One year ago

On the very same day, one year ago, at this very moment, I was at P. Tekong lying down on the bed and wondering how army was going to be like.

On this very day, I celebrate my one year anniversary being in the SAF. Just one more bloody year to go before I hear the three letters that most young adults want to hear. ORD. I can still remember the training days at BMT. Ah~ Takes me back a little. It was hell but yet fun. Everyone else was suffering with you and somehow, it feels somewhat less horrendous than it's supposed to be.

After all that crap I've been through, POP came and it felt almost surreal. I was glad yet sad that I have to leave my SGTs and sir's. I am no longer in the comfort zone where punishment was just as simple as doing push ups anymore. Now, every single mistake we make, its all about signing extra guard duties and with a little luck, maybe SOL or DB. I shan't bother explaining all the abbreviations. Too lazy to and have been asked once too many times.

Looking back at the pictures taken during POP made me realise that army is not that terrible at all. It has its share of fun as well as its share of crap where all of us has to take in one way or the other. Long gone are the days where SGT and Sir punish us for no apparent reason. In comparison to the past, army has certainly been better. When the older generation tells you how scary army is, tell them that they are fucking talking crap and then enter your passageway to adulthood and experience it yourself.

Anyways, was supposed to post these pictures up when I POP, but I am a tad bit too late. So, here it is now. Enjoy. This is Wei Xin signing off for the night and there's only 1 more year to go. Hang in there!



Pardon the lousy quality.
