back to work!

Today, for the first time in 4 years, I put on my no.3 uniform again. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I can’t help but feel… weird. The pale blue uniform.. the 3 white bars on the epaulettes.. the silver buckled belt embossed with the RSAF logo.. the dark blue pants.. Everything seemed the same, yet I know everything’s different from 4 years ago.

What responsibilities await me? What behavior is expected of me? What do I need to do? What do I need to know? Dozens of questions bombarded my mind as I tried to put some last-minute shine on my black leather shoes. Throughout my journey to my designated posting at Chompang, I can’t but notice curious glances in my direction every now and then lol, even the 7-11 aunty seemed extra courteous hahaha. Then again, perhaps I’m just thinking too much =p.

Was pleasantly surprised to find the base to be very much smaller than a conventional airbase, probably due to the absence of runways and hangars (which means no need to buy car! Niakahaha) Also, its just located in the midst of a residential area instead of some ulu place. The people there seemed nice and friendly enough also lol. Was really glad to be posted here.

Many thanks to Jefferson again for showing me around the place and explaining the rank/pay structure to me. Really thanks a lot =D

Look forward to report to work on Monday!
