serving the nation for the 9th time

tomorrow will mark my 9th year serving the nation since my ORD on 29 Jan 1997... how time flies...

i look forward to this once in a year (or maybe twice or thrice) gathering with our buddies... minus the IPPT, every other thing is great...

1) you get the feeling of brotherhood (once in a year fren is like long-lost fren);
2) your mind is 'switch off'. you are no longer the 'boss' of your company;
3) you learn and polish on BIG2 skills;
4) you sweat more than usual and swear more than usual;
5) you sleep much earlier than usual but get up much earlier too;
6) you change the army uniform only when you booked out;
7) you can take naps in afternoon;
8) you can sleep anywhere and sh*t anywhere in green;
9) you get meal (upgraded to set meal) free, comes with 3 dishes, soup, fruits (and maybe ice-cream) and;
10) you see all walks of life here... the same old keng king, sabo king, xiao-on king, etc.

soon this will be over (another year) and i hope we strengthen this brotherhood forever.
