NOTE: DO NOT READ THIS POST UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE PREVIOUS ONE!!
Highlights from the POP Parade
But before i begin, i need to shout out something....
I GOT MY MARKSMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY, i'm a Marksman Recruit! And if i'm not wrong, i'm the Platoon best shot.
WOOT!
Out of 32 targets, i only missed 3, Ahahaha....YAY. Super happy.
And to add on to my jubilation, my Platoon Sergeant told me yesterday
that i as supposed to be the Platoon Best, but the only criterion that
prevented me from gettin it was because my fitness wasn't there.
But in terms of leadership, knowledge and skills, i'm one of the best
in the platoon. =) That really allayed all fears that i had in which
i thought i wouldn't be able to make it to OCS.
In addition, my PC also told me that my Leadership skills are
"Above average" that made me even happier hahaha..
Ok, back to the pics...
