Private Teo! Finally after 4 months of life as a recruit on Tekong, I have finally graduated. And what a grand graduation it was, starting 24km route march starting from changi ferry terminal all the way till the F1 paddock, via East Coast Park and part of the Benjamin Sheares bridge. And man was the graduation parade on the floating platform worth the wait. With all the parents on the stands and the parade only lasting 2 hours (though the rehearsals took days to get the procedings right), my mates and I have finally graduated. Even though we only had less then 2 hours of sleep after our route march before the parade, adrenaline kept most of us awake and through the parade. I had blisters all over my two feet and after i got home from the parade i took a long bath and an even longer nap to recharge my batteries.

4 months of training all boiled down to the 2 hours. All the field camps, sit test, life firing range and even the once in a life time hand grenade throwing would definitely stay right in the deepest vaults in my memories as one of the most memorable times.

Now with only hours away, I am preparing for the next phase of my ns life which is in the specialist cadet school to train to become a sergeant. Its not really what i target to go but its still better then nothing. I stil have roughly 2 months to train hard and hopefully be able to make the crossover criteria and crossover to officer cadet school. Its not going to be easy though but I am setting that as my goal and will definitely work up and hopefully i would be able to reach it at the second time trying. All hands on deck for me to meet this target of mine which could be the turning point in my life.

Alright thats pretty much what i have to update after so long. Hopefully i can return here with good news in a few months time! I am out!
