Tomorrow is the day I report into OCS, after 2 weeks of block leave. TBH, I was initially feeling very unready, as I was sick and feeling unwell cos of my stomach ache and diarrhea, and my chest infection is not helping. I am already totally adjusted to civilian life, and now I'm about to adjust again into an OCT for 2 weeks.
