Finally At Last... The parade on the 24th of October signifies the end of my 16 weeks long Basic Military Training in the Home Team Academy. "Finally, its over...", I thought to myself. From reciting the Police Pledge and singing the National Anthem to the march pass, memories kept flashing back. Friendships made, skills and knowledge acquired and my life somehow changes in a way or another. As we march passed hundreds and hundreds of spectators as a squad, I've to admit that I was really proud about what the squad has achieved as a whole. Best squad we are, stature award won by the squad's best trainee and 3 OCT places were proudly won by us. Voices of joy were resounding around the academy as trainees were shouting "POPO!" after the parade. During the "photography session", I could see real emotions flowing through. I would definitely miss the days of BMT and all of my friends or rather most of them I would say. Next day, was my squad chalet at Aloha Loyang. It was a 2 days 1 night thing. This provides a great opportunity for us to bond with one another. Besides getting to know one another better, the squad also gets to know our OC squad and FI in greater depth. The squad went in cars to Changi Village for "sight seeing" and gambled bit in the chalet among ourselves. It was kinda fun. It might take a while before I can get to spend time like this with them again. That is all for now. For those friends whom I have not seen for quite sometime, lets meet up soon yea.. |
