Finally my time has come. The taste of having freedom again just feel so damn good. No more waking up before the sun rise, no more runs, no more SOC, no more SAR21, no more outfield, no more camo cream, no more walking, no more missions, no more digging of trenches, no more officers who are a pain in the ass(there are some good ones though) and no more stay-in!!!!
But honestly, as i lock my office door for the last time, i just cant help but feel something for my battalion. There are alot of hard times, in fact, there is only hard times! haha. but it is through the hard times that sometimes reveal who we really are. and till date, i am quite please with what i've done. i am not perfect, i could have done alot more but i still think i did pretty well. My boss even said he havent seen such a responsible IC in a very long time. and though i am the newest guy in my plt(i only enter my battalion for less than a year as compared to 1.5 for the rest), my boss all trust me more than anyone else. esp when i was 'forced' to be 2IC for my platoon.
I cant say that i enjoy time in 3SIR. in fact, i hate it. all the nonsense that they do, all the extra stuff we have to do, and all the weekends i have to be in camp just to serve the duties. most of the time it drives me nuts. but at the end of the day, i survived being in an active unit. all the missions, the operations, the training, the UO demo and the most xiong event; ATEC!
Thinking back, my NS life have been quite good. i love my BMT( Scorpion rocks!!), SISPEC was damn fun, 3SIR was tough but fulfilling. the best part of NS is probably the friends that i've made through all the courses i went to. esp SISPEC. really glad my section still remain as friends and when we're free, we call and email each other to keep in touch. this is probably the best part of NS
Now that i going to ORD, its not really the end but the beginning of serving NS. the future to me is still a big question mark to me. what will i be doing, will i go outfield again, or will i just stay in office and slack is still very unknown. but whatever it is, i think it wont be that bad. really like to thank the people who been through NS with me. every single friend i made in NS, and my friends outside NS who are always cheering me on (you know who you are). every encouragement made me go a longer mile then i would have. so thanks ;p
P.S. ENJOY YOUR 2YEARS RECRUITS!!!!
