ORD LOH !!!

Awaited this day for 1 year 10 months ever since i enlisted im so dreadful for this day every single day i wake up to this bed frame netting view of the double deck bed in the bunk and missing home and my family and sacrificing my everyday life doing lots of shit that no one ever gonna understand except those who when through infantry life. BMT i really almost hit my breaking point i almost break into tears and cry before i go to sleep during the first week of BMT at Tekong.

Worst punishment could ever do in life is to take away somebody freedom and will to live their ever human rights just gone, sold to the army. At that very point of time i cry out loud, i would rather sold my soul to the devil then be there, but the devil never came. Somehow the devil dont even want my worthless soul, so all i can do is just endure through this shit every single day i woke up and go to sleep.

During BMT Tekong Dragon Coy was not a easy thing at first because your not use to being confine inside an island where ur so near yet so far away from home kind of feeling. I was very happy to be inside this Platoon 2 Section 2 Dragon Coy, maybe because of the age gap and the education background of each other was the same (EM3 to NT to ITE to Poly) we blend in very easily and have mutual respect and understand. The 7 day field camp was the worst and the most to talk about, 12km road march to the field camp site and after that we started building our basha tent and have our rest from there sweaty smelly and tired and we cant go for a shower ! Thank god i have this person who im proud to call buddy !~ Although his physical fitness at that time wasnt very good but we take good care of each other till the very end. It was an awesome experiences with him until i enlisted into 5SIR.

Unit life was really tough, since it was 1 year 8 months of hell let me try to summary it into few words. Intensive PT, High Discipline & Training Standards, Shellscape, Rolling in Mud, Numerous Road March & Field Camp, SBO1-3 PT & Combat Run, VOC, Weekend Burn (Guard Duty) sometimes Extra, 32km iCSB Road March, 10km Endurance Run, SOL(For some only), Toilet & Area Cleaning, Countless Sai Kang and of cause Wallaby.

Above all mention, countless times of AWOL thoughts has always be there, despite all the tough times, We endure it through, cause of our motivation towards each other and not forgetting the sergeant that motivated us, help us and kept us away from all troubles.
Seriously thanks for all the support motivation and keeping us away from troubles extra or punishment, boosting our morale all the time even thou u see us damn sian liao u also damn sian but still boost the morale of us. Without them, i will not have able to have achieve my IPPT Gold, Marksman & iCSB 32km Road March & going through all those tough training together. And more important i should be somewhere in the mountains hiding away from SG custody/MP.

Those friends who suffered together for the past 1 year 10 months together especially those sergeants & officers who led us through those training are more then just a thank you note for them we might hate each other at times but i guess it's because the things we meant to do, did this to us.

Nonetheless, i wish everyone a Happy ORD. Im so gonna hate ICT and IPPT when i get my call up !
