If I had not known, I thought I was back in BMT. But looking at the calendar, I realize that we’ve already been through a year together. It only seemed like yesterday when we felt so depressed after the first week of training. Yet, one year on, we’re reliving this nightmare again.

A slew of complaints and disciplinary issues have sent us back to darker days. Life’s no longer as easy and carefree as before. We’re living with the fear of the unknown. Every waking moment of the day, we’ll be wondering when all this will come to an end.

If you ask me when will we see the light at the end of the tunnel, I would tell you that this tunnel may never end. But I do not have the answer to life’s every question. Maybe one day we’ll break free from the walls and see that there’s more to life.
