I wonder, when the time comes, will i be able to put my next foot forward. and again, and again, deprived of food and sleep for days. with insane blisters under my feet, at least 50 kg on my back. and go on, perservering. That's just PART of the SELECTION course for the new zealand Special Air Service. title of the documentary i watched? SAS DOWN AND UNDER: WEEDING OUT THE DREAMERS(episode 1) that title imposes questions about me, i always wanted to be a special forces soldier, but do i have what it takes? only 5 out of the 50 over men got badged in the end. less than 10%. Yea, singapore's commandos selection will probably be much less, but hey, if it's about being the best, can i be of that kind of standard in the future?cause those guys probably own our regular commando units. well lets face it, it's singapore, how many stay in the army after thier ORD? and when they're out, you start to see spare tires and all after awhile. sheesh. there's only that far you can go with rusty knowledge of combat tactics and a weak body. you know what? i'm gonna start training more after this thursday, gonna start training especially on mental strength. perserverance. I've always found the perserverance of war heroes amazing, captivating, motivating. the poor guys who get captured, interrogated and nothing leaks. Not even till death for some. Amazing dun't you think so? i mean, how many of us would be able to keep our mouths num when a glowing hot iron pole is being pressed on to your skin? darn. i'm nowhere near the standard of a special forces soldier now, but they say if you look at your dream as a goal and work like heck towards it your dream will become reality. well just see.
