In an inkling, i'm already one year past enlistment and now, its time to face the last 10 months of my tenure. Though the last 10 months of service feels like a long time, the past one year flew by more quickly than expected, and i guess the rest of you Jan guys feel the same. In the past one year, there were many transition phases that i went through and these certainly helped me mature as a person. I am more confident now to handle challenges with the experiences that i have gained as a trainee/commander. The regimentation in the army has also instilled an awareness of health within myself and now, more than often, i will motivate myself to run for extended periods. Running not only helps to take my mind of any matters in camp/home, the sweat and effort also keeps me very much alive as i enjoy the cool breeze along the way. If there was something that i could do for the rest of my life, this is it. Aside from fitness, the friendships that i've forged during coursetime/service were invaluable as these bonds help us remember that we're in this together and friends in need are friends in deed. Now i can look forward to ORD optimistically.
Cheers
The most valuable thing that you have earned in your service term is me as your buddy =)
