Hiatus
Today might very well be the last time you will hear from me for a very long time. Saturday marks a turning point in my army life thus far, for I will be leaving for Brunei, where there is nothing to do but train in the jungle for three weeks. That's three weeks of inadequate baths, wet boots, sore feet, wet weather, lousy food and all the trees you can get your hands on. It probably won't be as bad as I have made it out to be, but I am not too fond of experiencing a jungle firsthand.I know I have been quiet for the past nine weeks, but that is because I was under what was possibly the toughest phase of my training. I chose to keep my silence until after the training, because only then can I truly say that I have gone through nine weeks of hell. Nine weeks of the most exhausting trainings and exercises that I have ever gone through, nine weeks of mind games that push the limits of mental strength, nine weeks as a commando trainee. Now I can say that I know what pain is, because I've experienced it in all its forms, be it physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain. I have felt it on so many levels and degrees. But I will elaborate more on this when I return, because time is not a luxury I can afford right now.
Until the seventh of October, I bid you farewell.
