looking back at that moment
Saw this pic on Kerf’s blog, and decided to post it up too! Look at the tower. And the sunset. The parade square, not just any one, but the one at SAFTI MI. Our exuberance, the newly commissioned officers. All the meanings behind the architecture at SAFTI MI compound.
To the 2 who dared to flirt with the idea of joining the very best.
Eugene lasted till the first day of the week 3, the night just before all hell began. I went on for a further 4 days, tahan-ded till the last day, just before the last evolution, after that fateful interview with Commander, SOF.
my 2 entries then. here and here.
looking back, it darn well was a good experience. Would have loved to have prepared for it more, so that i would cruise through the evolutions and not suffer so much! But hey, how many NSFs can tell me they dared?
Wah! looking back, exercise so slack ar! still can go around finding people to take photo. But it was December, and it was my last 2nd exercise, when i realised, hey i don’t have photos about my unit life! So i started walking ard taking some. Lucky not many people can “gan” me for doing so. Just check on some troopers along the way as well. 2 birds with one stone eh?
24 crew. 24, 24 driver (dianwei), and 24 gunner (alwyn)
Both interesting characters. Dianwei will finish army and seek work opportunities with his secondary level qualifications. Alwyn will pursue his vet degree at Edinburgh or Murdoch Uni, under the AVA scholarship. He is my NJC junior, tho i didnt know him then! First guy to get AVA scholarship. not bad eh?
