SAF DAY / PRE PHUKET

SAF DAY IS TODAY.
Or rather 2 hours ago.
Can't believe I have actually finished my 2 years journey of NS and ORD-ed almost 4 months ago.
Was looking at all the SAF day posts on instagram and my brain took me on a journey through BMT all the way to ORD.
It was an amazing journey.

All I could say is that I had an amazing journey.
With amazing people taking care of me throughout this journey.
Learn things that I can apply in life.
Became a more responsible soldier, a more responsible man.
As I walked back into 3 Guards tonight, I felt a sense of belonging.
It's like back home again after not booking in for 4 months.
And I'm so glad I actually decided to come back.
Haven't been back in camp since 8 March 2015.
Stepping back today just reminded me of all the NSF / Regulars that are protecting the country for us.
While everyone is enjoying their weekends, people are guarding the air, land and sea 24/7.
While you're sleeping soundly on your bed, some are probably doing route march, training for missions.
While you're enjoying your cup of coffee on a rainy day, some are enduring the rain out in the field, missing that warmth at home.
Not trying to be patriotic over here but as I think back on my days in outfields suffering, I'm definitely thinking of all the civilians being safe and sound and that includes my family and friends.
And I feel honoured to be doing that.

Hahahaha.
Anyway, congratulations to my PS for his promotion to Staff.
SO PROUD OF YOU.
I HAVE A PS WHO WEARS A STAFF SERGEANT RANK.
Hahhaha.
Saw a lot of faces back in camp.
Feels so surreal yet familiar when they still call me sir.
Really glad to have went back and spend time talking to them.
Really nice catching up.
Will come back again when the whole platoon is in camp hahaha.

Anyway it's PHUKET tomorrow.
Excited.
I'm going to sleep now.
Going to wake up in 2 hours 57 minutes time.
Just stressing that 57 minutes to stress that it's less than 3 hours.
AMEN.
Good night guys.
Sweet dreams.
Don't forget that somewhere out there in the field right now, there's someone using a night vision to defend his land, our land.
