recruit -> trainee

and so i'm back.
from my first week as a Signals Operator Trainee ...
no longer am i a recruit ...
but a trainee ...
which is basically the same thing , except that , my rank is Private !

let's just say i was most unlucky in my assigned course
and got the most chiong sua course at SI
i'm in the course that will result in my carrying a manpack radio set.

yet , for the past week , i've been studying like crazy !!
more so than i've ever done in school , or for school !!
add that to the PT ...
and i've been through one of the most mentally straining weeks in the army thus far !!

but for all that,
my bunk mates,
platoon mates ,
platoon sgt
and all those around have been great !

lets see how this course gets as we go on !

it's been quite a while ...

been about a month since i last typed an entry out
never found the time to pen down my thoughts

been rather busy during the last few weeks of my BMT
if i'm not out , i'm in camp
spent an entire Saturday on the 5th doing my BTP
booked out for less than 24 hours that weekend ...

time spent in camp the last few weeks was mostly spent
finishing up all PT activities,
clearing admin stuff,
slacking in bunk,
graduation parade rehearsals,
moving from K Coy to C Coy , which by the way has fucked up Bunks,
preparing for the epic 24km Route March
marched the 24k's
POPed the next

block leave has been great
really enjoyed myself , and i think i put on weight.
starting tmr , i'll be on course as a signals operator at Stagmont Camp
hopefully i'll be able to use the gym and do some OTOT !

will write more when i get the time .
i should probably start an offline journal , but i hate to write physically.

are you missing me ? cause i sure am missing you ):
