Yesterday, 6th July, marks the end of my basic training. I'm definitely not a regimental type of person, but the feeling upon receiving my rank, it feels really good. Not to look down on those who did not get their rank, but seeing myself with it, there's a really strong sense of achievement. Besides having the promotion means more allowance hur. I feel proud marching as a corporal; I am now SC/CPL Mervyn Goh, ha!
Went back to camp this morning for my posting, was really anxious to find out where am I going to get posted to. I mentioned in the earlier post, its either NPCO or Dog unit. After hours and hours of waiting and doing nothing but rubbish with the squad, the news came in... Everyone got damn excited and they were all shouting, wanting to know where they're posted to. Haha the feeling is unexplainable, you got to be there to feel it. At last I found out I'm posted to NPCO at Alpha division(cantonment), which is the central area. I was happy with the results because I'll still be with my mates and driving license is definitely an incentive haha. I wasn't feeling so much for dog unit towards the end cos I'd be alone and the K9 camp is too far.
Three months of in-camp training before I become a full-fledged neighbourhood police officer, so next monday, going back to choa chu kang and carry on with phase 2 of my training. I heard I'll be passing out on the 17th Oct, so by then, you clubbers and whatever evil do-ers better beware! Your friendly neighbourhood corporal is going to be patrolling on the streets of clarke quay, city hall, bla bla central area and even chinatown etc, HAHA! Right.
