The journal

the amazing journey of military life has come to an end. from humble beginings from a recruit to a private. was a tough life as a trainee. had to train under the burning hot suns and the windy cold nights. braving all the elements and surviving through every single one of them. spending 5 months on an island is no means an easy task. being so near yet so far from home makes one go crazy. before promotion to corporal, was transfered to a cadet and it was a huge transformation.

demands of a cadet was high and it resulted in a lot of sacrifices. life was tough but with a huge learning curve. fruits of labour for a cadet was sweet. and the sweetness lingers on forever, because you have found friends through the process.

after earning the authority, the price to pay for the authority is responsibility. something which nobody taught you how to handle till you have it on your shoulders. and it was heavy. not only do you have to answer for your own actions but you also got to answer for those working directly under you. you;ll realised the importance of working together as a team and the pain of working for. you also learn how to survive by any means necessary. but nevertheless, you still found the friends worth working with. which makes everything nothing but worthwhile.

what do I think?
