The Post which Caught Your Wave

Accomplished quite a few things over this week (and it's only Tuesday) to herald in my ORD mood.





First up, I applied leave for the last two weeks of October. I haven't been using a single day of leave due to my working schedule for the past five months. So if there are any events on those days, please update me, let me know and I'm surely gonna be there!

I still got a whole bunch of off-in-lieu's which I haven't cleared. There's like 13 of them. I don't think I'm able to use every of them, but it's a healthy number of supplementary off days huh. Haha.




And then, I'm settling the paperwork for the application for my civilian driving license!

I can't really describe the feeling when I printed out the pages of my monthly mileage for the past one year odd. For most people, their driving license is probably $2000 plus, and from a few months of training. For us, it's many months of sweat and labour and I really hope to get the license soon.





Today afternoon was my ORD FFI.

A year ago, this term would have seem like a distant, foreign dream to me. Being the youngest driver then, I felt that only the senior drivers, those who have seen it and done it all, would receive that ORD clearance forms with pride and confidence.

Fast forward to present day, yours truly have finally held the clearance on my own hands, written my own name and parade it in front of others.

How things change. Haha.




My last piece of good news was the announcement of ambulance course for my juniors, which is set to take place at the end of this month. So I will spend one more week in October duty, then it's goodbye to the medical centre and my beloved MID 45993.

As any NSF will tell you, when your understudy comes, it marks the end of your career. Not a bad thing in SAF.





ORD, I can see it in the horizon!
