Conflicted

I am now the subject of every NSF's envy. ORD loh, getting my pink IC in two weeks. Happy that things like morning runs, IPPT, SOC, out field etc... is no longer part of my daily routine. I went out for lunch with my company mate Eric yesterday before our ORD D & D and he said, "can you believe it? We are out on a WEDNESDAY! Do you smell that? It is the air of FREEDOM!" What he said was true. The taste of the billy bomber's sirlion steak I was eating did taste especially good on a WEDNESDAY afternoon. I believe it is because the steak had the taste of FREEDOM.

As we spent our last days together as a company thinking back to all the tekan sessions, missions and fun we had, not to mention the stupid things we do when we are shag. I secretly wish in my heart that I could relive those days again (yes, I am crazy, I know). And I am not only talking about the good days, I am talking about the bad days as well. Because it is the experience that counts, the whole package.

To be honest I always complained to God about why He put me in the commandos. But let me put it this way, if experiences are the currency of life then with what I have experienced during my NS. I can safely say that I am clearly richer than most. I have truly been blessed.
