The party was held at the Chef's & Brew at Damansara Heights and as early as 8pm, we have conquered almost the whole restaurant. With a total attendance of almost 100 pax, we did not just have a good laughing moment but as always... a blast camwhoring session!

Beside partying to celebrate yet another month of consistent and discipline training as well as getting up close and personal with the Reds (instructors) whom were always so serious, firm and strict while training and also to foster a closer camaraderie between recruits within the same platoons and from other platoons, this month celebration is a little bit special!!

Special because we have with us today a recruit whom started out with the worst discipline and was almost a permanent member of the Couch Potato Lazy @ss Club that had never ran any races before joining our community. Recently, this recruit had completed his first full marathon 42.2km in Borneo International Marathon within the cut-off time. We are very proud of Ali Rahimi Ferdosinezhad.

We are also very proud of our recruit whom had never ran but began running with us and had achieve a good placing as top 3, top 10 and top 50 best runners. We are proud of Joe Liew (Energizer Night Race TOP 50 best for full 42.2km marathon), Norliza Mohd Khaled (No 2, Women's Open at Energizer Night Race), Shyamala Pillai (No 3, Lariam PDRM), Afiza Abdul Halin (No 9, for 10km at Borneo International Marathon), Kenny Lock Heng Weng (TOP 50 best at PJ Dawn race) and Nawal Aini Zulkifli for no 9, full 42.2km Marathon at Borneo International Marathon.

This month too, our lead instructor Staff Sarge (COBC) Dann completed and became the first finisher from Asia to survive the Australia's most grueling "Longest Day Challenge. The Longest Day Challenge is bootcamp hardcore, high intensity challenge which is equivalent to our bootcamp program (multiply by 10 times the intensity) for 25 consecutive hours).

This party was also to share that joy of our comrade's achievement which is both inspiring and motivating.

Yes.. of course.. also to enjoy MAKAN!!!

Some people joined the bootcamp to be thin and to lose weight, some people joined the bootcamp to be faster in running, some people join the bootcamp to be healthy but there are also some people (like the one below) that join the bootcamp so she can eat!!!

A short speech of appreciation from me

From June 2012 onwards, for anyone to be certified as an ACE for their training, they must performed and attend the Benchmark Assessment on the first session and the 13th session. It is imperative for all recruits to be assessed on the first and on the last session to ensure that our program generates results.

But the most important message today is in recognizing the achievements of our recruits... the first marathoner Ali Rahimi Ferdosinezhad (from a non-runner to a marathoner- we are proud of ya) and the good placing of our members during competitions and also to our instructor, Staff Sarge Dann for being a finisher and survivor of Australia Longest Day event and Sarge (COBC) Nawal for getting no 9, in women's open Borneo International Marathon..

Everyone was all ears...
