In another 18 plus hours, I'll be standing in the SAFTI parade square, and my parents will affix my new rank. This day has been 4 years in the coming and the endless rehearsals in the past 2 weeks has been to gear us towards the actual parade. Thankfully, I don't have that obvious a tan line, compared to all the commados who's foreheads have all been split into half because of their berets.
In fact, we've already had a preview of how the parade will be like from the two actual timing rehearsals, yesterday's was spectacular, the wow factor was there after some of our arm drill movements. There was jus something missing from today's rehearsal, though it is still of higher standard than what we could have produced last week. It shows that all the hard work we put in has paid off. The endless homat senjatas, marching past, especially poignant is that morning when Jianming made us all fall in early for additional drill practise after our contingent was singled out by SSM. At least after that he didn't comment on our arm swing again.
Got a book out today and am due back in camp tomorrow at 9am, in fact most of the platoon is staying in tonight as it's the last night in camp, am regretting a little booking out, but Naruto beckons. Luckily for me, it's already been subbed by DB. Doubt they'll sleep much tonight in camp, after all, they are only expected back at 2359. A lot of them just booked out for dinner, and the rest of the night will be spent talking cock. Have made some good friends here in OCS, and I'll certainly miss them after we're posted to different units, but a couple of them just elude me. Anyway, it's too late to regret and the time for action has passed. Hopefully I'll be able to click with the people I meet in 2 SIR. Edmund, Ashik, Boontat, De'en and Andy shall be joining me there and it should be interesting with them around.
