"We are brothers in arms..... We Are Brothers Bound to Be
We are the first , The One and only infantry........."
3 months plus of army life in Pulau Tekong has ended..... everything seems so fast but the experiences that i encounter will be a lifetime of memory to me.
From the first day of enlistment, where everyone being strangers till e last day of POP ( Passing OUt Parade ) 6th December..... Tears , Sweat , Dirt , Bonding .... i gonna miss my pals in army. WE are buddies and yes this memories will be will me till e ends of the earth... sleeping with these ppl and crapping ... having fun and pain thru training..... team spirit... honestly i am speechless and all i am typing now are my feelings plainly.
Initially life in army was hard , especially being a christian to be surrounded by 12 ppl from all walks of life.... i often told myself this verse which i wanan share " I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." Jn 12:46 .... i reminded myself that i shall be the light , help ppl ... make more friends and be less impatient, be less agitated by small stuff.... and yup....
Days of training under hot sun.... often i do lose my physical self and many much often relied on the help of God my Lord..... and Praise the Lord .... i manage to say my prayers before every meal.... * Cheers* and yup... i got a silver for my IPPT ... *cheers* thru God everything is possible and yup i'm one of those few who got it and was told by my commander to help the rest with their physically.
But theres sad stuff too... especially for 3 months i am unable to attend Cell Grp... and there were weeks where i cant attend services due to army constraints.... i feel so empty abt it and whenever i do feel down i am really down.
From Strength training , Ippt test , Field Camp , Sit Tests , Games day and etc.... i made many many friends... yet being unable to reach out to them is one major down side for me but i will not give up.. i will miss everyone from Scorpion Company .... and i will keep them in prayer.... I am on leave now till 19th of Dec and by then i would know my new posting and now i have 2 weeks free to go CELL GRP........ YERAHaahahahahaha...
Army had made me a more mature person i suppse ..<---- Jane commented that .....
And i honestly have a new perspective abt army.... and i believe every singaporean boy has to be in the army to become man.... and the experience at BMTC will definitly be a sweet memory to everyone....... I love my Pals ... from Scorpion Platoon 1 .... especially those from Section 4 .. and the song " Infantry Song" will bring memories and i hope we will still keep in contact and of coz be friends forever......
Ps: i will type out more abt my army experiences in days to come..... i got to attend my Grandma's wake ... she has sadly passed away on 051205 ..... but rejoice too coz my Lord my God has promised me .... " Believe in the Lord Jesus , and you will be saved -- you and your household" Acts 16:31
