What’s up guys, hope everyone’s doing well.
It’s been 4 weeks since entering the SCS course and I recently just finished my 8 days of outfield training.
What is the SCS course you asked? It's a tough 5 month long course where cadets are trained to become section commanders.

During my outfield, it was tough and I found myself at my wits end many of times. Like, "Why am I doing this, I want to quit" kind of tough.

The biggest highlight was our wanderer exercise, where our section was tasked with open field navigation without the aid of any Trainers. We had to walk a rough total of 12km while carrying heavy loads on our back. In our walk, my section sang theme songs from old cartoon shows. (Like spongebob haha) It helped keep motivation high and it was loads funny to scream lame songs at the top of our lungs.
Reaching the end, fatigue level was crazy high but so were our morale.

Going through this (no matter how much I hated it), taught me a lot about pushing past my limits. I was surprised to find what my nerdy body build is able to withstand, carrying heavy loads and completing firemovements while under heavy fatigue. I also come to cherish all the simple things in life after living so long in the forest and away from civilizations haha. Warm tea is AMAZING, when you're freezing your ass off outfield.

It'll be a long time before I get another chance to speak with y'all again. Till then, take care, cherish what you've got, and I hope you're doing what makes you happy.

Cya!
