Life after MOCC

MOCC came to an end last week. quite fast, in retrospect... though during the process i thought it was painfully long. These 4 months of spending time together has definitely set our vision in a different light and it is really an experience that I have gained and will remember, especially having been through a hiatus of 7 years of civilian life. I know some people better; I talk to people whom I probably have never talked to in my 5 years of tertiary education and 1.5 years in hospital; we see how people function in military; we see true colours; we bitched around and worked together hand in hand though the magnitude of assistance differs from individual to individual. hiakz, dunno when we will meet as a whole platoon again. difficult. almost impossible.

Come to think of it, we have really learnt quite a hell lot of stuff- from BCS, signals, navigation, lectures, directives, PT, FIBUA, field camps, mapex… dunno whether I will still remember them many years (or days) down the road. And kidos to all the instructors who make this possible.

ok.. so now we need to work for almost 2 yrs. My job is thought to be highly classified so i shan't mention it openly here heh... but i think i prefer to be in MOCC, or at least as a base MO. Doing staff job is definitely not my cup of tea, but as to whether it is worse than cheong sua, i can't really comment. Mental vs physical torture.

On call tomorrow =( (yes we do have calls in army, and there is no extra allowrance unfortunately. and no post call like in hospital).
