It’s finally the time for walk-out, after spending 9 days in HTA Camp. Many thanks to JiaHao and Angie for the send off..

And of course.. my parents too.

All those rumours about slacking life away in Police Force is more or less bullshit, i believe trainings are on equal standard compared to Army. Furthermore, ours is not progressive training, so in short.. Life’s tough with that much physical workouts.

After those arduous times there, at least i’m now feeling more built and muscular now, better toning of the body.

Police really distinguish themselves well with Army. Most of the things they do, though similar, sounds different.

Instead of “knock it down” , we have a more refined way of carrying pushups..

“to the left/right on your palms down”

Its more troublesome, because we have to move accordingly to the direction given.

One of the most dreaded action is to do PT in raincoat, especially in the company grounds. With limited grounds provided, its really restricting our actions and the raincoat’s weight makes PT more unbearable.

Qualification is something that differentiates people around, even in NS. It’s kind of insulting when they say if we do not conduct ourselves well, we will de demoted to XXX. Which this will make those people in the XXX Category feel like 2nd or even 3rd class citizens.

But this is the world here in Singapore, when paper counts. If not for this way, i believe many would feel unjust, studying so hard for the past 13 years in life and only to be working and treated like some other Tom, Dick and Harry that never even completed proper school education.

That’s where the difficult part come in, people that do not receive much education do not really think about their actions. Like the way they talk and carry themselves, which will lead to trouble not only for themselves but all the people around them too.

Well, they specifically mentioned that there is to a certain degree of secrecy in the PF, so its not very advisable to openly discuss about such stuffs here.

Its many more months to go, and i better clear my IPPT next week. I want my Saturdays!

Training to be a NSmen, not NSboy.  Endure.. Persevere!

In a few moments time, i will be disembarking on the next phase and journey of my life. A point where by past experiences say that it is a period  where boys turn into men.

National Service!!

Do drop by here often and check out for updates. Especially on book out days, bet many are curious about the life of PoliceNSmen in Home Team academy (HTA) since, majority of the people out there do not get the chance to undergo this process.

Glad that both my parents are able to go for the send off invitation. Though it is only a small gesture on their part, but it sure does make the whole process more significance and memorable.

So till then….

Those who are working.. happy working

Those who are slacking… get a life!

Farewell!
