Yup... I know... It has been a very very very very very long time since I lasted posted an entry. Hm... Almost half a year ago. Sad to say I'm still stuck in army. Just finished my Basic Section Leader Course in SISPEC. (Congratulations to me...) And I am now going to embark on another
fun and exciting journey in Advanced Section Leader Course.
Ah well... Honestly, I am not actually very happy about it. I kind of expected to be posted to ASLC but I'm not happy about it. On one hand, I know that I can go to Taiwan... But on the other, I realise the amount of rubbish I have to go through before I can even get my R&R of a few days in Taiwan. I just hope that I will be able to hang on through all these to get my sergeant rank.
In retrospect, I thank God for His guidance and protection these few months. I haven't suffered any major injuries or diseases during BMT and BSLC. Although I have to admit, I often complain and complain about why am I posted to this company, posted to this school etc. Things aren't exactly very smooth. I still remember the first few weeks in BMT, my mood really was bad. I came home hoping to get rest, but in the end get angered by my parent's insensitivity. They ridiculously blasted music at 8 am in the morning playing
old Chinese New Year songs which were totally irritating, unaware that I was sick in the bed trying to get rest. But those days were over I guess. Over the course of about 5 months, I slowly adjusted to army life. Although used to it, I still don't like it. The amount of regimentation is really very tiresome. There were times I almost broke down, just want to hide myself somewhere, go AWOL or something. But I didn't of course, don't want to get charged for nothing.
At this point, I would like to wish all the people who just ended their BMT the best-est of luck in your next phase in army. Those who have already ended their 2nd phase - continue to press on! Those who are studying, give yourselves a good pat for pulling through the exams, now it's holidays!! Those who are working, though you have no holidays, no worry, you still have the weekends to chill.... Haha.... God bless...
