4 Days in SISPEC.... It has been quite an interesting experience. Needless to say, the first day was the worst. The feeling of dread, of misery, and sadness was always around. The buildings were shabby with many non-functioning toilet cubicles. When night came, the mosquitoes came too. You look at the spotlight and see insects flying around, lizards everywhere. Then you remember the numerous lizard droppings in your bunk. Not a very nice feeling. Moving on. The next few days were much better. Had plenty of lectures and very little excercise. I realised that in SISPEC, the sergeants treat you with more respect. Probably that's because you are going through a course, and they are there as guides rather than trainers. I began to get used to life in SISPEC. I guess menial things like lousy accommodation ain't really such a big deal. Many people were disappointed too, being posted to SISPEC. Its true when we say that most of the people who went to OCS really did not deserve it. I guess that's why we are here. We are the ones who will eventaully be the link between the men and officers. We are the ones who really know our men and fight alongside with them, while the officer sits in a room planning missions. We have pride in ourselves. Lousy accommodation? Doesnt' matter. Lousier pay? Doesn't matter. We lead with pride and we overcome adversity with our fighting sprit, while at the same time, fighting alongside our men. Men whose lives depend on us, and men who we, as section commanders, depend our lives on... Savant at 4/09/2004 04:01:00 pm ;
