Through Basics, We Excel

2 months. It seems like 2 years. But then again, it could even be 2 weeks. BMT was fun, painful, frightening and exhilerating all at the same time. Sometimes, waiting around (ie. rush to wait, wait to rush) can be really draining. Other times, achieving something (like running 2.4k in 9.39 mins) can be the most awesome feeling on earth. But looking back, it truly is vanity of vanities. Haha ok not to be a party pooper here but really the experiences I've had in BMT remain memorable only in the near future or until I get to a new unit (ie next week). But still, thankfully, all is not lost. Spiritually I've learnt to rely on God more. Be it asking for clouds to cover the sun or help in overcoming a test, the hardships and discomfort I face in the army provides even more opportunities to grow in faith :) So now that I'm no longer a recruit, I guess life should get better. More freedom, less babying and more responsibilities perhaps? Looking forward to posting on Friday. To be honest, i'm a little disappointed with my IPPT pass and how I might not get into OCS because of that. I mean, being top 10 in my platoon to me is quite an achievement already and perhaps being an officer would be something I would feel at home doing. But then again, SCS is not such a bad option either. More personal freedom, booking out on Fridays, no 3 week confinement, closer relationships with the men I command. Perhaps the best is to be content and trust that God has put me wherever I am posted to for a reason. Block leave this week. Anyone wanna go out, drop me a msg!!! Missing u guys :) ~In the silence...Im waiting to hear your voice~
