army life, the first thing I’ll always tell them, is that I’m super lucky to have the most amazing buddy there ever was~!!

Okay back to THIS field camp which I went through by myself, without TJR. Whenever I feel like giving up, I thought of what he said to me and the punch he gave me. Whenever I see anyone looking shack or anyone having low morale, I would encourage them, cheer them up, because I know how they feel, I know the feeling of one person sitting there, stoned and having a shack face – their morale is low and it’s still dropping! They’d want to fall out when their morale reaches zero.

Anyway, in this field camp, I learn a lot of new stuffs from 1SG Max, and many others. I felt that I have grown up once again, becoming even more confident than before that I have once again conquered another field camp and learn so much new stuffs. Thanks people!

Well, there are still so much more things for me to learn in future. Next week would be yet another hell week full of high key events, if anyone could have make it in the past (since all specialist went through them), so could I!

Last but not least, just in case some people still doesn’t know – my batch is the last batch of cadets in the School of Infantry Specialist (SISPEC), in future, the school’s name will be changed to Specialist Cadets School (SCS).

Cheerios!
