Today was POC. This marks the end for our JTQT NCSO C2 (CL1) mcv 1/06 class. The last 2 days were spent doing our clearance and playing no holds barred 2 vs 2 games of soccer in class. As compared to BMT, where I was definitely happy to move on, its a different case here. On one hand, Im happy to leave IMOS as this brings me nearer to my next destination and closer to my ORD date. On the other hand, it sure is sad to leave behind all the happy memories that i have here, which is a lot.
I remember the first day we reported to IMOS in our ugly no.4. We were all curious what was in stored for us and how we ended up being in the navy. Although I had my doubts about IMOS then, I must say that looking back now I do not regret coming to the navy.
Pre-JRC days was a blast with all the bitching sessions led by mr. stress. The friends whom Im
gonna miss from this period particularly are kelvin, Wei Le, Lo Bitch, zhao qin , sk and ms. Kudos to Weile for taking the initiative to help us bond together. I still remember that Wei Le made us fold our blanket in a particular way which i still do to this day. This period was very slack as we had no EME and no rounds. It was like an adjustment period to navy where they test to see if you are able to slack well. The only bad thing about this period was the rst i had to attend every morning and evening.
Then came JRC days. JRC BRAVO 1/06. As compared to pre- jrc days were my bunk would always talk cock, there was less of that here, probably cause this was the psp period. I made many new friends during this period and what i learnt in particular was that we should not judge by appearance. This was also a good opportunity for me to mix around with people from other educational backgrounds and to understand them better. Im not going to name all the people Im
going to miss in this period as that would probably be the whole class, save for shitmon and nicholas santiago. However, the 2 I was saddest to leave behind during this period were my 2 bunk mates in pre- jrc, ms and sk. I sure hope the 3 of us can continue meeting up in future. All the best ms for the remaining of your ojt and for your 'A' levels. As for sk, thanks for teaching me the art of fart and hope u get your sharky posting.
Last but not least was the JTQT period. Im so glad i ws not detered by the 180 posting when i chose c2. We are probably the most lucky class, as none of us will be going down to ship save for 2 who will be doing 2 months ojt. This was also the most mentally taxing period at times when we had to cram for the tests, which were harder than what i expected from SAF tests. This was back to my pre-jrc days, as I was once again living with an all 'A' level bunch of people. There were some people who i did not think i would get along at first, but as time went on i understood them better and we part as friends. In particular im gonna miss sebast and ryan. At least sebast will be going 181 with me, but ryan is going to the best ship. I think i speak for the whole c2 when i say that ryan brightened up our lives with his humor and journal.
*im gonna miss late night bak-chor mee and cheap beer at the yacht club.
