Dammit I miss my house my computer my guitar the great outdoors and I Freaking Miss My FRIENDS!! 2 weeks confinement in NS is like hell man! And finally its Book Out Day!!
Two weeks in Camp was tough and fun at the same time. I'll make a quick summary of my 2 weeks in camp. Hahax Well my Enistment day was on Friday the 13th. Some kind of date to make an enlistment... First day notting much happened though. Lots of talks here and there, getting of stuff and all. And them make sure we call our parents before we lights out. Saturday Fall in time was at 5:30 am. I cant remember if we did the 5BX or known as the 5 Basic Xercise... But I remember we had talks on that day also. We also tought the Drills and all. Sunday 15th We are then thought to wear the No.4 uniform. The green army uniform. At night when we finally get to go back and rest, the people who got enlisted one month before us, the PTP batch people Booked in. From Monday onwards the training starts. For us who passed our NAFA test with at least a silver, we went straight to BMT training. No PTP training. We were introduced our Rifle SAR 21. Its a good rifle I'll give the Designer that, but Still the Rifle Sucks! Stupid Designer designed the rifle only for right hand use... Cant be used by left hand. The next day Tuesday the call it the ROM. The Marriage of the 'wife' to the soilder. Weapon Presentation. The presentation was held early in the morning at 5am and we have to wake up at 3am. Bloody hell... After that we had IPPT test somemore. After everything, the CSM, Company Sargent Major tekan us big time. Forgot what was the cause but we got pumped hard. I cant very much remember what exactlly happened on Wednesday and Thursday 19th but I remember some of the stuff that happened. We are tought some technical handling on our rifle. We learn stuff like rifle stripping, rifle assembly and stuff like that. And while we practice, some of us challenge our Sargent and even challenge our Sirs. I challenged my Section Commander. I lost to him in Rifle Striping but I wont him in Rifle Assembly. For that I won for my platoon one can of 100plus. Hahax Havent redeem yet... Thursday 19th July was Izhar's Birthday! I managed to find a good time to give him a call in the morning. Hahax On Friday 20th, its finally one week. We had Route March of 4KM with our full battle order. Was really tough. Stuggling big time. On Saturday the PTP batch booked out. We didnt have much training other then the 5BX. After lunch we even had a Movie Screening. The screen the movie Smokin' Ace. The next day Sunday we also didnt do much. We spent most our time talking to our Platoon Sargent. He's like our friend when he talks to us. Very friendly. He showed us pics of his training in india also. Life as a Tankees. Hahax After that we practiced on our Drills. In the evening the PTP booked in again. This one week we had, time seems to go very slowly. All of us were like home sick. The Next week onwards, the Training got tougher. Monday We had a urine test. Not part of the schdule though... But then we had Grenade lesson. We were rifle test also. The test is Fail Proof. Fail just retake. Sure pass. Tuesday 24th we had the AGR. Agility or Ability Group Run. Dunno what you call that. But what we are asked to do is Run in your catigorised group for givin timing non stop. We have to run the stadium non stop for 20mins. After that we had our first Out field. For our out field, we are tought how to camouflage. Camo cream and stuff like that. And then we are asked to hide. If the Sargent can spot you kena pump. Hahax. I hide in a great spot. Had fun hiding for a while when I realised red ants crawling all over me! Was fun though... Hahax Wednesday Was quite relax. We had lots of free time. We were ask to do area cleaning but we used the time to take a short nap. Our bunk is already cleaned. Hahax The only training we had was Speed Training. For Speed training we have to sprint for 30 seconds, then walk or jog for 60 seconds and sprint again for 7 times. Thursday 26th July We had AGR again of 25mins and We had another Out field training. This time we learn how to through a grenade. We also did lepoard Crawl. And the damn route to crawl was muddy. Sounds fun but cleaning the rifle and the LBV was one hell of a headache. In the evening there was another movie screening. We watched the movie Remember the Titans. Friday 27th. Finally Two weeks! Had a tough day. Talks in the morning and Routh March of 6KM in the evening. After kena tekan... Haiz.
And FINALLY Saturday 28th July Its Book Out day and Its also Siti's Birthday! In the morning We had AGR again in the morning of 25 minutes. After that mass area cleaning before we finally Book Out at 2:30pm. I went back home, Dump my stuff in the washing machine, have a good bath and went to orchard road to meet my SC Buddies!
