What fills the room.
Around 7pm tonight, my parents took away the white stripes and endowed the rank holder with that three black chevrons.
It was an exhilarating moment.
It marks the end of this 22 week course and how I'm trained to think like a commander.
This perhaps seems to be a milestone for my national service.
The march gave me a lot of time to think, especially standing at attention for a bloody long time.
Other than my numbed feet and aching palms then, thoughts were flowing into my mind.
This black chevrons bears its appointment, bears new responsibilities and new challenges. and it took me a while to adjust my feelings. This means that there will not be a day where your appointment will change and you need to make the decisions.
With my new posting, which I'm extremely thankful for, I need to perform and excel in my duties. At the very least contribute to the army and make the rest of my NS life worthwhile. I really hope I will pass on thinking and not just knowledge and inspire to aspire.
So, on Monday, a new path start and let's
Rock 'n' roll.
