week 4
I would like to finish a book, a gradual accumulation of life and experiences. It would be so interesting, so intriguing, if I were to look back one day in my fifties.
I don't know why the hell am I typing this.
34 weeks to go. 34 weeks of mental training, grinding left. I like. I like torture in the mind. It's really fun. Yesterday we did area cleaning FOUR times before booking out. First inspection started at 1130, but we booked out at 1510.
Is this the only thing in my mind now? I feel as if I've been drained of life and vigor. I need to vivify myself. Water from a spurting spring, which used to form a rainbow, now rains and slaps the grey ground.

3weeks
I was there for 3 weeks in Foxtrot. Amazing company.
Sorry for security reasons I should not say any more about my first 2 weeks inside.
After my first 2 weeks, I got posted to Midshipman Wing. I'm in the NAVY! I just thought of how small a chance one gets to go navy. Only 5% make it to navy and commission. Dropout rate is high due to training. And if only 10% make it to OCS, naval officers make 0.5% of the cohort.
I can't say anything much because of possible security breaches. Must watch evrything I blog that I reveal any sensitive information about SAF. Except the first 2 paragraphs, all info is officially provided.
Initially it was really damn sian. It's not that my bunkmate is very boring or what not, but u don't get the kick and craze with many others. It is also a whole new environment. That was the first week understandably.
My first week in navy was tiring. We have to learn much and that means less sleep. A lot of training following up la, 35 weeks to go. All the way :)
At least now I'm motivated. I felt no sense of belonging, eliteness nor elevation when I entered OCS. What the hell, it isn't that hard given my physical aspects. But now I feel a sense of belonging to the navy, though it's too early to say. One main factor is because I was once from NCC(Sea). It's definitely fulfilling to back to the sea again.
