Stagmont camp trainee

2nd phrase in army just goes on after BMT, i am posted to stagmont camp as a trainee to learn to be a signaller. currently passed 4 weeks out of the 8 week course before posted out to other units to apply what i has learnt here.

First day reporting there i had a shock. Shocked that i am the only obese/PES Bp in my platoon, shocked that i am the only odd one out with only '0' lvl and the rest basically is all JCs, shocked that i am one of the oldest there as everyone else is only 19 yrs old. As per normal, i need time before i can open up to strangers, i was like emo-ing for the first 2 weeks as their preferred language is english, the topics they converse on is like "what course u apply in uni? ", " what JC are u from?"... -.-

I am sian 1/2, why i am the only one in my dragon platoon to come here.

As day goes by, i get to know them better, able to start topic, talk cock. Life there is just basically want u to study and study to understand the operations and technical terms that you have to know before you get posted to unit. Come army also have to study-.-

Things is going well, except that my PT isnt as good as them, catching up with them is quite a challenge as some of them are from enhanced batch. Studywise, perhaps they absorb the knowledge faster and i got some problems with finishing the courseware within the time limits of the self study classes.

Through talking cock, chatting, i get to know their life stories, their life in JCs. Somehow or whatever it is kinda interesting, knowing how ppl had lived their life. Wish me luck in the tests, field activities and exams coming my ways... cheers.
