Fond memories 8:28 PM

I recalled the first day of my enlistment day on 14 Sept 2009, where I reported to CMPB at depot road to join in the parade of affiliation ceremony. Opps I arrived late and my mum accompany me. Thinking that my loved one is beside me, probably nothing bad will happen. Luckily, there is another session for the next batch and don't need to travel to another unit as so coincidence, was posted to CMPB as well. After the ceremony, I was directed to a hall to collect my logistics, that include my no 3 uniform. I was rather happy and unmotivated! Happy in a sense that I don't have to go through the rigeous training. Unmotivated in a sense that there is no accompliament at all.

I started feeling happy and free where enrolled as ASA with OJT (on job training) for the first 2 weeks and there attached to the admin branch for admin work. Life is bored and everyday is just looking forward to go home. After some time, I entirely lost interest in this role. Allow me to share the reasons for upgrading my pes status.

1) With a NSF pay of $420 including the payment of insurance, that is just merely not enough Because that includes my transport and meal cost as CMPB do not have a cook house.
2) There is no sense of achievement and nothing to look forward to
3) As a able body person, I believe in making a difference in people's life
4) All my friends are just mentioning about life in BMT aka puala tekong. I would also like to experience a life of a normal soldier
5) I saw a friend who is an OCT, he came to CMPB for a medical checkup and he was rather sarcastic will he saw me. That is really a motivation to be where he is or even heighter.
6) I believe that I am healthy and physically fit person.

The above summaries my motivation to upgrade my PES status and that also spurs me to work hard in BMT. Wait on for my next blog.
