Intake by intake pass down through out the whole generation. New fresh birds enters into different rota while the old birds retire and move on to a new different life after National Service. Everyone went through the same. All the hard work, endurance and perseverance they went through, brings history to their names. Some became legendary while others became a symbol of unity. Story about them were told as their names continue on to be remembered.
I went through alot of shits when i enter Rota 1 in SCDF HQ. My seniors have a very high expectation on us when we were on duty. That's just how NS life is. Just endure a little while. For the past few months, many things i learn along the way. The do and don'ts applies all the time. As times comes, its time to move on to a new different level and become a symbol of Guardians to look after the new birds which just entered into the Rota.
In order to move on, Rota Test was set to see if we still have the knowledge on our everyday work and also abit of harsh training were conducted. After that, we were able to look ahead as Direct Seniors. After the test, all our knowledge and experience were pass down to the new birds. Our duty as the direct Seniors were to guide and teach them so that in future, they would do the same as what we did.
On the 9th February 2010, the 112th ( Direct Seniors ) set the rota test for the 113th new birds. The test examination was set by me. It was tough for them to pass but they made it by few points thanks to the life line given which i help out abit. When comes to the harsh training part, it was totally lame. Not even 10mins, all of them is like 1/2 dead. So i got no choice but to cut it off short. Really.. i feel that the future intake is getting soft and weaker.. i wonder if the standard of discipline will be strengthen in the coming years. I hope by then, ill be long gone..
