Busy
Oh man how time flies, and after this weekend is over I will be super busy to meet all my deadlines for my projects. In fact I have 6 deadlines to meet. Furthermore, I am not even spared from this weekend. We have been given our soci mid-term exam take home question yesterday and I have already put aside my entire weekend for this assignment.
So far my progress has been like super slow, really need to buck up. Having coming this far, there is no turning back now.
Have you all ever had memories of the past suddenly appearing in your mind, with the scenes constantly flashing through your head? I experienced this yesterday in the bus, on my way back home. I suddenly thought of my OCS days and come to think of it, those days were hell but I kind of miss it. Images of my taiwan trip, my brunei and JCC experience, my instructors and my commissioning parade all came gushing into my mind.
To date, OCS and especially the JCC experience is still the one big milestone of my life. I have grown much stronger from it, and come to think of it, it was a hell of an achievement. It was the one thing which gave me, and my parents Im sure, great pride. Which brings me to a point.
Haha not sure how many anti-officers I will offend, but often I hear people commenting about how some officers can be real lousy and horrible. And yes I must admit, the OCS admission system is not foolproof, and some who do not deserve to be there are in there. Similarly, the OCS assessment system may not be foolproof too and some who do not deserve to be commissioned have been given the prestige and honour. However there is one thing you cannot deny, and that is they have gone thru 9-10 months of hell, and I think that alone warrants him to just that little bit of respect from you. But I guess its hard to really understand, unless you have experienced it yourself. It puzzles me how some people can just casually pass remarks like 'Officer so what?'. Of course by saying this, I still stand by my principle of rank being just title and responsibility, and not a medium for abuse and inequality.
To Lead, To Excel, To Overcome.
