In case anyone didn't know... I got posted to airforce in ChongPang camp... Vocation - ADWO... Air Defence Weapon Operator... Lots of friends there... One of my super old friends BJ is there in 3da... Junyong is in 3da too... Tian Hui is in 160SQN... YM is there too... Yes... The one with 3 chocolate bars which I refuse to salute even though I've seen him twice in the camp...
Took me close to 2 weeks to get use to the sudden change in the environment... To recap everything that's happened... I was really quite demoralized on the first day...
We were told to do 2 sets of 12 chin-ups before heading for lunch... This was rather a norm for people in Orion as it was the usual routine for us - definitely of lesser number though... My counts dropped... Could only do like 7 and 6 respectively... I observed the rest and realised something appalling... Approximately 90% were zero fighters... In my mind, I was like "OMG! Welcome to the world of becoming a MAN!"
It felt like I was back in the 1st week of Tekong... All of us couldn't do our chin-ups... This made me ponder what the rest of the companies in Tekong had did to them... They must be having a helluva fun chalet-ing everyday... It came as a culture shock to me... I realised my company was really quite tough on us when placed in comparison... The basic requirements and expectations of a recruit and/or trainee... the standards in drills badly reflect the sergeant's capabilities in their teachings...
Not that I'm being bias or that I'm "selling" my own company... I'm really thankful that all my sergeants were kiasu, selfless and dedicated bunch of people... My course mates complained about the tough training and all... I, on the other hand thought it was manageable... Hmmm... Oh well...
Night was terrible... I was emoing and all... I missed the old batch of people in Tekong... My companions... The laughter... Everything's different... I have to admit that I didn't really like my new buddy when we first talked... The vibe didn't felt right... But as time goes by, he's really not that bad after all... I just couldn't make myself to move on... I shall see what happens next... Met some really nice people I could really click with... Already spotted 1 cockster... Just can't have enough of this kind of people eh? Haha... Let's hope these 20 months will be fulfilling and enjoyable...
December 10 will be my POP day... Hope it comes really quick! And lastly, BOOMZ! Haha!
