Ace sets the pace!

Got into my new unit a few days back, the 2nd Singapore Infantry Brigade, Signal Company. The Brigade with a Ace of Spaces as a logo. Interesting. However, that isn't our final destination, which is the ever elusive 16 C4i Battalion, which is forming up in JUNE! Till then, we listen to conflicting orders, advice that might not apply to us in the new unit, promises of doom as we switch over and a lack of blankets to cover us at night.

And we're participating in the YOG! Although we don't know whether we'll be deployed as ground staff (sir, the toilet is that way) or as mass dance teachers(!!!) Yes, the newest skill a signaler should be able to master, mass dance techniques! And apparently, a fuse blew somewhere in someone's mind. If it happens though, we are gearing up to fight to the death for the JC and poly slots.

We are slated to shift thrice in 1.5 years which means our house building plans (ie settling in and growing roots into our bunk) is delayed for a long while. Bureaucracy. Sucks. But after so many changes, we are quite used to the chaos. I think we'll grow to the place, after all it is quite a comfy hole we have here.

Many changes, the end is not yet in sight. I am thinking of gearing up for my Combat Skills Badge, an award normally awarded to SGTs and officers but available for us too. My left chest is feeling rather drafty...
