this is a long due post. finally have the time to blog some thoughts.
i thank God for pulling me through bmt. i will never forget the friends i made, especially my platoon mates. those who made an impact in my life. i learnt a few lessons here and there about sharing, giving, and doing my part. the friendships forged made all the tough times a little less tough, and all the fun times a little more fun. thanks goes out to my sergeants as well, sgt alvin – the ‘walk some more’, the arti drills! the sarcasm filled encouragements, the positive ‘reaching already’ encouragements, to which we were laughing away at during our 24click. thank you. sgt amri – the ‘form up at the back’ to cut marching time around coy line, the ‘f-ing cb you’ (lol, it becomes more amusing than fierce, especially when glenn says it), the cool brown shoes. thank you. sgt stanley – for teaching us paternally at all the times he was around. for being strict but caring. for eating with us at the cookhouse. thank you. platoon sgt aizuddin – ‘wrong!’. for teaching us for the most part of our stay in tekong. section level fire movement! for the roti john! for being a good plt sgt. thank you.
