star light, star bright

it was only during bookout just now when my friend called me 2nd Lieutenant Md Afzal Sir that i realise how close i am to being officially addressed in that manner.

all that separates me from that proud day on the SAFTI MI parade square in the smart number one uniform is 2 overseas trips within this 4 months. the halfway point has been crossed and it's now a dash to the finish line.

dear God, please help me.
