If u ask around, everyone will say that they dun believe that they have just gotten their red beret.
And so do I!!!
lol, it's just unbelievable that I actually survived all the commando's tough trg and got my beret.
Most imptly, I can't believe I just finished walking 72km around ECP for 2 days without slp.
And u know wad, we are the first batch which they tried with a MISSION before the 72km Route march.
Usually all of us would be pretty much shagged after every mission, but this time, it's even worse.
we were inserted at night and had to walk throughout the night to get to the objective and fight from there, and we had to redo coz it's not good enough, and after that we were supposed to be given 7 hours of absolute rest but in the end we only got 3 hours, WTH!!!!
and after that we straightaway start our route march under super hot weather..
the first 12km was still quite ok, felt pretty relaxed and motivated during the walk, but as night falls, the eyelid became so heavy that at several instances, i'm like sleepwalking, terrible man...
started from ytd 4pm and walked till today at around 3pm den end...shagged!!! and had to carry on with the parade with 2 feet full of blisters and abrasions at several parts of the body..

Well, it's indeed a painful and tough journey for us, esp when we are just a NSF, but what matter most or rather what i learnt during this tough period of time is that ur buddy is very impt in the sense that he is the only source of motivation u can find in times when u are extremely tired or felt like just giving up.
When i first stepped into the bn, i hated the trg and outfields so much that i felt like faking out an excuse to get out of commando, but it was those ppl around me that made me wanna stay and fight with them and earn this beret with them.
Trust me, it's really really not easy gettting this beret, esp for our batch, haha, so i think our beret is alot REDDER than the rest of the cohort...LOL!!!
yay!!! had leave till wed morning, can enjoy abit more liao, but i guess i'm gonna crash some courses in uni and see if i shld change my course....

so sorry that i can't upload the super interesting videos and photos here due to security reason....
