When I enlisted in the Army, I knew that I had to learn and be more self-reliant. The transition from a civilian to a soldier was made more gruelling because of the tough training we were put through. At that point, I felt that Basic Military Training (BMT) was the most miserable period of my life. In truth, I could not come to terms with the regimentation that we were subjected to.
Midway through the course, I suffered a bout of pneumonia which prevented me from completing my BMT. I was crestfallen because I was actually keen to complete BMT. I yearned for better things ahead.
I was soon posted to Supply and Transport Training School as a cook. Just as I was settling down, I was informed of my BMT re-course. I was disheartened. I had just begun to enjoy military life. I started having the same anxieties of BMT as I had before.
Before long in the BMT re-course, I learnt that this was going to be a totally different experience. Indeed through weeks of sheer hard training and bonding with my platoon-mates, we reached a point where we simply needed one anotherÂ’s support. I began to understand that strong bonds were the key to overcoming obstacles.
A particular incident left a lasting impact in my life. In fact, I felt that it was a turning point during my time in NS.
During our final Standard Obstacle Course test, my buddy and myself promised each other to complete the test successfully together. Along the way, he experienced great difficulty in clearing the low-rope obstacle. He was on the verge of giving up but realised that I was waiting right next to him. As I had already cleared the obstacle, my instructors were screaming at me to move on. However, I refused to budge – not without my buddy. At that moment, I was surprised at myself. I was even prepared to fail, to honour my word to my best buddy. With time running low, he harnessed every ounce of energy and cleared the obstacle. As promised, we passed the test, together. Such were the memories of my re-course that changed my outlook of NS for the better. -
