Coming this Friday 12th June, it’ll mark my 6th month in the army, an 1/4 of the total 2yrs i have to serve.
Looking back on 12th December, when I enlisted as a recruit at BMTC tekong, i felt very miserable, like most.
But now, i felt very satisfied, the answers in life i been looking for, even during this 6 months journey in army.
In life, there’s no impossible. Whatever we do, when there’s a will, there’s a way out. Believe in yourself you can do it, exceed your limits and soar above the rest.
So as time flies fast, i at first, can’t believe that, I’m in SISPEC, doing my ASLC course now. I was questioning myself all the while, what am i doing here? Is this what i really want?
At first, i really wanted to get into OCS, badly, but then, as time flies in SISPEC, i realised, being a specialist, might suit me even more than an officer.
In another 10 week’s time, if everything goes smoothly for me, i will be at that parade square, receiving my 3rd Sergeant rank.
Alot people might think that, the 3rd Sergeant path for Infantry, (BSLC, ASLC) is easy, but in fact, do you guys really know how much shit and hell we go thru to get to there? So, at least, give some respect to those Sergeants & Officers out there, when you have no ideas and clue how much we endure and suffered along the way in command schools.
To my two 7yrs of friends, Yanzhang & Kevin, enlisting on this Thursday & Friday respectively, enjoy your last week as a civilian and i hope to see you guys do well in army.
Don’t ever give up on anything that you think you can’t do it, always believe in yourself and even exceed your own limits. Even a simple 2.4km run, is all about mindset, and your fighting spirit, not your physical limits. Don’t be affected by peer pressure, the temptation to get Out Of course. Aim to get into command school, OCS/SISPEC, for life inside there, will definitely change yours 2yrs in army life.
All the best bros, and hope to see you guys POP few months later on that parade square.
Kudos,
