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. But after watching some videos on YouTube about the making of an officer, I felt more motivated and purposeful. I will remind myself that I am here in OCS for a reason and not by chance. I will make it count.
I'm going to share my reasons why I wanted to go OCS. Of course, like many others, I questioned myself whether it would be worth it. Whether 9 months of hell is worth the rank. Thru BMT, I realise my mental resilience has to be worked on. One of the key reasons I probably want to go OCS is because my bro has been thru it, and he just ORD few weeks ago, and if he can do it, I felt I could do it too. I wanna do my family proud like how he did, and display my sword next to his.
Another key reason is I want to develop myself. This course will teach me to be a better leader, and throughout my education I have taken various roles of leadership. I actually feel that being a leader is my thing, and I want to do it well.
I want to be stronger, and hopefully OCS will help me through it.
There are also other reasons like higher pay, holding a higher authority, being mainly involved in planning (which I prefer), the exclusive social night, and value you bring to yourself.
At the end of the day, I just hope I will do my best, and do well, and improve myself continuously. All these are my sincere words. I want to say now that, I am ready - to lead, to excel, to overcome.
