Last 3 weeks

Today marks the last 3 weeks of my time over at Tekong. Most of the crucial events have been done. Last 2 events left now; IPPT and SOC. Probably SOC isn't the main issue of concern due to the low 5% passing rate, based on history.

Short weekend break for me this week due to my SIT Test, which ended on Sat, and only managed to book out at 730pm. Not a bad thing afterall, at least i don't have to vex about what to do over the weekends. Too much time for me now, isn't a good thing. All my stupid emo will start coming out again.

Just on the day of my SIT Test, i was appointed platoon IC. Something i wasn't expecting to, yet it's something one have be at least once, to have a feel of how it's like to be a leader, whereby you have to control your men. On the downside of it, you are responsible for the whole platoon and you get tonnes of extra work. Just imagine booking out without bathing when most of the platoon did.

During my SIT test, the accessor for my detail who is an Officer, after knowing that i'm waiting for my pending medical test for the pilot vocation, asked me the same killer question again. Why do i want to be a pilot? Before i could even try to come out with a better answer for him, he told me he was one of the dropout pilot trainee 10 years ago.

And that he told me he wasn't allow to downgrade his vocation to something else, so he's stuck with his rank for the 12 years contract, yet wasn't able to enjoy the $3,000+ flying allowance unlike those certified pilots. Pass out rate given by him: 30 over 3000 trainees. I'm sure you guys can work out the percentage relatively easily.

Again, so much to write, yet nothing to type. During our 12km route march last thursday, my platoon started singing songs after we got sick of those army songs. Probably that's how we managed to complete the tiring march and be able to still laugh at our own editing of the songs we sang.

One that captures me most is the one you're listening to now. This song is a cover by the group New Found Glory, originally by The Wonders. Meaningful lyrics yet again, even though it considered to be a rather old song.

Enjoy the song, though it's abit noisy for most i believe. That's all i have for this post.

I don't care anymore, because i care way too much.
