silver wings attained!

just got my wings on last fri.. i'm a paratrooper already! whaha finished the 3 jumps and got the normal wings.. left 2 combat jumps to get the commando red packing wings.. heh at least some sort of achievement made in army that i don't mind getting.. =)

on the other hand, army's getting real bored.. staying in from mon to sat is so sucky. i've really got little time to spend with gf, family friends etc.. no time of my own anymore.. sigh.. can i get out of army pls.. my pink freedom is currently residing @ cmpb (most likely) waiting for its release on 2007. argh.. that's f**king long from now..

what's going to happen these few months is i'm going to start my vocation training and around december i'll move to company line which is shifting to hendon camp permanantly for tougher trainings.. den go brunei.. by the time i return it'd be around cny period and that's when i get my red beret and hopefully life would be change for the better..

life is gone and uncertain for me now.. no say at all for my own life.. how can that be~ feel like downgrading but still wanna remain my pes status for my ambition.. to earn the pilot wings.. though chances of failing is high, i'm gonna give it a try!

06102005

hoho had the experience of my life last thursday..! it was my first live descent from a static line after 9 days of ground training @ the delivery school..~

on the day of jump while waiting for my turn to enplane i was like super nervous, having cold feet and even thought i couldnt muster the courage to jump off.. heh lucky i still manage to complete the jump..

onboard the airplane everyone's face's like 'can i don't jump' those kind.. lol.. the worst part of the flight is when the jumpmaster opens the door and shouts "Stand up!" for the individual parses.. whaha it dictates 90% that we had to go.. i'm the 8th or 9th jumper.. i can see my friends getting sucked out one by one.. by the time the jumpmaster tapped 'GO!' on my back i just lift my leg out and got vacuumed out into the sky like others.

once out in the air all i can hear is silence and everything seemed to freeze for a moment up there.. the canopy opens and sprang me further up into the sky.. the view is 'live' and nice~ but it lasted less than a minute before i hit the grass patch already.. dang.. the feeling of a live descent is really out of the world man..

though the jump's complete, i still cannot don the airborne wing cos need 2 more jumps in order to do so.. hopefully i can get the chance to blog on my subsequent jumps without any harm! whaha.
