Looking back, I rather enjoy my army life. Though it is tough, but I get to experience many things and learnt quite alot. I had excorted detainees to most of the places available, including court-martial, sub-court, hospitals and so on. I even get the chance to escort detainee to supreme court's court of appeal. It had been an eye-opening experience for me. Both sides, the prosecutor and the defending lawyer, argued very well and it was very interesting to watch. After watching so many court cases, I could even estimate the sentences to be passed quite accurately. Haha!
I also made a significant change to my camp. After editing the half-completed access document by my senior, I managed to replace the booking in/ booking out system from books to computerise. It started off with a WITS (work improvement teams) project proposal that I submitted to my sir when he asked me to think of one. I saw a computer left in the guardroom unused and gave the proposal to use it for book in/ book out purpose. I was then suddenly given the task of completing it. It was a very tough project as I knew nothing at all about creating a program. Though there is already a almost completed program written in access in the computer, it didn't help when I didn't use access before. Things became worse when I discovered that there is no one who knows how to use access in my platoon. I landed myself in deep shit. Having no choice, I read up about access and spent countless of hours trying to figure out how does access works. In the end, I managed to figure how access works but I knew very little about programming language which takes months to learn. By trying out many times, I manged to get the programme to work. I even added in the function of taking photos for identification purposes. Now, booking in or out only requires to key in NRIC no instead of writing in the book. It saves time and paper. I am glad that I managed to learn something and make a significant change to my camp unlike many who wasted their time in army.
1 of the things I missed most would be my dogs. After taking care of them for so many months, I had develop a feeling towards them. I especially missed playing with my favourite dog- Yellow, a rather hyperactive dog. Another thing I missed is the playing of table soccer. Every night, when we got nothing to do, we would play table soccer. I played defending most of the time and became well-known in my camp for solid defend. I became so good in it that I won most of my games. I also miss the games my camp-mates and I played like basketball, monopoly or watching movies together during our free time.
Time fly and I have now ORDed. I will miss both the good and bad times I had gone through with my camp mates. I wish them all the best and hope that they will endure through this difficult time of manpower shortage.
