A Scorpion in Leopard's skin

On retrospection, I began to slowly appreciate why things happen as they were. View the past trials as blessings in disguise; I had experienced many things which my fellow recruits will probably never do and made a few close friends.

When I was sick and had just recovered, I was made to do all the jobs which are rarely appreciated (meaning sai gang in hokkien) or even noticed. Together with my new friends, we filled jerry cans, packed fresh food rations for the sergeants, refilled the empty cans, washed their milo containers, cleared their trash etc. While mealtimes were tough, we spent the rest of the time resting in the comfort of air-conditioned office. In the process of sending water and food to people suffering at the outfields, I sat many tunnel(big trucks) and land-rover rides.

Was attached to Leopard company for my SIT test; it was an eye-opener for me. The Leopards never experienced a single punishment throughout their camp. To sum it up: they emphasise a lot on care for soldiers. Appreciated their very kind hospitality; it actually felt weird not doing pushups for days.

Finally completed one major part of a recruit's life. =)
