The parade form up soon on the 41st minute of 5pm yesterday and it is really a treat as you see rows and rows of boys and ladies marching in by the accompanying of the SAF Band. It is really a view and I was out with my friend; Charlton's parents to withness the comissioning of officers from Navy, Air Force and Army. Can't really tell the difference of these people apart from Navy; which is in full white, these band of brothers and sisters were turn into suave, dashing and charming fields of whites with much gasto. It is really a hornour to be there under the invitation of my friend and that seriously leave some memories and desire to be an officer.

After a series of pledge taking, songs and presentation, the immediate family members and friends are than invited to pin the new rank onto the newly commissioned officers and this moment is really a very proud one for parents as theit have the hornour to pin the new rank unto their sons and daughters; a sign of prestigious change and responsibilities. It soon end of with the "graduation" style as the newly commissioned officers throw their cap high up into the air in celebrations!I'm very inspired now!!!!
Nevertheless, the 28 weeks of physical and mental training is not something less to handle and that the resposibilities for these brothers and sisters went one step higher as they are being commissioned. Congrats to the new officers of SAF and may you guys strive!! :)
