Friday, November 28, 2008Initially when I first enlisted, I was bend on getting myself into OCS (officer cadet school) and become and officer but because of the decision I made I couldn't...On the 3rd day of my 7 days field camp, the same day which Mandy was scheduled for operation, I knew I have to talk to her somehow, to give her the courage and the will before she goes under the knife. I went to see my platoon's medic and said I'm having some bad ache which was genuined. He saw me, gave me two panadols and ask me to rest. I exploit the fact that if I were to see him again he will definately send me back to my company line. *2 hours later* "Eh Medic cannot ta han already damn pain sia.." "Hmm ya I can feel your back muscle damn stiff. I send you back to company line now you go see the MO when you reached" Immediately I agreed... Back at my company line, I went to borrow handphone from my OOT (out-of-training) camp mates. Luckily I was able to speak to her just before the op. And so I went to the camp's Doctor with half my mind still thinking about the 2 hours operation she will be having. "Recruit Chin... What problems you having...?" "Back Pain Sir..." "How long already?" "Since young I got this problem already... during pri sch i got scoliosis" "Okie I send you for X-ray then later u come back and see me..." *X-ray done* "Your X-ray nothing much..." "But Sir everynight I sleep there will be this knife piercing pain through my spine..." "How often is it?" "Everytime Sir." "Can you continue with training?" "I guess so ..." "Okie I give you on "light training" first if you think you cannot carry on, come back to me.." With that I went back to my company line and I knew it will be a couple of hours before I'm needed to go back to my camp site. So I sat by the phone waiting for Mandy's parents to call me informing me of her situation. A couple of hours later, the phone finally rang and to my relieved the operation was a success. The tumour was removed without any implications. Having heard that piece of good news, I breathed a huge sigh of relieve. Almost concurrently I was told to pack my stuff and get ready to go back to my camp site. I'm still quite worried about her though... I continued using my back pain as an excuse and finally my PC asked me to head back to the company line to see the MO for a MEDICAL REVIEW. *Back at the Medical centre* "Sir My back still pain..." "Do you still want to continue?" *I pondered for a while I know given the current situation I would not be able to concentrate on my training.. I decided ....* "No Sir..." "Do you then want to OOT?" "Okie then..." "Once you OOT means you no longer need to take part in any training until you post out you might have to come back for re-course..." I wasn't thinking anymore because if I OOT it would meant that I can have all the time in the world to call her. With that, my Officer dream came to an end and my NS career change forever.... *To be continued* Louis froze in time on 12:58 AM
