Still alive here!

Heya! Am feeling alright during my RCP term in ocs. Has been quite free on weekends and such, kinda enjoying the free time and sleep time I get.

Thank God for a loving platoon, my platoon mates are helping me to get some food from outside to make sure I stay alive. All telling me to let them know when I needa buy anything. Sweet huh? The other 2 guys from other platoons serving RCP with me said that their platoon didn't ask them what they wanna eat at all.

And thanks to Timothy, I'm almost 24hours on www.ksbj.org listening to their christian radiostation. It really brings me through the torutring confinement feeling as God's words keep flowing in during this free time. And guess what, I even got the time to discuss with the guys on duty about christianity. God let things happen to us for a wonderful reason.

Apart from missing my family, friends and church, I'm still doing good in ocs. Tomorrow is patrol field camp, I heard it's no sleep for 3days2night with back-to-back missions. It'll be stressful,tiring but most encouraging if we accomplish the missions.

My next book out will be 1st December, leaving me with only 13days to find a date and prepare for social night. This seems much more stressful then field camps...

A Stupid Mistake

Have you ever made a mistake so stupid that you will usually tell yourself that you'll never make? I've made it, and turned out to be severe.

During the 4days field camp in the past one week, I commited Negligence Discharge a.k.a misfire. I didn't check clear my rifle and fired off a blank round. Stupid mistake. Now I gotta serve a 14days RCP, and that causes me to be confined for 2weekends too.

Demoralised. But my PC tell me to just take it like a man and move on. I should and I will. But I couldn't stop blaming myself to get into this by committing such a stupid mistake.

6 weeks into OCS, 6 more to go before ending service term. And after I'm able to book out after serving my RCP, I'm left with only about 3-4weeks to look for a date for social night. My caring friends have been giving me suggestions, and even social escort was mentioned-_-". Thanks everyone, but I will find a date for that night. Just pray for me to find a most suitable one to enjoy the night with. Well, providing I can survive through the next 6weeks of training.

I don't know if I could go on. Pray that the grace of God is with me at all times.
