It’s been a long 19 weeks guys. I’m really proud of every single Gryphon warrior and we’ll all come so far since we enlisted on the 17th of Feb. We’ve all lost so much weight and it’s really amazing when I look back at our old photos and see how fat we all used to be.
We’ve been through thick and thin, from doing 15min bridges to having 3 mins to eat to being all emotional at field camp to being high at coy cohesion to having a blast at recruits night to abrasions and blisters during our final route march to standing tall and proud at the marina floating platform.
Platoon 2, we’ll always had our differences, especially coming from Bronco and Eagle. But I’m glad and so proud to be from platoon 2 because despite everything, we were able to work together when it mattered most. We pulled through as a Platoon and noone fell out during the 24km route march. I am so honoured to have met every single one of you and I hope that we keep our friendships alive even though we will now be split up and carrying on with our own lives.
I’ve gotten to know some of you Platoon 1 guys better through Sit Test and I wish we had bonded earlier. You guys have been great friends and I hope that we will be able to keep in contact. 
As for commanders, Thank you for everything that you have done for us. I know we’ve been a rough batch, but I hope that we have done enough to make you proud and know that you have truly impacted our lives forever and have transformed us, or at least me, into a man that I can be proud of.
One Heart, One Mind. Gryphon Warriors forever.

I for one, can say that I’m glad to finish BMT. It’s been a great 19 weeks. Looking back, I know I’ve given my all and that I am now proud to call myself a Private. That aside, I think I’ve truly changed as a person. I’ve become more responsible, more mature, and I think a more morally upright person. I know that I’ve got some way to go before I become the person I truly want to be, but for now, I’m proud of the progressed I’ve achieved.
I’ve definitely also become thinner and more self-confident. I used to be so self-conscious, being so ashamed and embarrassed to go out with my older friends because I had grown so fat, but I am sure now that I am no longer this way, and I’m so happy for this.
Thank you for those who have supported me through these 19 weeks, and sorry for those that I’ve hurt along the way. From here on out, I think I can start being the man I want to be, and I am going to continue improving myself.
P.O.P LO!
