back from ncc training. although not exactly training, we had our meeting with the CLTs about ncc camp and ORD and stuff.
seems like just yesterday, when we were still
passionate sec3 cadets, waiting to take over the unit. now i somehow feels that the passion within us is
dying out. fast. even simple things like deciding camp dates and stuff we had so much disagreements. where has all the part spirit and the common goals gone? when we just got to know our posts last year, when i just got to know my post, i was very disappointed and i am not embarrassed to say that i had shed my tears. but after listening to the NCOs, i regained back my passion and i still remember the phrase"
dreams broken but the passion remains" . i set my own goal and promised to strive hard towards that goal. however,reality is always cruel.
i did not even got my chance. my posts were all, bluntly put, useless. i had to count on myself to push forward and move on. i was like a free wonderer. though i perservered until now, when i look back, i ask myself, did i leave behind any
legacy?
i can still vividly remember, during sec1, when i just joined ncc. looking up to all the seniors in their uniform. i wonder, could i ever become like them. and now i am already standing in their shoes, however somethings are just different from before. batch by batch came and left and now its nearly our time too. time for us to leave and pass on the baton.
i do not wish to leave behind any regrets. so please. my platoon mates, my part D NCOs, my friends, my brothers, let us burn together, burn out the last few challenges before us in the brightest flames ever.
reignite our passion. the
internal flame
for honor and glory. hcincc
