Army Daze..........

haha.hilarious...And I thought maybe it'll be something along that line.....canoeing,rock climbing,flying fox,etc.I mean I didnt expect the camp to be smoooth sailing of course but hell yeah........culture shock..haha......yes I went for the OBS(outward bound Singapore) selection camp...I told myself OCS was it 4 me.As much as possible,Ill steer away from that chapter which I must admit was physically demanding....When I first step onto Pulau Ubin,it was Deja Vu.haha.........I mean I totally understand where they are coming from coz they want the best...Truthfully,I wasnt prepared but most importantly,I asked myself if this(being an OBS instructor) is what I want?or do I want to prove that im the best?etc.This is not a job.Its a lifestyle....A lifestyle which requires you to LOVE the sun,sand,sea.A lifestyle which requires you to stay on Pulau Ubin for most of the days in a year.etc.When I was in the tunnel(an exercise that requires you to stay in the tunnel for close to 1.5hrs),my thought was,is this what you really want?........guess not...half way through the camp,I left.I made my decision.I want to be there to kiss my kids on their forehead,spend time dozing off beside them even if its only for a few hours,ensure my wife gets a piece of me even if its to irritate me,etc...Thats how I want it to be......I would consider myself family oriented and that is a sacrifice I cannot make....hmm...But hey,guess what?at least I know its not for me.......haha.
