When we're in the army, we can't wait to ORD. Now that we already did, we're missing that togetherness dearly. When I met up with some of the guys, we suddenly have nothing to say. We only felt something inside. The feeling of meeting up with someone you've spent 1 and a half years together in the same room and place doing the same things, going through the same shit. I can't describe it. Its just a great feeling.

When I look at every one of the pictures, it just makes me remember how it happened, where, when. Exactly how it is, as if it happened just last week. The laughters and sweat that we shared together. I missed them a lot.

From the navigation exercise in Taiwan, to the slacking in bunk and street soccer matches at Maju Camp, I remember everything; how it felt like. There's nothing more evident of the brotherhood of our platoon than during our platoon training and exercises and the Taiwan trip. Although we had our differences and dislike, whenever someone is down, there'll always be someone else that will lend a hand. And everyone in the platoon has the same mindset.

Walking 46km, around Taiwan for navigation isn't funny but with the right people, laughing together and trust with the navigators, the exercise isn't daunting at all, ITS FREAKING FUN. We're tired but we kept our spirits up by joking around and laughing. I missed that feeling. The trust, the laughters and the care for each other. Its almost the same now at the workplace but somehow its different. Although Army sucks and still does take away our youth, living together with strangers taught us and created something that we can never learn or get anywhere else.

It'll sound kinky but it does makes sense. We all learned and developed the spirit of brotherhood. Something not many people can do, but we did, all 21 of us.
