It's 0000hrs, and now i have 10 days to enlistment..
I am looking forward to getting enlisted...seriously, but then again, as with almost everyone who is stepping into a new and unknown territory, only to be surrounded by new people, where you have no control over what is going to happen to you, I do get that small sense of nervousness.
Delightful isn't it? Hahaha.
Only difference is, I am going in with a slight physical problem. Other guys would jump at the chance to use that to get downgraded..I am praying everyday that it won't bother me and I will be able to make it all the way through and get my beret...
Around 11 months of pure hell to get that beret..like they say...For Honor and Glory..
Got most of my army stuff already..wanna see the list?
