Those Who Sweats Together Stays Together

 

Let me to share with you my memories of the Dessung training . Prior to sharing my story, let me  briefly talk about Dessung. Suung denotes an act of protection, and de-implies peace. The meaning of the term "Dessung" is "Guardians of Peace". In the nation, there are 39318 trained dessup. His Majesty the King has aspirations for the Dessung project. After giving you a little background, allow me to share my personal Dessung training experience. Training at Dessung must be enrolled through online registration, with a first-come, first-served basis. Since the training was very different from a typical one, we had medical examinations to assess our health, and several of us had to withdraw because of the results. On the other hand, it appears that I was really fortunate to be chosen for the program after being accepted during the online registration process and receiving a positive report from my medical examination. My training took place in Pelrithang and lasted for three and a half months. Despite the fact that the training was difficult, I became stronger both mentally and physically as the days went by. Even though I was physically strong before the training, I lacked mental toughness. However, the dessup training strengthened my mental toughness to the point that I could hear real rifle fire with bravery. I received training in a wide range of subjects, including military terminology, drill, weapon handling, and physical fitness. I experienced several thrilling adventures, including river crossings, patrolling, rappelling, and jungle survival. I received meticulous training equivalent to that of a military trannie in every area. Even if one person makes a mistake, the whole company will receive severe punishment because the regulations were so rigorous. Days became weeks, and weeks became months, and it was difficult for us to depart. But all of the pain I went through was worth. I can't claim to have learnt everything, but I can say that perhaps god gave me this chance to learn how challenging a military career can be and what we seem to be easy is actually not easy.
