MY NSF LIFE part 3

There we are, landed in 42SAR. With a fk up OC, Cpt Jacky, and a not so bad CSM, MSG Vincent. Soon after we came in, we had our induction, a reverse SOC, and i was the lucky one choosen to be one the stretcher HAHA!

Not long later the whole company went india for training. And thinkin tat there comes our ownage time. But however to our disappointment we were made AI for some bronco lessons.
Other den 1 lazy spec we have, the rest was actually doing well with their job. Bk and I were the admin specs, Kenny n Hee were the OVM specs, Wei Hao was the signals spec, and of coz Duane and I were the armskote spec. Wei Xuan eventually became our PS and at first there was some problem but as time goes by he changed and became a better PS.

Our men was considered very obedient as compared to other platoons. Other den our medic, the rest aint giving us any problems. And soon after living for quite some time in 42SAR, our OC finally changed to the BEST OC we could ever wish for, CPT LECK. Welfare was finally recovered after he took over the command. We practically had 4 and a 1/2 day work wk for every wk until before ATEC stage 1.

Life was fantastic until october draws near. We had to prep for Ex. Wallaby. Cleaning up every single shit item we have to bring there, field pack to boot lace, it had to be dust-free. Well until then i realise i had to accept the fate tat i'm slowly taking over the CQMS appointment from zhiwei. Finally the check was over and i was anticipating my role as a CQ in wallaby, Australia rockhampton. From ration to sleeping bags and safari beds i had alot of job to take care of since day 1 of my arrival. The pics on the previous posts are much to describe the living conditions there.

After wallaby, nxt high key was the LAB audit check. I officially took over CQMS and continue the job by preparing my store for the check. Making sure all the items was in correct amount and in servicable condition. But in the end, they din even check my store -.-
So after tat the new pioneer specs came in, took over most of our jobs, and I oso handed over my store. Finally this journey has came to an end for me, 1year 10months. Chao keng, report sick, real or fake, doesnt really matter to me anymore, i've missed too many things in my NSF life, and i dont even wan to get bothered by them. Parades, marching, drills, I had enough of them.

Now i'm moving out to the civilian world again, retriving my long lost frend, recovering my freedom, I feel more disciplined and motivated to work harder to achieve better results, acedemically and physically. I've got to know many good buddies during NSF life, even those old specs in my 42SAR, Brendan, YuanHong, Joseph. Elite soldiers such as, zongxuan, kheng loon, ke xiong, meng hee, leslie, jasper. Lazy bumps like duane and the MTR specs. All kind of pple that can survive w/o bathing for so many days, or slp even if they're standing. NS taught me many great lessons tat can nv b learnt from school. DISCIPLINE, ENDURANCE, GIVE AND TAKE, AND SWALLOW EVEN IF ITS HARD ON ME. Its a milestone tat toughens me up and prep me for the real world.

Im no longer a young chap, im 22. And i hope this journey which ends today, for me, will continue on with the rest who are still in service for the SAF, striving hard to protect the nation, and maintain the peace of the country.

I here by conclude my service for the Singapore Armed Forces - Full time Servicemen, officially ends today, 100510. The memories of my fellowship, brotherhood, fun times, tough times, will forever be inside my heart. Written here as a evidence of my existence, and for how long tis blogspot serves.

Good Bye SAF, Thank you for your teachings.
