Is way too long that I have updated this little space of mine, It really takes time to update this space as how much life have been busy so far.
a little update about a month ago, I kept my Green Uniform away and started to step into the world of being and civilian again.
Conquered countless of field camps ,LKY State Funeral, Motorised Infantry Training, ATEC I, ATEC II and finally what I have been waiting for, ORD Parade.
This point of time, Many people in the army knew they would be very happy because when the time comes everyone got 3 things back from what army have taken from us when we first started off.
First, Needless to say? the long 2 year search for the pink IC is finally back in our arms and we could forsake our green one.
Second, Freedom. The long awaited freedom we wanted when we back in camp where we can't have stuff we wanted to eat, the things we wanted to do outside camp and of course the basic rights of things that we wanted in life is doing the things we like at our free time.Well, the term freedom have a lots things can be defined. Don't need to list them down.
Lastly, Is time, the most important stuff in our life.Now that we have finished the toughest part of our life, we have more time, more time to spend with friends and family.
But not upon realisation lots of us also lost a lot of stuff when we laid down the uniforms.
1.Money-
for the past 2 years we have been well fed by the army and every month we are paid a amount of allowance to survive it thru our weekends but when its come back to reality as a civilian, now we need to thing the amount of money we spend on food, the amount of money to save and the amount of money to spend on other stuff. which causes a big headache to us
2.Friends-
Speaking Frankly, Yes, we do see each other every reservist but not all of us will be in serving in the same time as some needed to defer for different reasons that caused some of us to be separated and thus, some of our friends and indeed lost.
3.ETC-
Well, Other then all the stuff above, as an civilian needed to think a lot of stuff ahead.
Like What job should we find?
Should we study first ?
should we work then study?
and many more.
Frankly Speaking, I am starting to miss my section mates. times we enter the field complaining how long this field camp will be and times we setup a building with our little touch lights and brighten the whole level and make it like our bunk a little to make field camp less painful.
Complain how bad was the ration or combat ration is. As well limited amount of water and food but we still shared it among ourselves.
I truly thankful with the section mates i have. Thank you guys you made my army life a little less painful to walk.
Now that i am back in civilian and started working back as an Promoter, Lots of lost things that i needed to catch up. Knowledge of phone and etc. of course knowing school is starting in Sept I need to kick the lazy habits and start going back to books.
Things ahead is uncertain but as i always believe, hard work will be paid off one day and one day i will be the person I wanted to be.
I am really excited to face my next phase of life. till then goodbye.
