My company.. M for Mohawk..
Before the parade, i woke up at 3.30am to get ready.. had my breakfast and had to bring everything down by 4am.. as i wun be going back to my bunk anymore.. ate my breakfast and draw arms.. then proceed to the parade square to do warm up for my 24km graduation route march.. it was tough, a test for our physical n mental strength.. but we were very happy and positive as we know we can leave the place after everything that day.. all our hardwork were paid off.. we started the march at 6am with the light cold breeze to accompany us.. we travelled through road, to rocky hill, to ammo dump, to field camp site, up the slope, cross a pool of muddy water.. we survive through.. finally at around 1.30pm, we completed the march.. we sat down at that area and rest while consuming our lunch.. then we had to kiwi our boots to make it clean.. took some time to do that as our boots is really very dirty.. then we clean up ourselves change to our smartest 4 and get ready by 3pm.. then at ard 3.30pm, we march off to our gathering point where we will march into the parade from there.. Marching in..
Doing cool down..
then at 4pm, the actual parade starts, we began our final activities.. the march in.. we were so happy that we survive through n complete BMT.. we began singing loudly as we march in.. then we did cool down which is actually for show to the family. the parade commander ( OC of Ninja company) requesting permission from guest- of- honour Lieutanant Colonel Tang..
