Surprise Surprise

It's official. Fieldcamp's over.

It was a tough ride, but it was worth it. I definitely did mature as a person, and I got to know myself better through the ride. It was short, but it definitely made me see how people truly are.

Highlights

1st day - marched to Yankee 34 campsite, where we stopped. got weird feeling that it's not quite 8km yet, and it's true. kena tekaned for a while before being called up to march for another 2km before finally stopping. Basha building.

2nd day - was the first platoon to get up for RO. Got fucked for accounting of strength during 5bx. Fire movement, FCO drill. got turned out at night because things happened. High kneel at the assembly area for 20minutes before going to sleep. Guess it was around this time that I felt that highkneeling was getting easier and easier for me. lol.

3rd day - Got fucked for people not filling water to the brim. Again for accounting of strength. Digging of shellscrape straight after Hellstrike. Hellstrike was not that bad actually, but yeah we still got fucked badly. Leopard crawling on rocky ground is not a joke. Got parent's letters, cried, wrote a return letter. Rained very heavily during night where there was no basha. COLD.

4th day - Got fucked for accounting of strength again. Leopard crawled on rocky ground again, only this time in vest slack, and it's not funny anymore. lol. Group battle course. Stand to in shellscrape, filled up shellscrape and went for mandatory powder bath before sending fieldpacks back to coyline first. oh yeah, took photos for graduation parade. finally can cluster fuck and sleep together. Sergeants bought a bottle of lemon tea for us to share. Thank you sergeants!

5th day - marched back in morning, tcss with sergeant while cleaning rifle, store items. Platoon 3 got fucked up in the end when they have no time to do area cleaning while needing to bath, change and pack up for book out. Sergeant's patience ran thin.

That's why platoon 3 is the best platoon in Raven Coy, but I just hope that we can prove to the sergeants that we are not taking them for granted. It's gonna be hard, but platoon 3 can do it.

ah. family matters.

Twin brothers got PSLE results, Nicholas got 228 while Aloysius got 254. damn. I was shocked, but what to do, my family is this good. heheh. Good work brothers! =)

Thanks mum for cleaning my tons of clothes, didn't managed to help much, but I really appreciate it. Thanks dad for the moral support. Thanks brothers for uh, being an ass? LOL.

Now enjoy your chalet while I book in to Tekong Chalet later.

Hand Grenade training! SIT test and all's cleared! I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. lol.

Fieldcamp!

It's that time of the week again, where I use my remaining time to write posts on how life in army for me was. lol.

Last week was short, due to the Hari Raya Holiday, but the 6km route march was testing the limit of the platoon. Movement was okay, but there were not much songs and no encouragements given.
For these reasons the platoon were punished by our commanders.

Of course I'm displeased by how things turned out. It's not fun to have only 6 or 7 out of 60+ people who lead songs throughout the whole route march. What's going to happen to them when the 16km route march comes? wtf.

anyways, fieldcamp's on tuesday, and we'll be having preparations on monday. I wonder how it's going to be like, but I guess it's gonna be punishments and more punishments if platoon 3 doesn't get their act together. =x

It's gonna be tough, but it's gonna be worth it. Fieldcamp's a place to learn about you own self too, since you don't know how you're gonna react to new situations. man I can't wait to do that. haha.

At least my birthday's not during fieldcamp. hehe

Selamat Hari Raya

Today's book-in day. Why are we booking in so early? because there's IPPT tomorrow. it's not that I don't like it, but it's more of a confidence issue. Having no counts when I can easily jump pass the 216 mark scares me. that's why.

I'm booking in at 1737 by the way. The whole island are booking in today. Havoc sia. lol.

Friday's my birthday! and we're doing urban ops. wish me luck and hope my rifle won't get stunned again. lol. 6 click march comes tomorrow afternoon, and blisters ahoy!

I wonder why my blisters keep on coming even after I'd worn my shoes for like, 2 months already.

Last time I had so much time to spend, but now I'm always short on time, time, time..

BMT week 1

Last week was slack. haha.

But one bad thing happened. During Range, my rifle was stunned, again. lol. this time there's punishment and that explains why I have to do weekend guard duty. I'll just treat it as an experience and hope that it does not happen during FieldCamp or Urban Ops, or else it'll be the end for me, I think.

This week's IPPT week. I'm still not confident about my jumping skills, as I always end up sliding across the mat even though I passed the mark. It's no count, and there cannot be another miracle to save me. I hope to improve on that.

Fieldcamp's next week, so wish me luck! lol.

Went to AFA today too!

Everything's so so nice. damn it's good, even though it was a bit lonely going there by myself, but I still managed to enjoy! hehe.

another photo to commemorate my being there. and I did not come back empty handed too. Got a Kamen Rider Figuart to display. lol. it's all well, since I used my interest money. lolol.

Life's good.

BMT Phase finally starting!

woots! finally started BMT phase.. with Range!

it's a good thing, but considering the close shave I'd had with my IPPT. Let's try not to be too happy.

at least now's not all about PT and PT. its more about SOC and fieldcamp and finally, POP!

This week's gonna be tough, with range and imt and all. If i can get company best shot.. hmm.. :D
