SWAT

So what is SOC? What is Special Operations Command? And why have I added them in the list of abbreviations?

Well, it's something I want to aim for. The training is tough and the fitness level required is high. This gives me something high to aim for. If God is willing, and if I am able to perform, I will be so happy if I get in. They'll probably torture us like animals, but hey, after 2 years, and when I look back at this experience, I think it would be so cool!

Anyway, the best description that describes the SOC posting is in wikipedia. Feel free to have a look to get an idea of what I am aiming for.

In the SOC posting, I am hoping, just hoping, that there might be a chance that I can be posted into the STAR unit. Basically, the STAR unit is equivalent to a SWAT team. I reckon getting into something like that would be so interesting! Plus, imagine how amazing fit and muscular I'll be if I do ;) hehe

So far, the only 'support' I have in having the slightest chance of getting in is from wikipedia. They said that "TRACOM trainees", ie. me, can get enlisted into this posting. Whereas everyone else whom I have talked to has said otherwise. So I don't who I should believe. Oh, by everyone else, I mean people like relatives, fellow trainees, etc. Not Senior Officers who I should actually be asking.

Well, if it is God's will for me to get it, I will get it without a doubt. But if I don't, I am more than happy to do something else less strenuous, and hopefully, less stressful. However, it would be interesting if I could get into the SOC group. Let's just see how far I am allowed to go with my NS trainee status.

I'll be back on Friday night and hopefully we won't be confined this week for anything stupid.
