Well well well, what do you know? It's February and I've got less than 4 months to ORD, pretty fast eh? Last week I received my number 1 uniform from headquarters and it totally fits me perfectly, I was glad that I didn't need to try on for more than 2 times as I was drenched in sweat and I didn't want to contaminate the other clean uniforms with my sweat.
Got a few pieces of good news during this 2 weeks. Firstly I got marksman in my combat shoot and I almost got full marks for the combined effort stage, 29 / 30 to be exact :) Secondly, I am going to be promoted first class CPL by the end of this month, section commander told me the good news while I was half asleep in the resting area. So it's more money and self pride when I head on for the milestone parade in May, and not to forget a chance for another promotion during my reservist. The last piece of good news is my IPPT, even though I am only 1 point away from the coveted gold award, I came in 3rd place out of the 55 2.4 km runners during the test with my timing of less than 10 minutes and 20 seconds. This timing is the fastest I've ever got in my entire life, never ran that fast before and I felt I could run even faster. The best part is that I am about to reach my goal of running a 10 flat for my 2.4 km run, I am going to train even harder from now onwards to hit my goal and to show people that hard work is what gives you good results.
Saturday mount tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it as there is going to be a session of intensive workouts and a good steamboat dinner! Alright, time for bed and adios!
