i'm back from field camp! haha..i'm so glad i've survived through the entire 7 days...felt lk a garang soldier now...haha...at least i didn't book out for interviews and got to return to company line for some survey..which means that i had no contact with any civilian stuff lk bathing or using a proper toilet.....but seriously, it wasn't that difficult to survive throught the field camp cause its really pretty slack...its only at some points of time u need to endure a bit and the rest of the time its pretty much ok...i rmb there times i felt i was going through a holiday camp..there were lots of free time and we pretty much enjoyed ourselves...our instructors were pretty much very lenient and there wasn't really much punishments given......seriously, this doesn't sound lk a bmtc field camp but i'm telling the truth...there was a half-day technical break where we had all the time to ourselves to do what we want...and our section spent the time sitting on the grd chatting with our saection commander..it was a great bonding session for our section mates as well as with sergeant nicholas...

i thought he really lked us a lot although he kept saying we were disappointing..actually we also lked him alot..he is the best sergeant and we must really count our blessings that we have him as our section's commander...he doesn't scold us with a stern look or get us a hard time...and we could really relate to him...maybe its because he's one or two months older than most of us...he's really the nicest sergeant in our platoon..but we must ensure we dun take his kindness for granted...the more he gives us a gd time, the more we shld perform up to his expections...i'm really glad that at the last day of field camp, our section didn't disappoint him...our fire trench turned out to be the best in the entire company and every one including him earned a half-day off...we are very proud of our achievements and i'm sure he's proud of us...at least we put back much pride back in him cause for the past few days, he has been chipped by our ps and pc for our substandard performances....btw, sergeant nicholas also helped out in digging our fire trench while we have our dinner on sat...have anyone seen a sergeant willing to put aside his rank and help his section to dig? its very rare and i'm really impressed...

another than getting to appreciate our sergeant and knowing him better, there were times where i really thankful abt the stuff that happened...there were sources of motivation and strength which also assisted me throughout the entire field camp and i'm really glad everything went well...it really glad to know someone is beside you guiding you with your actions and ensuring everything is safe and sound...lk when i felt drowsy from my medication during route march, when david lost his washer and even when everyone thought we almost couldn't get to book out...

i'm gladful everything went smoothly and thing were fine..the next event coming up will be the sit test...
