This is because I have PoPeD!!!
This is after 9 gruelling weeks of training in the lousy Tekong. I think the whole experience is really eye-opening and enriching. Me and my platoon mates have seen the sweat and tears (literally from us, guys) and perhaps a tiny little bit of blood from me. :) (No lah, medical check up got draw blood one mah).
Enlistment and Passing out day were very emotional days for me. Enlistment marked the day I would be separated from my loved ones, undergo tough times with no one to rely on..so pop was really one that everyone looked forward to.
I remember during the marching in of pop, and my pa and ma putting my cap on for me, my tears flowed in my eyes..for the first time since ages ago.
I remember the days during our field camp digging soils like some farmers. One of my section mate got screwed up that he cried. My empathy with him, of course not only me, but we were forbidden to help him. It was heartrending that time..
And of course many more. I know BMT is just the beginning only, so I have to persevere on.
Gan Ba Te!
(God Knows where my next posting is)
