well, its been sometime since i posted something here.
here's a update.
i m serving BMT in tekong now.
currently week 4.
i m still quite confused.
and had a conversation with my cousin earlier.
this was what he said.

make friends, you see your friend suffer with you, why will you give up?
end of the day you will only do things for the guy RIGHT beside you.
not for your country
not for your family
its the guy beside you that will push you on
you got watch war movie before? its the same thing.
when you go through shit together, you ll become damn close
if you leave your friend to suffer alone
you will grow distant
its just that simple
the more you suffer together, the more you complain together, the more close you become.
so how you perform, largely depends on whos there for you.
who is pushing you and motivating you
and who you want to push n motivate
if you're motivated, you ll find people motivated around you too.
wayang and read drive is very obvious.
if you're wayang, you ll see that nobody can be bothered with you
so just do wat you can
and you ll find friends
END OF THE DAY, BE YOURSELF.
if its meant to be its meant to be.
if its not, then who cares?
its just army.
end of the day its just 2 years of your life.
it can be the worse time of your life, the best time of your life, or even both.
EVERYBODY HAS DONE IT, WHY CANT YOU?

this kinda thing is up to individual.
if you ask me i think bmt was damn fun.
you go command school will only be worse
bmt only kena whack. you anything you still protected.
command school, kena whack, you do anything wrong, you kena whack like mad.
you still have to have appointments, have responsibilities.
you IC before?
command school be IC not so simple. you take training. you plan exercise.
you think like BMT?
anything happen whos fault? your fault. you take care of other people.
if you don dare to take such responsibility, i don think you are ready for command school
but of course, these kinda things depend on your perspective.

as for punishments. everyone sure kanna one.
you can take joy in kena guard duty. spend more in camp = make more friends.
its all up to you.
and of course, every vocation got responsibility
but your rank higher = you tio more shit
men is the most relax one
people ask you do, you do. then after that you slack.
if you commander, you ask them do, you do with them, then after that they resting, you do MORE things. you do paperwork, you planning.

there are fucked up people everywhere, doesnt mean you have to be one of them.
if u wanna be a fucked up commander, of couse you will be more slack
you ask your men do go, then you go slack.
can it be done? yes. end of the day, you ll suffer.

people have eyes, if they know you re slacking, you think they ll work for you?
when you dont have the interests of those you are looking after. you will not earn their respect.
end othe day they will not work for you.
and you will be in deep shit.

LOSING RESPECT, EASY AS PIE.
EARNING RESPECT, EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

personally, i find it motivating for me. i needed some clarifications.
but of course this is one point of view. and i think is more than enough.
