I've always wanted to be 1 of these 2 things: a figher pilot in the RSAF or a combat officer, preferably a Commando/Guards officer.
And I can be neither, mainly due to my eyesight.
I have a serious eyesight problem, with about 700-800 degrees of short-sightness. That means I'm blind without my glasses. Literally. Steal my glasses and I can't tell your left hand from your right hand, even if you stick both front in front of my eyes. And that also means i always have to wear glasses. With lens that are so irritatingly thick, you could put them next to a LOTR trilogy book (like the one I'm reading now) and you won't be able to know the difference. [Okay, maybe this is slightly blown up. But you get the idea.]
Okay. So I can't live without my glasses. And this restricts my movement a lot. I can't hop onto an F-15 and start steering the damn thing high in the sky, breaking the sound barrier and speed limit without anyone catching me. That's cause when I break the sound barrier and speed limit, I break my glasses along with them cause there's 10 times my body weight acting on me. So I break my glasses, I become blind and I crash the jet into Suntec City and there's gonna be a new 911 event.
Neither can I wear the red beret, cause I can't do the Airborne course without killing myself trying to figure out where in the world I am at a few thousand feet above the ground without my glasses. And I can't perform tasks that the most highly trained soldiers in the SAF should be able to do cause I've got 2 transparent things in front of my eyes.
And all these really irritates me cause it's not my fault I'm short-sighted. Neither of my parents were. You can't blame me for being such a studious boy at primary school, can you? Reading every single book that comes along until this shite developed.[Honestly, this was the reason I'm wearing glasses. Really.]
But nvm. I'm going to be things far greater.
I'm going to whack my As. Then I'm going to get a SMS(Military) scholarship from the SAF. Then I'm going to join the army. Then I'm going to in OCS. Then I'm going to become an artillery officer. Following that I'll spend the rest of my time playing with the Primus, FH20000, Pegasus and all those stuff. My best friend would be a 155mm round that can blow your ass away.
Yep. Bye. God Bless.
