Watching the red lions do their jumps,i wish i could turn back time and do my jumps again. If only NCC allowed us to go for the course again,i would clock many more jumps just to enjoy the scenery over PLAB and SBAB. I miss those times crapping with my bunkmates and waiting for the jump dates to arrive. I miss waking up early,eating breakfast and going to the toilet immediately after that. I miss the torturous training sessions we had to endure. I miss the sweat soaked long 4's i wore.I miss the blue black injuries to my knees. I miss the painful pinches to my neck. I miss the heavy parachute on my back. I miss the tower jump. I miss the Chinook. I miss the C-130. How i wish i could do that for a career.

Reality check. Not gonna happen. Its ok. Im thankful God gave me the chance of a lifetime. I may not be a full fledged paratrooper, but to be able to live and love it for 3 weeks, it was an honour.

Exams are just round the corner. Life works in mysterious ways. I thought the 3 years in Poly would be long,but im in my final year,with just 2 more exams to go and an attachment to complete. Just when im making a real bond with my friends we have to part ways soon. Its all good though. I'm trying to enjoy whatever time i have left with them.

I'd love to join STAR. And DART too, hell, even SPEAR. May God guide me during this important decision in my life. The most important thing is that everything will come out fine.

And most of all, i miss YOU most 'wink wink'.

Happy National Day. God Bless and God Speed.
