Settling Down

well, finally i'm back. been in camp, though i booked out last week but it seemed like i had no time to blog in. so i'll just briefly update, just a summary will do cos there's really too much to write about. the 1st day in OCS was very quiet, i felt very lonely and lost. but slowly we came to know each other better and began to go through shit together. next came our 1st field camp in OCS together, though its just 2D1N, the last night was super shack. casevac all the way back to wingline, about 5km. in OCS, the instructors push u to the limit, its till u can cry while running, tears just roll down naturally. we have frequent runs, up to 4 times a week, we are training like national athletes. the thing about OCS is, they provide the best equipment, very good to work with. after 2 weeks, finally its parents visiting, whole family came, including siyu, grandma, uncle simon and aunty huay. brought them around, showed them my living conditions, told them about what i've been through in the past 2 weeks. and when it was time or them to take their leave, i suddenly felt an emptiness in my heart. can't bear to see them leave. the following monday, had initiation parade, got my junior bar, 2 milk chocs. the air and mids people are then transferred to air and mids wing. now it's purely army people in Sierra. training got very packed, a whole week to learn 4 weapons. now im trained in 4 new weapons. then came to the 1st book out. very short but better than nothing. booked in with a heavy heart. then after a busy mon-wed in SAFTI, we got a break. we went to signal institue on thursday-saturday. and now im out again but i'm gonna book in tonight again. sad sad sad..section field camp starts tomorrow, i'm very sure it's gonna get tough. will be going back to tekong. well i'm just looking forward to the coming long weekend. with that i end this session, hope i'll be back soon.
