POP LO!

After nine whole weeks of tough training, both mental and physical, 46 of us from BMTC School 1 Gryphon Platoon 4 had our passing out parade. These 9 weeks made us brothers. Brothers in Arms. We shared an experience unique to us. Be it the tough times or the happy times, we understood each other. It was not the individual but the man beside the individual that spured him on. I'm just glad its all over.

Without further ado, I shall reveal the happy moments.

First up...

Best Buddies and our beloved commanders. From left to right - 3SG John, 3SG Jas, 2SG HongWei(ORD Lo), 3SG Nazri, 2LT Kevin, PTE Eugene (Coy Best REC & Coy Best PT), PTE Sean Yap, PTE Timothy Gay(Platoon Best REC), PTE Me

My platoon with some guys missing.

During the parade. I took out my load bearing vest accidentally. I thought I was the only one who did that but Sean Yap had a photo showing that about 8 of us did so.

Finally, the ones who have been behind me all the way. I wouldn't know how I would have gone through the 9 weeks without them :)

Drumroll... Lastly I thank God, who we may not be able to see, for his everlasting protection and love upon us. There were many times where I could have so easily gotten injured but he lifted me up.
