t.o.w. the demise of the penguin

POPo!

So it is with much gusto and pride and perhaps a tint of regret that I say I completed my BMT! I must say towards the end, I grew really attached to the people and the island (of which this one comes under a regret). So even though my BMT experience was not nearly as complete as others in terms of military skills (again under regret for slacking too much), I do think I've learnt a lot about myself and where I fit in in this mayhemic place. But it definitely did not change me, it just reaffirmed what I had and perhaps enlightened me on what I tend to take for granted. All in all, a memorable experience with all time emotional highs (waving the platoon flag at the end of the 16k route march) and all time physical lows (field camp and scorpion stings). At the end of the day, I made a few fantastic friends and found a great encik who taught me quite a bit about life and all its crap, I must say.

I did become terribly vulgar in the process, but I do think I'll lose it back on the way.

And although it seems like I passed out, NS is JUST BEGINNING. I guess I'll just have to keep the faith and optimism that I had in the previous post and just keep on going. I know I'm not signing up for physical crap for sure but I guess theres a whole lot of crappish sergeants, warrant officers and officers that I need to be wary of and I guess that's where that comes in. I'm really ranting now, so shall stop.

So EXCUSE me.
