RCGC

15th Feburary 1830hrs : 83 graduants from different courses got their long awaited wings, brevets, and swords. It was a shiok feeling marching up to HAO, recieving the ADA brevet on my chest, and the sword we dreamed of for so long ever since we loboed in AFS. Indeed, over the past year in the army ever since being a 'chao recuit' in BMT back when I enlisted on 8th Jan 2005. Looking back, I never expected to have come so far..

I remember when I first got into Tekong, with the ' Welcome to Tekong' sign so sarcarstically hanging over our heads. The day we shaved our heads and took the SAF pledge. We took that same oath this very day.

We, members of the Singapore Armed Forces
Do solemnly and sincerely pledge that
We will always bear true faith
And allegience to the President
and the Republic of Singapore
we will always support and defend
the Constitution
we will preserve and protect
the honor and independence
of our country with our lives!

After BMT, the short stint at OCS SAFTI, my life in 160 SQN, I think I have learnt much about being an officer. Seeing so many different officers and their style of leading, I believe I know more about being a leader. Hopefully I will be one that is able to inspire..

And here I am, an ADA officer to be, facing the new life of a commissioned officer in the days to come. The only thing that remains to be done before I become a full-fledged officer is to finish my Commissioning Parade. That comes with days of harsh rehearsals under the School Sergeant Major. Really a bit scared of it cos i've been to see our seniors rehearsing and the buckets of sweat they produce. Brr..

Now I'm here blogging with my eyes half-closed, taking to Zel who's on loudspeaker haha.. So very tired but happy.. The week has been good for me, Valentines Day (be blogging about it next time), RCGC, being able to come home ^^ etc etc.. I'm gonna be sleeping with my sword tonight!! Haha really crazy le..

Bleh.. really can't take it le.. guess I'm off to bed.. Tml still gotta book in AFS by 0700.. That means I have to catch the very first train out.. That means very little sleep for me.. Sigh.. Good Night!!
