this morning i got a day off from work because i am being called up by SAF to go to safra mount faber for the MR ceremony to collect my MR watch and 10 years NS medal.
the watch and medal was supposedly to be collected last year, on the final day of our 10th ICT, but due to some cock up by the army logistics branch, the watches were not ready. so SAF suggested to mail the watch and medal to our house, but my CO refuse that suggestion, because he believe that a ceremony is necessary, to thank the servicemen for the 10 years of contribution to the defence of singapore.
my CO, although he is also a NSman, but his love and loyalty to the country is second to none, and he always stress upon us the importance of national service, and the standards he demand from us are really very high. that's why he commands the respect from everyone, and we really work our buttocks off during in-camp training, so that he wun screw us if we screw up.
it is really my honour to work under this CO, and i am really so proud and happy to go up on stage to receive the medal and watch from him personally.
can see my rank and name being engraved on the medal? :)
behold, my name engraved wrongly. name engraved correctly on the medal, but wrongly on the watch. another cock up from SAF. #哭笑不得
no more NS. yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
