After NS, I dreaded going outfield. Lousy food, shelter, and no toilet facilities, among other things.
I think for many of us guys, OBS opened our eyes to the fun of the outfield again. I think the major difference between OBS and NS was the environment. In NS, everyone is me first; avoiding blame; and tekan sessions. In OBS, we helped each other out, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and as a result, we really did enjoy ourselves.
We learnt a lot about each other and especially about ourselves. For myself, I got really scared during the Vertical Challenge due to my fear of heights, but I got through it eventually :)
I think its a good experience; ppl should go for OBS!
I would like to paraphrase one of our team members on something he learnt from his OBS experience:
"Impossible can be done."
