POP lo!
In the early morning march, with my fieldpack on my back, with an aching in my ass and my body full of sweat….
Finished my 24km route march at around 7am after walking e entire night without sleep before a quick wash up. Soon, we were all formed up and ready to march in into the parade square. While waiting, I decided to do some reflection.
FINALLY! It is POP day! It marks the end of my BMT phase which only serves to signify the beginning of another new phase as a private soldier. Well, the past 3months or so have been rather memorable except for some unhappy moments. I guess I will never forget the following activities no matter how hard I try.
1. Field Camp
2. SITEST
3. NE presentation4
4. 24km route march
These are the events where you and your platoon mates really go through thick and thin. There are times where you feel like giving up and yet these people will be around you, supporting and encouraging you throughout, edging you on so that you will not succumb to your weak mind. However, there will always be instances where one event or one small minor argument will just spoil everything. Just so that I do not spoil my own mood now, I do not wish to elaborate on this matter.
Well…so we marched in and did our parade with pride! And when it came to finally throwing our jockey caps, it was all worth it! I can finally say I passed out from BMTC School 1!
POP lo!
