Being a trainee does also have its perks, we are constantly on a vigilant, having sentries to help us keep a look out for instructors when we are slacking, taking short cuts, or doing some stuff which isn't allowed to be done. Well, who cares as long as you don't get caught right?

We also learn many things through the hard way. Which unfortuantely is the best way of getting things done. When we do something wrong, we have to pay for it, when we suffer, we tend to remember things better and we get the job done the next time faster too which is why we constantly get whacked all the time.

But all of this hammerings is not in vain, because the greater the intensity, the stronger the memory will be. After all, what does not kill us makes us stronger. For instance, running around the parade square countless times with our FBO, our chow run, our bear crawls around the parade square has been deeply etched into my memory and it also has made me a much stronger person. It also has allowed our batch to grow as a team, to forge comrade as well as life long friendships.

Currently, my status in camp is in transistion, meaning that i am not a trainee, but i am also not in a unit. So this means everything is more or less own time own target. We do not get dropped ( that often ) but we also do not have training as well which to me, is a good thing. Lots of resting in bunk and we do get to play alot in our cabins :) All this free time has also presented an opportunity for me to reflect on what I have done so far in my life, the good, the bad as well as certain regrets which is unfortunate sigh, but oh well. LIFE STILL GOES ON ! :D
