First update since enlisted 2 weeks ago!
Army was great, overall. I can't really describe it in words. There are times when it was really tough to get by psychological setbacks but there are also times when we, as a section, a platoon, a company or even a battlion would be able to overcome challanges and obstacles that stood in our way.
Basically, for our PTP phrase, we had strength-cardio exercises daily, that include CPT 1, which is the warm up exercises plus movement drills, and CPT 2, which include pull-ups, crunches and powerjumps plus medicine ball and dumbell training. We also had speed training every once in 2 to 3 days, and also AGR which basically divides us into 4 different groups, A/B/C/D respectively. Being in Group A meant that I had to train harder, run faster and do better, and that the pressure was on us to out perform the rest.
We had our first foot drill practice on day 2 and since I was in UG before, I had a slight advantage many others. We also had area cleaning, tons and tons and tons of water parades, funny times together.
We had our 3rd road march, 3km, today before booking out. I remembered we had our first road march roughly a week ago. It was seriously draining and the aftermath of that march always ends with a dreadful headache that lasts for close to an hour.
Most of my section mates were great people, and that I've worked well with the platoon as well. Only now then I know why they say that when you are in the army, you get to work with people who are different in many ways. And man, how true is that.
Anyways, Mum, sister, Jacjac and Sheryl came see me in during enlistment day, many thanks.
OC reminded us that real HELL is coming this monday, after another 3km road march. I shall remember his 'wise' words. HAHA.
Cabbed home with Yong Quan, bunk mate (:
