I spent two weeks in boot camp last December. I was actually looking forward to the experience since I've always wanted to join the armed forces. Blame it on the movies I grew up watching when I was a kid and, of course, my dad who was once a military man. However, destiny ushered me to tread on a different path. I've forgotten all about joining the forces until I entered the Defense College last year.
It was two weeks of intense physical, psychological, and mental training. We were deprived of sleep, food, and the conveniences we were used to. We were also separated from our loved ones. Some of us almost quit, but with the support of each other, fortunately, no one threw in the towel.
