Enlistment

13th March 2006
(A recount Written in first person)

BMT or basic military training. For the next 8 weeks, thats where I am going to be. My parents were quite anxious about everything. We woke up early at 6. Didn't have much sleep though. Of course, I couldn't sleep. My life's gonna change overnight.

8am, we took the shuttle bus from Pasir Ris Mrt station to Singapore ferry terminal. Pulau Tekong is just a straigh across. There were many others like me. Young 18 years old, not knowing what to anticipate in the months ahead.
