There was an interesting thing that happened when I was supposed to go for BMT recourse. I didn’t have all the items I needed. I only had some of them- the essentials. I was missing over half the items. I didn’t have running shoes, which you need to do your PT exercises in. I informed my superiors, and bought them at the e-Mart at Tekong. I ended up getting most of my missing items along the way, and bumbling my way through without some of them initially. I went through my route march without a water bag- I had gotten one, but then it went missing. (I’m not sure how.)

All in all, BMT was awesome. And I went through it by improvising solutions along the way. I suppose the takeaway from that is- sometimes you just gotta start, rather than worry too much about what you don’t have. We learn along the way.
