It’s been around 4 months since I’ve enlisted into the army and everything seems to be going fine unless my platoon mates decides to do something stupid. I realised how people whine about army, saying army life sucks, weekend burned and everything. But yet in the army, you can see them strive for the best like IPPT, SOC and the rest of the test related stuffs. You also see sergeants more and more like normal human beings instead of some torture machine from hell. But i suppose i was lucky because to be really honest, my sergeants are really really nice people. Of course we do get knock it down by them when our movement is slow and all but this is seldom the case. Even my Sir is even younger than me! People ask me, “You’re really 22 then call people 2 years younger than you a Sir, are you not embarrassed?” What’s so embarrassed about calling someone 2 years younger than me a Sir? He certainly earned his rank and the training he goes through is certainly in need of stronger mentality and physical which made him excel and hence the rank. So does the same thing applies to my sergeants. My only regret was not being able to be at least a Sergeant during army but i shall aim for the highest rank i could ever achieve in NS and that would be the Corporal First Class. But i need to clear my IPPT to Gold first. (I’m now at sliver!)  Soon, ORD would be soon enough.
