back from ict
Hey people, I am finally back from ICT. How are you guys doing?
It's my first reservist training and I felt emotionally overwhelmed by it. Haha. Well, not that it matters anymore. Anyway, the training wasn't as tough as I expected, and the friends I managed to caught up with was much worth the time and effort spent. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, all good things come to an end. Starting from the next ICT, I will no longer possess the pride and honour of calling myself a Tank Commander. I will be obliviously living in denial if I tell you I am not sad and disappointed. The 19 weeks that I spent as a trainee, the pride I take in being a Tank Commander, the honor of being a Tank Instructor, these are the glory I will not have a chance to bask in anymore. Losing a proud part of my proficiency is not something I appreciate.
SM1 may not be a good tank, but it was one that I took satisfaction in learning, and differentiated me from anyone else. I wished that I had a chance to advance into MBT training, but looks like fate placed me elsewhere. I am no longer at the forefront, no longer able to whack enemies, no longer possible a proud commander in the field. Goodbye, old friend.
This is probably the last time I will wear a coverall.
Bottom line, life goes on.
S3A had a mini-gathering before I headed for ICT last Saturday. Haha. Xiao Hui came back, and we celebrated Johnny's birthday as well. It's been 6 months since I last saw them, and certainly as usual, some things don't change. Haha.
Holidays continue. I am looking forward to meeting up S6B =)
