ssc was over. jus like tht. i got my lanyard, symbol of a UDI, and my staff sergeant rank. and yes, 3 days ended, alittle tests along the way, and many more talks, jus like tht.. i was kinda pleased, thr were minimum fatigue..
but thr were lessons to pick up along the way. esp from the platoonmates tht were suffering together with me for e 3 days.. from them, i can gauge how far sji ncc hav gone till, & which sch is very up to the standard too.. but it doesntt really matter, we are all still students, vying for education.. i made lots of friends, especially e csm/usm of other schools.. and got to know many diff. characters all over singapore.. i didnt really learn much from the course, but it reminded me bout who i am, and what i should do.. constant reminders are really very impt sometimes..
then my platoon commander was s/clt thinesh, i remembered him in my sch last time as a clt when i was sec 2.. he's also a josephian and its really cool to hav another josephian, passing on e passion even in ncc.. even though there mus be a line drawn between cadets and clt, i found tht thr's a certain bondage tht we shared la.. how i asked him bout whether i do well in the tests, and how he winked bac at me.. when he's not supposed to reveal anything.. haha
basically, its nothing much gained, but its not really a waste of time too.. i represent my sch, and i did wad i am supposed to do, to pass out as a staff sergeant.. i cant ask for anything more.. and tht's life sometimes.. we cant always get wad we want no matter how much we put in.. jus know tht i hav done my best, and i am thr for a reason.. be satisfied with wad u hav.. cos life's short, & we might not be in time to be satisfied be4 all is over..
