BMT update
after 1month and 2weeks…i hav officially attended BMT =) which means i hav completed my live shoot and a 5days 4nights field camp! looks like the last hurdle to cross is IPPT…then i would then be considered as officially completed BMT.
well…juz gonna update abt wad i hav been up to in BMTC:
juz completed my field camp yesterday and everything ended on a high note which was a good thing. ever since i joined NPCC as a cadet in sec1…field camp has always been something i really look forward to cuz its e only event where i can really see who i am and what are my limits. army field camp is no difference…it really places u in an environment where comfort is invisible. luckily for me…it only poured on the 1st day which is quite rare according to my sergeants. field camp is also one event where i go through thick and thin with my platoon mates…a place where we kena tekan together…sleep on rocks and sand together…eat combat rations as if they were MacDonalds and KFC together…learn what TEAMWORK really is. anyway…field camp ended with a bang literally as the whole platoon were made to go through a course full of obstacles and with live GPMG rounds firing over our heads…all i can say is that its really unforgettable!
well…personally i enjoyed this field camp tremendously as i could see myself putting all my heart and soul into the training as i set my sights on becoming the Company Best Trainee. this field camp has also awakened my passion for wanting to serve in an uniformed organisation…the growth of each trainee and the hard work of each sergeants/instructors reminded me of why i wanted to become a Cadet Inspector so badly after my secondary NPCC life ended. maybe thats why i want to become a SAF scholar so that one day i hope i can be posted to BMTC as a instructor and continue to nurture and see boys become men.
the next few weeks will be packed with other trainings such as grenade throwing and SIT test for suitability for command school. looks like i gotta keep my physical and mental toughness going! its gonna be a tough 1month for me with a CNY break in between…well hope everything goes well =)
hope to catch up with my friends during e CNY break…really miss talking to all of you.
thank you sean for always being online somehow…haha! well…i guess like u said…its called ‘mo qi’! LOL! ill tell u more abt field camp some other day.
gotta return to camp! see ya ppl!
