My emotions went on a roller coaster ride for the past 2 weeks, I guess it's the most number of transitions I've encountered in a short period of time.
POP: Happy
OOC: Disappointed
Life as an ooc: slack and relax, so happy
Temporary RP at CDOTI: Every 2 days can book out and stay out, still get to wear the commando badge, even happier!
Last only for 2 days, posted to 40 SAR armour: Sian, the happiness was short-lived.
Booked in last wednesday 21/04/10: Lost, didn't know what to do. Everyone there already got their own stuff to do, and the other 5 CDO posted together with me, well we just sat together cause even the instructors there didn't know we'll becoming. They said the CSM got a shock of his life, lol!
Wednesday-Friday: Super slack cause nothing to do. Wake up, 5BX, breakfast, go back bunk sleep, lunch, go back bunk sleep, dinner, RO, sleep.
Friday afternoon we were told to become drivers, to drive M113 AFV. Super happy, and the people there say we were damn lucky, hahah!
This whole week from monday to friday: In the midst of a 5 weeks driving course, learnt how to drive, learnt all the theory, which is a lot! Have to memorise all the things for the test. Then also need to maintain the vehicle. Like mechanic sia, need to top-up oil, open all the vavles, etc...They say our uniform will be dirty for the rest of our army life.
Got a lot of other things to write, but under the blah blah blah code of act of security, cannot reveal all.
All in all, my life somewhat is turning for the better. Still no life though, but other than looking forward to ORD, there are many many other breaks in middle.
24/05/10 (tentatively): Get black beret! Still like the red beret much better though, oh well...
Nov-Dec: 1 month in australia! Hope it'll be fun
05/02/11: 2nd year soldier! The seniors said there is a huge difference between 1st year and 2nd year, more freedom and more slack =)
04/12/11: ORD!! Lol maybe will have more breaks in between, but for now that's all =)
