the delta experience

Own it, live it, DELTA. This phrase perhaps didnt make much sense at the start of my OCS life in Delta Wing, but yesterday i understood what it meant. 14 weeks has given me a sense of belonging in Delta. i will miss my bunk, being the biggest and at the far end of the level. i will miss my buddy for the random singing and bitching. i will miss the sluts of the platoon. i will miss my sji bros who will stay in delta. i will miss the times when the platoon imitates me though its bloody irritating at times.i will miss the instructors each for their unique brand of teaching. heck i will miss everyone in delta and all the times we went through. i might even leave a space in my heart for the man who gave us hell in CLM. because at the end of these 14 weeks, it turned out to be a pretty awesome experience. the next 5 months will be so different before we come back to SAFTI again. Till then, the next phase of my officership training awaits me. though i am pretty neutral about my posting, i will continue to do my best and by mid december, hopefully the entire platoon will stand strong and commission together.i will always remember this first platoon and how we always were different and how we always seemed to rock. because deep down despite the tough times, i really enjoyed myself thoroughly.

'the past is history, the future is a mystery and today is a gift, that is why it is called the present'. but is what is happening today always a gift? why do so many people look forward to the future then if they are happy with what they have. i have learned in recent weeks that when you think you are in the worse shithole you can possibly in, someone will always be in a shitcrater facing worse than what you are facing. nevertheless, its not consoling to have things not go your way in almost every aspect. i have been spending quite abit of time with my family during this exceptionally long weekend and i guess knwing that your family is always behind you in every decision you make however worried it might make them is really heartwarming. been talking to my parents about the bad streak i am going through and how we discuss the possible options i have made me realise that they can give me the advice i need too. to be honest i have never really dicussed much with my family unless it requries their signature. i prefer to make choices on my own and it has been the case ever since i was a kid. i guess its never too late to make the family's opinion a bigger part in my decision making.

social night is coming up on wednesday and its pretty boring from what i hear from the other wings but oh well. if i get to signals and thats a huge if, i will be departing for brunei as early as the coming sunday.it seems fun minus the JCC the infantry men go through so there is reason to look forward to it. and by the time i get back, it will be block leave. so many things to look forward to especially the very well deserved break in my opinion from the past 3 1/2 months of training. having said this, so is the present really that awesome? i guess its a tough call for anyone unless you life is perfect now and it becomes a no brainer. life sucks but i guess not sucky enough to keep me wallowing in self-pity for too long. after all i have more or less survived service term. 2010 better come quick because i am all ready to kickstart everything in 2010

Live firing was awesome.We chionged for 1 hour before having massive lepak for the next 4 hours. It was pretty fun, talking about anything with the platoon mates. I remember my first post after entering OCS filled with that air of pessimism about the next 3 months. Well i believe it is high time i took those words back because what i judged in the first 3 weeks is flawed after the passing of 3 months with these guys. The past 2 weeks where the tempo of training was comparatively lower than the other weeks, i started to really talk to so so many people whom i never got the chance to know before. it is a little unfortunate that quite a number of them are deferring to pursue their dreams of being doctors or going to the top schools for their education. But theres always facebook and msn i guess.

Next week is going to be our scorpion king after it got postponed the previous time. Having been in a perma man mode the past 12 weeks, i was given the appointment of being the PS for our defense mission. so good luck to me and from what i hear, the job is going to be tough.4 days without sleep will surely add more pimples to the already infested face of mine. Maybe the joke about having red camouflage about some guy didnt turn out to be so funny after all and god is punishing me or somthing. Ah well. I guess i am also pretty much remaining in delta wing for the next 6 months based on what i see and hear.

Social night is coming very soon too and other then the location, it is something to look forward to. i happen to know most of the dates the delta dudes are bringing so i guess its gonna be pretty awesome minus the fact that its going to be some RJ homecoming but its okay. we can have our own VJ corner or something.Was watching the national school championships encore telecast thing and they were broadcasting the VJ soccer semi matches. I actually kinda miss match support and how all the girls would go hysterical when a chance to score comes along. College match support will always be more special than any other kind of match support and this is probably why college bball games in US are even broadcasted on ESPN.

Dad:"the guard looked dam surprised when i said picking up my son from delta wing"

i was surprised too that we booked out at no later than 7 pm today. so much for no welfare.but then its an off in lieu. but i am not complaining.2.5 weeks to grad march and 2.5 weeks more to know if i get to be speeding through skills or fighting in the jungle the next 6 months.
