I will be getting the ‘Best In Fitness’ award during my POP come this 18th of January. To be honest about it, I am not exactly proud or happy about this revelation. I was the only one who was eligible to take my IPPT because my application to get upgraded to PES B was the only one successful within the squad.

When the results came to light, I was a staggering 7% ahead of the 2nd placed. I knew my IPPT constituted heavily to the final grade but for certain that there are 1-2 individuals if put together will provide a very tough fight with me for this award.

Though throughout my BMT, I have been regularly conditioning and even pushing myself over the limit while training, I feel I am undeserving of this award as I did not get the opportunity to compete with anyone in the physical aspect. Nonetheless, I am thankful for the vote of confidence from Sze Kiat, but I have my principles and this simply goes against it.

Regardless of my views, it will be a nervy moment but I just hope I don’t screw anything up. Apart from that, I shall also be promoted to the rank of Corporal as I have completed the 3 prerequisites; to pass my IPPT and shooting as well as attaining a grade of C6 or above for my English Language.

It will be a very proud moment for me to have my parents watch my POP, this is one of the rare occasions where I get to enjoy the company of both. I hope they do turn up, and not just 1 party.
