Appreciation of freedom
I'm finally out again!
well, finally getting some hits on my new www.Proven-Wealth.net webby, thx for the support clicks! haha
Well, I really have to say about something. I never really appreciated how much freedom I had before enlistment until recently. It does not really help when you are ambitious, have so many things you want to do, like spend time with friends and family, work on your future, and sometimes be just plain lazy.
I guess the point is doing whatever you want, whenever you want is something that is very important to me.
Lol, I remember my old platoon commander(pc) from my AISL (armoured infantry section leader) course talking to me one day. It was about an incident whitch I kinda 'disrespected command'. He basically said on the lines of ,"Aaron, I used to be like you. I always thought i was right, which I usually was anyway (hahaha...). I always questioned orders and made a fuss. As a result of that I always got into trouble. You and I are the type that is not suitable to work for someone. But hey, you are an NSF, so just take it for another year and then do whatever the hell you want to do after you leave."
Well, this coming from the most 'zai' pc of the entire course, I had to listen. I mean, this guy is like nearly 60 years old, has serious knee problems, but he can out run a 20 year old officer and replace tracks on an M113 infantry fighting vehicle on his own. He went immediately to Taiwan for an exercise immediately after returning from our India one. Real old school.
I only have one problem with him. He is very risk-adverse. I guess that happens after 30 years of risk-taking in the mitary. Kinda cost him many promotions and other perks coz he was a little hard to handle by his superiors.
Thank god I will only be in for another year.
After this, I shall unleash myself onto the world like a phoenix awoken from a thousand year slumber.
That is assuming I don't end up feeling lazy at that time. =p
I'm gone...
