Nostalgia

I believe that many tend to cherish something more the moment they lose them. They take the things dearest to them for granted most of the time.

"I can't wait to get out of this screwed up place!" was the sentiments of many cadets when the training in OCS got a little tougher. I was one of them; to think that I expressed interest in getting into OCS. However, now that I am really leaving SAFTI MI due to my Professional Term posting to the Armour Training Institute at Sungei Gedong, I cannot bear to leave this 'screwed up' place. Furthermore, the many bonds forged will be tested when we all go our separate ways due to the different postings we receive. Looking back at the wonderful moments we spent in Tango Wing, I seriously struggled to hold my tears back.

Being part of the Video Team in my wing, I was tasked to produce a video of our life in Tango Wing to be distributed to every Tango cadet. Whilst doing the project, looking at the various clips of our training, fond memories flood my mind. Although I had very little sleep, staying up till the wee hours in the morning to meet the project deadline, I felt it was worth it. Looking at the end product gave me tremendous satisfaction.

Thinking of all the obstacles which I faced during training and the family and friends who were there to motivate and encourage me to carry on, I feel very blessed. Thank you to all of you out there, you know who you are!!Hahas..Therefore, for these people out there I will hang on during the tough times, and get commissioned eventually as an Armour Officer.

Take care peeps..Over and out.
