Today is special because it’s been 1 year since I ORDed. I look back, and time seemed to pass so fast. My last handshakes with Zhichao, Waiseng, Hanwei. My last salute to my boss, CPT Tan. My last smirk at my fat assed CSM, MSG Mani. And my last basketball match with my fellow instructors in BMTC1. Those days we spent drinking in the mess, getting drunk in camp. Those days we played Winning Eleven in the bunks all day long. Those days we ‘tekan’ed our recruits to make them better soldiers. Those days of area cleaning, bunk inspections and POPs. Time of fishing, sleeping and playing Playstation outfield with my boss. Sad to say, I do slightly miss those times, but… A toast to freedom and liberation. An 1 year old NSman. So many more to go.
