Final March Pass?

Almost 3 weeks of staggered Reservist had finally come to an end. after we march out of the SAFTI MI Parade square and out processed from Dieppe Barracks.

2 color tones on the forehead, shoulder aches, back aches, rough feet soles, blisters along the feet and on the toes are physical markings left from this reservist.

No more ping gang under the hot sun continuously in the near future (i hope)

No more sleeping on the stadium benches or stairways in the near future.

No more involvement in parades (i truly hope so)

U tink we NSmen can lose weight from reservist? I seriously dun tink so. almost 2-3 days every week, we were 'pampered' with KFC. and lotsa high carbo, oily and fatty food. Perhaps the young and still growing NSFs will love those foods, and that they are unlikely to suffer from any 'detrimantal effects' from all the trans fats and carbo. But for us for can grow upward no more, the only way for expansion is sideways. So as NSmen, i look forward to less unhealthy food in the future ICTs :p honestly, i tink i wun be touching KFC at least for half a year....

Check out us, the 48 'lucky souls' who were selected into the marching contingent to represent the GUARDS formation out of 70+ candidates........:s

our location on the parade square is marked on the red rectangle. i dunno wats wrong wif me at the time of phototaking, but i was being labelled as the 'SAF owes me $$$$$' or totally 'buay song' look...hahhaa



also check us out in our entire formation (marching contingent + reserves + logistics and support) taken with the Chief Guards Officer.




Though having involved in the parade twice in my life before (the 1st one was back in 2001), and lotsa complaints, but nonetheless, the company with the fellow comrades will be memorable and definitely brings back memories of our 'exciting 2 years' of service with the Guards Formation during our active NSF days.

Will look forward to meet up wif u guys aka fellow comrades again, the next time will probably be next month "ta-ing" till we puke again! hahaha.
