sleeping in field camp...

during the field camp we had to build our basha with our buddy and sleep in it... although the space is quite small but it's the weather condition that cause the thing to get worse...

it rained at around 2.15am on our first night and we were called to leave the basha and go to the training shed to sleep... the rain causes some water to leak into the basha and the surroudning areas was flooded.. this cause our 2nd night there to be not so comfortable... then on the last night we were suppose to sleep in trench that we dig... but it rained in the afternoon and the trench was flooded.. so we were told to cover up the trench and sleep on top of it... then it rained again at about 9pm... so the whole coy of abt 200 ppl squeeze into the training shed to sleep... it's the worse night ever that i could say, cause the training shed was so cram that we had no space to even stretch our legs, and we couldnt sleep most of the time... most of the time we just keep looking at our watching hoping morning will come faster...

Finally... Field camp over & book out... 4 days break!

Finally... after 14 days in Tekong, we get to book out this afternoon... this stay in period is even 1 day longer than the first 2 weeks confinment...

during the past 14 days, 7 days was spent outfield for the field camp... honestly, i dont like to stay outfield, but no choice have to go through it and finally its over.. it's quite tough especially that it rained quite frequenly this period of time and the ground are very muddy.. it makes our shirt muddy and dirty too..

although all these are over there's still another 3 days 2 night SIT test coming next week... but for now just want to enjoy the next 4 days and to say, the Festive Season is here again! christmas... stretch all the way till chinese new year... hee...

btw, this whole week i'll only be in camp for 1 1/2 days.. cos i book it on thurs night, and will book out again on saturday afternoon as usual... only have training on fri and sat morning.. yeah... but got SOC on sat morning.. dunno wheather can do it or not...

No Handphone from 22-28 Oct

Going to book in later liao... sianz...

after that i will only be able to book out on the night of 30 Oct and have 4 days break. But during 22-28 Oct for the field camp i won't be able to use the Handphone, so don't call or SMS me during these few days... If anything do it after 28 Oct...

thanks

Field camp coming soon...

just book out of camp at 1100h... this is the last weekend booking out before the field camp... sianz... the field camp will start next saturday and will last for 1 week... so my next bookout is 30 Oct... and this is great as there'll be 4 days break due to Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa...

for the past week we've been doing mostly BMT stuffs... there's still physical training but not so much liao... i've learnt how to handle the M16 rifle, strip and assemble it, some drills on it... being one of the armskote assistant, i have to went in to the armskote room to help to arrange the rifles before and after drawing arms.. not a good job cos will be scolded like hell if something screw up.. then the air inside the room is very bad...

then yesterday i went to report sick becos my cough is getting worst and i got a bit of flu... spent 3 hours at the MO and got 3 days ATT B, which means light duties until sunday... miss the route march and BCCT, but after that is all those not so siong activity which att B ppl still can participate like the IMT, where we practice shooting using the M16... but i will still miss the physical activities on mon as they wont allow u to participate on the day after the status ends...

Sharing of the Australia Mission trip to my church

Booked out at 1045h yesterday...

PTP has ended on thursday and BMT has started... as such, the timetable will be more packed from now on and training will get tougher... must trust god to do it... had started on BCCT and SOC... the SOC is my worst thing for me to cope... becos i'm afraid of heights and the soc requires us to jump... so sianz... but hopefully as time goes by i can cope with it...

going for field camp in 2 weeks time.. it's 7 days in the forest... must start preparing for it liao...
then this morning, i finally shared my Australia mission trip to my church... actually suppose to share last week but becos of the gurad duty... but my voice today wasnt very good as i got cough and sore thorat... but thank god i didnt cough out loud in front and they can hear what i say... also thanks for 2 of our team member in the trip who went down to hear and support me...

Guard Duty

This week, suppose to book out on Saturday... but suay suay kena guard duty on Saturday... as guard duty on weekend is 24hrs shift, i had to do it until sunday morning... just book out at 8.45am but later had to book in again at 6.45pm... sianz...

this guard duty is regemental as we had not kena any minor yet... so its like quite suay, cos usually sat guard duty they'll ask those who had serious mistake to do.. but now as we're only 3 weeks there so no minor had been given out yet...

i opt to do sentry with my buddy, which is to stand at the entrance of the ferry terminal for 2 hours each time... although we did not move about much, its still as tiring as those who do prawling where they walk around the camp... then in the early hours basically we just stare at one another as there's no body coming in...

this week basically we just had more physical training... the road march is extended to 4km liao... but we got more admin time as there's no night activities... but our muscels are aching now from all the exercises and the guard duty...
