A Tribute to Grpyphon Company 03/05
I Remember
3rd of June our journey began
A bold leap from boy to man
The unfamiliar faces, the coloured hair
Seems like just yesterday we were there
I remember
Parents and siblings, girlfriends alike
Spent their last moments with simple delight
Time to let go, time for a new phase
Never know what I'd learn from this place
I remember
The sergeants screamed and the Sirs did shout
About discipline we learn't day in day out
Soldiering was tough, many realized that
Many a standbys, many a threat
I remember
Field camp came and SIT test after
Days of fun and days of laughter
Rations at first seemed kinda cool
But open them up, you'll be the fool
Cabbage Rice? Or maybe Dahl Curry
You'll rush to the shithole in a hurry
Camo was a pain in the neck
Under the 2 minute barrier we had to break
I remember
Man Move! IC Move! We used to yell
While dodging bullets and artillery shells
Shell scrapes abound like graves for the dead
But these were used just as our bed
7 days soon came to its end
A grand finale, crawling on sand
I remember
3 days of SIT test, days of wayang
Things you never knew or seen in the bunks
Perilous missions and desire to succeed
Kept everyone pumping and back on their feet
I remember
To sing a song was a pleasant relief
The strain of marching through gritted teeth
10 click passed by in the blink of an eye
16, 24; It ended with morales high
I remember
Like the words from the song of the infantry
Brothers in arms, brothers we are proud to be
The salt of tears, the sweetness of Joy
Come together in this bittersweet ploy
Ill Miss the days of running ETs
Ill miss the days when canteen was bliss
Ill miss the days of lobbing grenades
And days of course when we fell in late
No amount of tekan could ever
Take away the spirit from each other
We the men from Grpyhon family
These memories I'll keep with me
The short 3 months in Grphon platoon 3
Ill always Keep with me.
I remember...
