ALPHA 1 BECAME ALPHA on 11th April 2013!!
I know that you all were so surprised and shocked, HAHAHA. Congratulations on your promotion, Alpha. You all deserved it. Don't ever doubt your abilities and what you all can achieve as a part. Work together and EXCEL WITH PRIDE. The reason why we have never left even though times might get tough is because we have never given up on all of you. We see potential and believe that you all can do better. YOUR BEST is yet to be. Good job, Alpha! You've earned it through hard work.
Then, ROD parade drew close.. The parade was a mixed of emotions. First was the reporting of strength. As I faced my cadets, I could see many crying. DON'T CRY!! Okay, I tried my very best to stare somewhere else and control the tears. I won't let myself cry in front of them. I had to be strong! I was trying, but kinda failz.. Okay, then the receiving of ranks. I banged like the most number of times, but after every person went up, I was counting down, counting the number of bangs I had left. My leg hurt, but it was worth it.
Then it was time.
We had to hand over. I could hear sniffs and cryings from my EX cadets, i could see them cry. I wanted so much to comfort them, but I couldn't. I wanted to tell them that it's alright. Things happen, people leave. I wanted to say so much, but I was reduced to silence. I didn't talk. I kept everything inside - the tears, the sadness, the memories, everything. Thank you for the pizza and the notes. Thank you for always supporting us and appreciating what we do. We are so immensely proud of you all and you all can be sure of that. We are EVER READY to say/shout/scream 'WE ARE PROUD TO BE YOUR NCOS'. Work hard to achieve the numerous things, strive hard together. Although we will not be able to follow you through your whole NC life, we will be supporting you all mentally. Do us proud, Alpha. We believe in you.
Then as Seniors, we cried. We had passed out. We endured through EVERYTHING - from our first solid bang, promotions, earning of collar pins, to taking over, WE WENT THROUGH HAPPY TIMES TOGETHER. From the hands-on-the-ground, the scoldings, the RODs, FSD competition, WE WENT THROUGH SAD TIMES TOGETHER. We survived through 4 years together, through all the thick and thin, through happy times and sad times. We encouraged each other to carry on no matter how difficult times were getting. We relied on each other when we needed help. We had conflicts, but resolved them and made up. And most importantly, we bonded as 1. We are a family, with 2 parents and 15 brothers. WE DID IT! And now that it's all over, all we can do now is reminisce the past, laugh at ourselves, cry because it's over, but most importantly, MOVE ON.. All we have now are memories which we will cherish forever. Thank you for everything you have done for me, Delta. You have shaped me and influenced me to become better than who I was. You corrected my mistakes and forgave. You were there when I needed you. You encouraged, inspired and motivated. Thank you for everything you have done for me, Delta. Sorry for being a high -pitched timer. Sorry for the silly mistakes I've made. Sorry for being always forgetful. Sorry for not allowing you all to become timers due to my quick reaction time. I'm sorry! Never forget that we are BORN FOR VICTORY, forever and always. I love you DELTA'13.
