Aftermath

Page 445

We made it. 

After a long, depressing march, we finally reached the end of our destination.

Drenched in sweat, I had abrasions all over my thighs. 

My legs were weak. My shoulders were sore.

I panted with exhaustion.

This was one of the hardest challenges I've faced.

But we got through this shit together.

Nearing the end,
One of my commanders started singing.
A song we never heard before.
The mood was instantly elevated.
Everyone was singing loudly.
I was singing my heart out.
Putting my heart into every word
Song after song.
I felt the chills.
It was so fucking beautiful.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tough times don't last, tough men do.

It was finally the moment.

As we formed up in our contingent levels.

I decided to form up next to my buddy.

We were both super excited.

Everyone faced the exit. 

The light from outside shining bright.

And then it started.

We jogged into the light.

The pledge, national anthem, and cheer performed.

'ONE CHECK ONE.'

The caps flew.

And in that moment, I lived in it.

I turned to my Buddy, and we hugged tightly.
Tears and smiles everywhere.

POP LOH!!

It feels so surreal.

Its so hard to believe 4 months passed by just like that.

When I first enlisted, I went in with the emptiest heart. 

(due to what happened before enlistment)

I had no expectations, no motivation. 

All I wanted to do was just blend in.

And not get myself noticed, or into trouble.

I was void of any emotion.

I didnt know if I could ever be happy again.

I was a robot.

I couldnt feel anything.

And then I realised, as weeks passed by, how special my platoon/company was.

My section mates who are ever so helpful and crazy.

And especially, my buddy, who's been there for me since day one.

I don't know what I'd do without him.
I honestly wouldn't have survived without him by my side.

Ah the wonders of buddy love.

Hahaha.

The times we argued, annoyed, loved, hugged, tickled, ate, slept, showered, sang together.

One of the main reasons why I smile each day.
Thanks Buddy, I hope we get posted to the same vocation.
Lubchu. <3

I really appreciate everything BMT has given me.
Thank you for giving me such a memorable experience.

The aftermath of everything is starting to look beautiful.

'Family isn't important. Family is EVERYTHING.'

Current Song Mood: Muse - Aftermath

War is all around
I'm growing tired of fighting
I've been drained 
And I can't hide it
But I have strength for you
You're all that's real anymore
I am coming home now
I need your comfort

From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

States are crumbling
Walls are rising high again
It's no place for the faint-hearted
But my heart is strong
Because now I know where I belong
It's you and I against the world
We are free

From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone
We've gone against the tide
All we have is each other now
I'm coming home now
I need your comfort

From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

We're bound together
Now and forever
Loneliness has gone
