I will forever remember my time in Eagle company, the commanders and great section mates i had. I still remembere my first few days were torrid. I cried for the first few days because i truly felt that i missed my family. However, i quickly got used to life there. Eagle company was like a huge family with good camarderie spirit and much happiness. The commanders took care of us very well and my OC CPT Fong XiongKun was an incredibly nice man. He respected everyone of us and as a recruit, i can tell you this is usually not the case.
It was a shame that i couldn't be involve in the POP parade and 24km route march because of my back problem but honestly, i just could not do anymore. I wished i could have a healthy body but it just wasn't to be. It was really a shame not to have completed everything with my brothers in arm, with my comrades. However, i know that it will be a greater shame if i dedicate my everything for army. I will never sacrifice my body and put my body on the line. I just cannot afford to do that.
In my 5 months, i have lost a total of 17kg. I knew i could have done more if i put in much effort. Sometimes i really enjoyed myself over there and i know i will not be seeing my section mates again for a long time. It's weird because after seeing them everyday,eating and going through all those shit together for 5months, suddenly you will not be seeing them anymore. My heart sometimes just feel empty.
Whatever it is, my next phase of army life will start soon and i really hope i can get a good posting with good people around me.
