Sigh....
navigations are the words.
This is my own space to let it out. especially when theres no one to talk to that true understands or try to understand me.

first update after enlistment...
technically, i'm not in bmt yet...
i'm not strong enough, not fit enough,
so i ended up in the PTP phase.
objective is to bring myself to a whole new level to be ready for everything that comes at me.

the main thing i feel regarding life in the regiment, is first to change the mindset, it may sound corny to tell urself that after taking the oath and shaving the head, ur on ur way to be a soldier. but it is true. the faster u accept that fact the faster u adapt the faster u perform the faster it progress.

many people go in thinking, how can they slack, how can they relax. but guess life is not like that. its alot more different that wad they say outside. as for me its gonna be my career, i'm gonna give it my best. i faced difficulty, i got to learn to overcome it.

personally i'll advice my friends who yet to enter the army, please go train urself physically,mentally. when they say dun worry, the army will train u, i agree on that but trust me it will be a hell lot easier if u start early be4 u enter. else u'll probably be in a whole of pain... also try to find things to motivate urself to get thru things. NEVER give up, regardless its physical training, or life inside. juz have to suck it up take it like a man, Tough man... coz if u give up, things probably will get and feel alot worst. when u try ur best, not only u will gain, become stronger, u'll feel life slowly gets easier.

in short, life in the navy is not what they say, easy and slack, it is on;y that way only when u learn and ways and strong enuff.

regimental life is very very very simple, but not and never will be easy. everything is step by step, routine, but never try to compromise the rules or pay the price.

some may like it some may not. but grow some pride, ask urself, u got 80 years to live, how much do u wanna achieve in the 80 years.

so far, i've been in there doing alot alot of physical training, twice a day everyday. train till it ache, and continue till it stop aching. u'll feel urself getting stronger by the day. food wise is considerbly good, welfare is never better. and getting fucked is almost certain everyday. a few things i learn so far, proper warm up, exercise, drills, and alot of standard things. some principles that i learned "HIT" (Honor, Integrity, Teamwork) a few motivational phrase to push myself on, " Tough time dun last, Tough man do", "Mind over body", "There is no "I" in SEALs", "Good Deal For Good SEALs". even though we'r not divers or commandos or even the navy seals, all this are priciples that is true. integrity, when u screw up u pay the price, accept it and move on, every action has a consequences, u do good u earn the priviledge, u screw up ur reward is pain. so guys and gals, all i can say is suck it up.

so far 10 days, i went from a chao recruit to a maggot, up to a division IC and now a Company IC, i screwed up a number of time. but kept in mind the ABC, no Argue, no Bargain, no Complaint. adapting at first wasn;t easy, but as time pass the fast u accept the reality the better u will get. and advice to u lot, my staff-sergent tell us, assumption is mother of all fuck up. so never assume. in a few hours time, its time to revert myself back to a soldiers mindset, and tackle the next 6 days.

message to add, i really dislike Rounds(aka standby bed/bunk/area) got to learn attention to details. looking forward to BMT in 3 weeks time, and POP in 2 months 3 weeks. wish me all the best.

short term goal: IPPT SILVER, followed by gold.
