My Unhappy Life @ Commando BMT...

I know, serving the army for 2 years (1yr 10mths for me) is really a complete waste of time. I'm pretty sure that was what went through every lost bloke's mind in Singapore.




I remembered being posted to the commando BMT on 8th July 2005.. To tell you the truth, i wasn't REALLY sad and worried about it. I was more curious to know what it would be like to be living, eating, bathing with 30 botaks... I wondered if there were gonna be conflicts and fights and politics. In my mind, i was thinking. "Wah kao! Need to be in the Army already very sian..

STILL LET ME GO COMMANDO BMT! AI WA SI AR!"


During the stay at commando BMT, i got my infamous nickname no thanks to this Sgt. Richie. Damn did he make me "popular"! He said after i shaved my head, i look like.............................

Look like meh? Whahaha!!!!

Being in the commando BMT is NOT a bed of roses, more like a bed of thorns. Their training was extremely tough, dog-tiring and heavily-packed. People were so on the ball and "garang" and had better physique. I don't feel like one of them at all.

"At times, i felt like i'm standing there alone, if ya know what i mean."

And I understand that if you have a buddy to share the tough times with you it would feel better. Yes, i did have a buddy.

BUT I HATED HIM!!!

You can really get to know a person so well just by being his buddy in the army. He was quiet, ignorant, selfish and likes to put people down too. He was NEVER caring nor supportive, especially during harsh times when help was greatly appreciated. He was just not there. "You're never there...." I still remember one time he couldn't find his SAR21 rifle, and he got me punished too cos i'm his "buddy"!

WAH SAY NEVER THERE FOR ME STILL SABO ME!Basket.

Thinking that i'm only talking my side of the story? You could ask the rest of the commando mates on how was he like and the way he treated his "buddy".

"Nicholas, you have made my stay in the commando BMT an unpleasant one.
But still, i wish you the best.... NAH, i'm just saying that!"

Having said that, i do have a few good friends there, those who's worth keeping as friends, people like Jeremiah, Kian Boon, Gary, WenQiang(just to name THESE few!). Wish you guys all the best!! (I mean it.)
