Peace be upon you.

From last friday(20/11) till wednesday(25/11), I was appointed to be the IC for the platoon. Though it was a bit too late to show my leadership potential, I was determined to do my best and be a good leader to my platoon. I know it is going to be tough to lead a group of people of the same age PLUS same rank. Heh! I did encounter a few difficulties along the way but with the help of Kenneth, Ahmad and some of my platoonmates, I got back on track. Thanks guys! :)

On Tuesday, we had our 16km route march. As an IC, I feared; very much. I could remember how shag it was during the previous route marches. Though I manage to complete every distance so far, if I remember clearly, I had that 'I am shag' look everytime I reach every rest point. Heh!

But thanks to positive thinking and the motivation to lead well, I manage to lead my platoon for the route march and I didn't really feel tired. Every rest point, I urge my platoon to smile and stand tall LIKE A MAN! :D

That week was indeed a challenging week for me and I know in myself that I did well. *Pat on my own back!* Gee. Now, I'm entering the last 2 weeks of my BMT life. Yes, I want this to end yet I'll definitely miss this whole thing; crappy commanders and funny section mates.

Oh, I really want to get into SISPEC. Please pray for me!

Love,
Hilmi
