It's been almost about 9 months since I've enlisted in July last year (5 months since I've entered AFTC). The days seems to repeat itself and there seemed to be no end in sight. Training may seem to last forever but sometimes I find little things to motivate myself to keep pushing myself forward. Every week I'll try to find something to work towards to and last week my motivation was going back to
ALB to loan our
no.2 and no.1 uniforms! It was nostalgic going back to ALB as I recalled last year in June I was there trying on helmet sizes, combat boots, no.4 uniforms, etc for equipment fitting before entering tekong for BMT. Now, I'm trying on the sizes for RCGC and Commissioning Parade that most likely will be held at end of June this year. Just like that, 1 year has almost passed.
Loaning the commissioning parade no.1 uniform came with the AWO Wing and Officer epaulets. Although I have not earned the rights to wear it, just seeing it gives me a great sense of excitement and motivation for the final sprint of this training. In the weeks to come, I will have to sit for my final practical exam and theory exam before I earn the rights to wear the AWO Wing.
I'll hang in there and finish well with everyone else! :)
