POP Loh!!

Yesterday (130308) marks the end of the gruelling training for the 45th WOCC. Although it was only a short parade at our wing line, it was a significant moment for us. When we keluar baris for the last time as Platoon 1 of TANGO Wing, we shouted "P_O_P TANGO!!" with gusto n pride.

The nite before POP we moved our stuff over to Sierra Wing where we will be housed for our nxt phase of our training. When we marched back to Tango we sang n shouted our usual cheer. At that moment I can feel my eyes brimming with tears already but I holded it back. After a busy day packing our stuff n preparing the things for the parade, it was then it really hit hard that this was really our last nite together as one platoon already.

Now when I look back, 9 wks of training suddenly doesn't seem dat long. The 20 of us went thru a lot together. We definitely grown stronger physically n mentally with all the PT lessons n combat training. Everyone of us got a chance to be IC in different areas to let us have a chance to hone our leadership skills. I think the ppl I will miss most are the super friendly n young instructors @ Tango. They really made our BMT life very enjoyable n fun n they were super lenient to us.

I was know as Soo, Soh, Ah Soh towards the end of the training. It all started with my APC asking me if my surname is Soo or So. Then he proceeded to call me Ah Soh and before long almost everyone start to call me by my surname, Stone, Sharon Stone. Its amazing how many nick names I have.

I'm really glad I managed to pass my shooting though I really wanted to get marksman, achieved IPPT Gold after several attempts in SBJ, went thru the 24km route march. The only regret had was nt able to meet the timing for SOC. I couldnt make it up the low rope after the run down of 700m n dat caused a delay in my timing.

It's the start of my block leave n after dat is back to the confined area for another 2 wks before booking out. Hopefully I can meet up with the rest of my frens, eat gd food, slp, shop, HOLGA n nt forgetting to excercise in the coming wk.

I really miss the Anything Gals!!
