It's been roughly 1.5 month since I got into Officer Cadet School (OCS). Experiences so far, when I think back of what I did, despite all the "grievances" that I have, hahaaa, I have to agree that it's fruitful, it's once a lifetime experience learning here in the OCS.
Life's been regimental, I feel. Asked my friends who are in Specialist Cadet School, I don't hear much about discipline and regimentation, which apparently, is so strong and pungent here in OCS.
I remember the first week when I got into OCS, to note first, I was really motivated in working on towards my aspiration to become an Officer. Some of the nights, just before I close my eyes to sleep.. on my bed, lying down, gazing at the rotating fan.. with the room filled with darkness and silience, and somehow, tears started flowing out, i wasn't crying, just tears flowing out and in my mind, I was questioning myself, "Why am I here?"
Those beginning days have long since passed. And with 7 months more before the grand commissioning parade, of all the days that I'm passed through here in Officer School, I thank God for His unfailing love, for hope, for vision, for being here with me. When I'm physically draining with the combat load and the terrible weather, when they echoed with deafening voice, "Prove to us that you are worthy to be in OCS! Someone out there thinks you are special, show it to us! Prove to us that you are worthy to be an Officer Cadet!" there and then, when my own strength is failing..
God is there. When all else fails, when my strength and my wits crumbles, when my friends and family can't be there, He is there.
