Erlebnisse

(n.) the experiences, positive or negative, that we feel most deeply, and through which we truly live, not mere experiences, but Experiences.

I guess this word truly defines my BMT experience. It had been an exciting odyssey, and it would have been a harrowing one if not for the really great companion of my company mates. The journey was certain not a roller-coaster, but it definitely wasn't an impossible one to traverse.

Slapstick jokes and fostering camaraderie had been vital tools in ensuring my survival here, and my company mates are pretty much proficient in this department. Be it trying to pursue gold (LOL) for IPPT together or cheering each other when one seems daunted by the activity at hand, you can be sure that the fighting spirit in every Mohawk warrior shall never waver and instead, our cries of encouragement to each other shall only temper us to advance even more in the face of adversity.

The many events and activities such as Field Camp and Hand Grenade have certainly been eye-openers, but the defining BMT experience that makes us who we are are the friendships forged during the course of the four months here in Tekong "chalet".  It is these ties that make the journey a more bearable one. It is these ties that test our bonds during the demanding trials and tribulations of events and activities. It is these ties that will certainly hold invaluable memories that we will definitely grow fond of in years to come. This is, the BMT experience.
