Detachment

Hello. I'm back. Again. For don't know how many countless times, I am back from camp. Each week, I haven't written in detail all the loads of training I went through. Each week, I haven't described how much soil I have stepped on, how much mud had stained my uniform, how much perspiration I have shed. And it's all because it has been such a routine that it has drilled into me. So much so I have started to become numb. I am proud to say that since the day I enlisted in NS, I have NEVER once reported sick. I have NEVER once opted for a medical status. Yes of course, I have fallen ill sometimes, with flu and all that. But there is one word I always abide to. And that is ENDURANCE. And my principle is easy.

Do your best, live your best. Prove it to no one, but yourself.

Since this year is coming to an end soon, I guess I have some sorta fulfilled my resolution for the year, which is "To become a better man". Army changes lives. It has changed mine so far. I may not have been successful enough as to go as far as to be a sergeant or an officer. But as I said, I only want to prove to myself, that I can improve. And I guess I did. I have endured hardship so far and am ready for more to come. I have seen results in my physical fitness. I have made friends whom I call brothers.

This week, I have seen new specialists coming into our unit. And there were familiar faces. They were my long lost BMT mates! Man, I really miss them so much! Looking at them brought along a fresh spring of memories. Memories so vivid I can hardly unsubscribe to. Memories so vivid that just thinking of them can make a fresh spring of tears well up in my eyes. It is almost impossible to imagine that merely 9 weeks of getting together can forge a strong bond that could never be broken. Though they are now 3rd sergeants, I feel obliged to still treat them as my very close BMT pals. If you ask I feel inferior in any bit, yes, I admit I did. But if there is something I have learnt so far from my lessons, it is, do not compare.

At least, I am trying my very best to fulfil my own endeavours.

It is really good to see them man. Alright, we have a long weekend due to our leave on Friday. I must really make full use of my time man.
