I just moved from SISPEC to OCS today!
Today as I moved out from SISPEC, on board a tonner, there were quite a lot of thoughts and emotions going through my mind. I was recalling the days in BSLC and the good/bad times in Bravo. SISPEC had taught me many things and it truly was the happiest NS days I had so far. And I'll truly miss the commanders, people of bravo and most importantly my bunkmates.
As the tonner reach the gates of SAFTI, I felt a sudden surge of excitement. I felt surreal. I just couldn't really believe I made it, and I am going to be trained to be an officer in the future. In the past, I always thought that I couldn't even survive BMT, let alone going to OCS.
I am currently in Echo wing, Platoon 1. The CDO told me that platoon 1 is supposedly the underperforming platoon, which is good because I am quite afraid that I am not 'up' enough as compared to the rest and I might pull them down. We're having a rather slack training schedule for the next two weeks! Most importantly, Echo is having off-in-leiu till tomorrow. Hence I got to book out today!! YAY. The Echo cross overs were super happy when they told us that we're booking out, cause we all were expecting to return to the civilian world earliest by Saturday.
Thank God man!! I miss ex. Scorpion King. The last field camp in Tekong left some psychological trauma on me that I am still trying very hard to recover. It was due to the wet weather and all the mud accompied with lots of rotting logs and stems covered in barnacles. It was just digusting.
I now find it difficult to feel comfortable with the soil and the jungle, even when it is dry. Yesterday during a live firing exercise, sitting on the ground made me feel really uncomfortable. I hope I'll be able to overcome this fear soon though.
I am also thinking of signing on as well, but definitely not as infantry officer. I'll see how it goes then, I'm calling up the recruitment centre tomorrow!
