Unit Life!

Yeah! It seems that life as a trainee is finally coming to an end. I have finally been posted to my unit and getting ready to be on active duty, serving as a 3SG (3rd Sergeant). Its been a long long journey from recruit life untill now, but at least I made it in one piece, and made it into a better soldier.

From BMT untill now, I have been a recruit, then private in SISPEC, then corporal in ETI and now a 3rd Sergeant. And well, I probably wouldn't be promoted in a long time anymore. And of course, thank God I am a specialist, my officer cadet friends are still suffering as a trainee at this moment when I assume commander privileges, muahaha.

Well, last tuesday marked the end of trainee life. I had my POP at ETI and my parents attended. Proud moment, much better than during POP at BMT. This time, I was a 3SG. Not a REC, or PTE. When I received my certificate, heh, I was thinking like, "its finally over, this crap life"

S1 in my unit says that unit life is very relaxing, ha, hope that it is true ya. For the 1st time in army, I actually walked to cookhouse instead of marching, went and take my own food from the commander's section rather than having food thrown on my plate by the cookhouse uncle and auntie. And of course, people calling me "sergeant". Muahaha.
