but not as expected.
we hope we've left a legacy behind,
thebangbangsquad
rvnps107, NCOs'10.
020207 - 250610
'cos you know we rock.
the first batch of NCOs to use the NP room in the Boonlay campus.
4 years in NP, in a blink of an eye.
once in our lives, four years of our time.
have you ever wondered why must we serve?
cos we love our unit and want it to be first.
now that we've stepped down,
we're just one step away from losing the final connection with rvnp,
the official ROD.
before today, i didn't really feel much, although fully aware that today's the final act with my s1s.
don't know why, maybe the feeling just didnt dawn upon me.
i wonder how many of them understood what all of us said to them throughout the 4plus months together.
maybe they were too fresh to understand, maybe it all sounded cliche and superficial.
but all we've said, im sure impacted a few.
experience we've shared, i hope can become a guide to them, preventing them from committing the same mistakes.
the time we've spent with them, although not long, i hope is long enough to leave them a good impression of rvnp, long enough to instill some pride of being an rvnp cadet in them.
things are always easier said than done, promises they've made, not all are done.
but at least, i see potentials, i see hope in them.
all im hoping is that their passion dont die as their journey with rvnp continues.
it may not be easy, or rather, it is going to be difficult, but never give up.
it seems a long way to them right now, but the next thing you know, you're the ones stepping down and passing on the unit to the next batch of leaders already.
im sure one fine day, they will understand all that was said today.
(provided that they do remember what was said)
i believe they have what it takes to be an elite squad, really.
with the correct mindset and attitude that they have started with,
just need to continue, make it last.
things will definitely change for the better if that continues.
no matter how harsh we may seem, we've never ever given up on them,
no ics will ever give up on their squads.
so s1s, time to buck up really,
time spent with yall was not enough, yet filled with memories.
do treasure your following cadet years and shine as a great nco squad in the future.
hoping that when we come back as old seniors and when y'all take your squads,
we'll be really proud of yall.
we believe y'all can do it,
if you think you can, you can!
rvnps110, all the way (:
time with them was short,
our expectations was definitely harsh for a s1 squad.
yes, our unit is no longer the same, we need a change.
they'll understand it one fine day, as they grow to love rvnp.
how true,
its impossible to understand all the agony, all the misery beneath the smiles.
we're posers, quoting wying.
beneath the fake front that we all put on, we all were stressed out.
feelings that cadets never understood until they experience it for themselves.
i've never once thought i would break down infront of them.
last thing i thought i would ever do.
but i did.
it may be a bad thing, or a good thing.
all i can say is that, i didnt expect everything to end this way, nobody did.
today alot of ex-ncos came back,
Ma'am Xinyue, Staff Sijia, and many ex-ncos.
they saw our s1s.
Never expected myself to be so affected, tried hard to control.
Tears just flowed.
thinking back, yes, my squadmates, who supported me all the way throughout my 4years.
people i've considered part of my life, just like rvnp, our unit.
love for my squad brought me this far, the thought of us stepping down right now breaks my heart.
always wondered how life would be after ROD, after step down.
will we still be as close as before, definitely not.
will we become strangers even, i dont want to know.
bonds we've forged, the thought of losing them, i dont want to think further.
rvnp, a place where i learnt alot, a place which helped me grow, watched me grow.
somewhere where i met a group of important people.
a cca i'll never forget.
alot of things on my mind right now,
but cant seem to find the exact words to put them in.
all i can say is,
thanks for all the memories squadmates, ex-ics, s1s. (:
a simple thankyou, but you know behind it, theres much more than that.
i love rvnp,
i love bangbangsquad,
i love my s1s,
a love i'll never forget.
may future generations of rvnp help bring the unit to greater heights,
for thats the wish of many.
RVNP SOLID SAH!
you can take a cadet out of rvnp, but you cannot take rvnp out of a cadet.
