MY NSF LIFE part 1

Talking abt my NSF life, it marks a life which includes friendship, love, brotherhood, and taking up responsibilities and learning experiences. From a recruit, to a private, to a corporal, and den to a 3rd seargeant. A long 1 yr 10mths regimental life, loss of freedom, a love that i nv had a chance to explain how much i cared and 1 girl tat i failed to woo.

2008, 11th of July. I was officially enlisted into BMTC school 2 together with Wilfred, Yee Pong. The 3 of us were pretty optimistic at first, but once we reached our coy line after taking some noobsh!t oath, I realise I was posted to different coy, while fred n pong went to the same bunk in COY P, i went to COY R (raven).

There i met my first bed buddy, Tan Jun Wei. A really good fren... And also saw an old fren, Jason Koh! Life in BMT was like dog, tough but yet enjoyable coz of those funny pple ard me.
I felt very honoured to know this guy calle Ian Chan, he was a regular Pilot-to-be at that time.
He was really gd in the army stuff, we learnt much from him since day 1 and not to disappoint us, he was the company best soldier. In our very small section, we shared with each other many things from personal to army. I rmb i once talked to Ian during the field camp abt my girl, and his as well. It was a really good chat, being in that kind of situation(field camp), it make me feels im not alone. And during the last 2nd night, in our self-script, during my 1/3 alert timeslot, Ian was the platoon IC, he came to me to check out whether did i fall aslp and chatted with me to keep me accompany till my timeslot is abt to end. And most importantly not to forget the times we laugh and joke in our sea-facing bunk, we often sit tgt infront of the window after dinner to watch the sunset slowly setting into the evening sky. During the sunset, the 2 musicians namely, Frans and Ian, took out their guitar and start playing so we could enjoy a better sunset.
Finally towards the end of the BMT training, we had a OC evening, Ian n Frans played a wonderful piece of "Hotel California" tgt with the sweet vocal of Alan Ang. I wont forget how we hump and sing along with the guitars played from the famous hands in the Raven 3 Section 2 bunk. Its the MOST memorable and enjoyable experience in my entire NSF tat i can have such fun even knowing the fact that we're still serving the fking NATIONAL SERVICE.

Thank you all for making my 9wks BMT stay very enjoyable.
And on the very last day in BMT,i I march my 21km route march and POP-ed as a Private.

During this block leave, I got back in contact with one of the girl tat i fancied in the past. And soon manage to catch her pretty heart, held her hands and our love blossomed. But unfortunately this blossom didnt lasted. Which till now, i cant have my chance to say im sincerely sorry. Its all fated to be my regret.

After my BMT, I was posted to SISPEC, K COY. Knowing life will be so miserable there, that I was grumbling the first day. But soon i realise i still had a small luck with me, which is to have my old BMT section mate, Shane, with me in the SAME section once again. He told me to endure this shit together and POP as a CPL tgt. And after much encouragement, I decided to go with him, but though im not as good as him, i still hang in there till the very last min and POP as a CPL.
Seriously i wud say my stay in K coy Sispec wasnt a fruitful one. I din have much motivation to do things at tat point of time, but surprisingly, my physical status was the best in Sispec. Might be due to the fact that i know i have a girl out there tat will wait for me every wk end, tat i made this reason for me to push on for a peaceful stay and early book out every wk end, just to see her face. Day by day passed in Pasir Laba Camp, I got to know this kid call ah boy, he's really cute. I could still rmb his name is Tan Chin Han. A young boi... who eventually became my buddy after one guy OOC-ed. The days in Sispec passed on tgt with the memory of my ex-gf. And on the day we pass out, we were told where we will be going, some ASLC, some armour, some Recce, some Artillery, some Signals, some Air force, some Engineers. And for me, I was announced to become a Armoured Engineer Specialist.

And thats where we embark off into the next phase of my Specialist trainee life.
Next station - ETI(Engineer Training Institude). And so farewell Pasir Laba Camp! BYE BYE sispec!
