For the longest time I've always wanted to sign on to the military but life events and persuasions kept me walking on the beaten path of a "normal" life. But like in the movie, it kept calling me back. I struggled to convince both myself and those that cared for me of this bold move, knowing that it'll be a huge risk to leave the comfortable private sector and venture off into the "line where the sky meets the sea". I'ts been almost 1.5 years out at "sea" and it isn't smooth sailing (haha, pun intended) but there has been no regrets. I hope that those who are reading this and still contemplating whether to sign on, well, "there's just no telling how far you'll go". :)
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
Happy Total Defence Day!
As such is military life! It isn't easy doing manning at where you're at, and knowing that your job determines the defence of Singapore's skies makes it seem even more intimidating. but, don't be beaten down! it's because of such that needs you to persevere on! I'm sure the seeds you have sowed will reap benefits that will become apparent after some time! jiayou! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Cherie. I am so glad I chanced upon your blog. I have just been called down for a compass test this June and I am a ball of nerves. Your posts have so much insight and really answered a lot of questions I had looming in my head. Great to see something written from a woman in the force! Thanks again!
