Yep, this is my first time actually blogging. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, and suddenly found a lot of free time on my hands. I guess blogging is a good way to occupy myself, and maybe help me forget unhappy things.
Ok, now for a short intro about myself... Im currently serving NS, only about 3 months have passed since I became a botak. BMT happened very quickly for me, made lots of good friends along the way. It was like in a blink of an eye, and there we were in the parade square tossing our jockey caps. Then came my posting. I was being posted to SISPEC. There was something in the posting that I was worried about: Vocation : Infantry Leader. So what the hell does that mean? Will I be stuck for the rest of my NSF life as an infantry soldier? Gotta find out more about that from somebody...
Only just now, I was packing up my duffel bag and field pack with my SAF issued items (which means all the uniform and rubbish they gave you at the start). I was relieved that I could actually stuff so much shit into my bags and still close them. The only thing that I have not packed in is my helmet. I think the one item that can make you faint with just a sniff would be my beloved helmet. Throughout the field camp, sitest, and the numerous route marches... can you imagine the amount of sweat and smudged camo cream have the helmet eaten? Although I have washed it with my best effort, it still stinks like bullcrap... Before I pack it into my duffel bag, I want to re-tie my camo netting, as its really fucked up with the strings messed up on the inside.
I'm having mixed feelings about going to SISPEC... heard that training there is really tough, so im mentally preping myself for the tough days ahead. My buddy (Barry) is really a great pal, and he too is posted to SISPEC. Hope that we will become buddies in SISPEC again. You know, having a good buddy can really help you to cope with hard times.
Maybe its a bit boring for now, but do stay tuned for what goes on in my first week in SISPEC...
