Time passes fast..Has been almost 2 month since i blogged and i can smell my POP coming..My reflection of my stay in BMT as a Ninja recruit..
should start with what i had learnt during this period of time..i believe that everything that i did in BMT serves a purpose..its just how you see it and how willing are you to accept the purpose..for me, i hated route marches the most..initially, i thought why do we have to march when we have toners to send us from point to point..but as i continue thinking, life is just like a route march..
once you start there's no point in turning back or falling out..it's more of a process..in the process, you can see and assess people's character..When they are tired, all the shit starts to come out..
There are a lot more things that shows people..Most importantly, the things we do differentiates the shit from the rest..
The worst periods during my stay in BMT..Firstly confinement period.17 days is seriously too long..both mentally and physically exhausting..it's really something very very new to me..like cutting of from civilisation..i thought it was the worst thing that ever happened to me until 10 of feb comes..field camp really sucks big time..have camou cream on your face for 6 days..totally cut of from people close to you..the 6 days in the jungle, i felt like shit..as in dont feeling like doing anything much..i am willing to exchange it for another 17 days of confinement in camp..the worst of all is my injury period..which is now..overstrained my calf muscles..cant participate in most of the activities..i had to sturggle through all the major events..IPPT, Sandard Obstacle Course and the 16 km route march.. although i know that i've done my best under the current conditions, but deep down, i know that's not my best..the feeling of not able to archieve your personnal best is really bad..
After next week,after the 24km route march BMT will be over and more shitty things will come..it's just like going on another route march..
