4 months and counting..

4 months to the big day I'll get my beloved pink IC. Its a big milestone yet my life has only begun. Just that I must add that I will miss the army for all the wonderful experiences that it has brought to me. It has been a journey I have never regretted. The next few months; ROC and NDP. bring it on!

I believe.

Having a great time in camp now, though MSK's a bitch. I'm finally getting closer to the guys, realising it can be easier than it looks. They are a great bunch to be with, especially since there are so many of them that are great leaders themselves. It's been enlightening to see them doing their duties diligently without much complaints, only with the promise of a little reward though. They have been a group of men I have learnt much of the real world about; that leading this group of them requires much more than logic but heart as well.

Over the past few months, my perspectives on leadership change ever so significantly because it can be ever so dynamic; never the same the next day. Position counts on certain occasions, but it is how being a friend to the person that leadership can really be made easier. I have definitely see myself change in the way I have become ultra-patient, ultra-tolerant and understanding.

Things are more or less falling into place now. I look forward to the rest of the months with the platoon full of enthusiasm and passion. This has been the work I have been looking for though in a context that may not be all that forgiving. Conciously living each day has been the greatest asset I ever got over the past 6 years for it got me to where I am today. Not many can have as many achievements as myself. I believe I should be proud of each and every one of those achievements. I believe that I will get those to my goals with trust, faith and belief. I will.

I'm thankful for everything that I have right now. I believe I can achieve more.. I believe.
