FINALLY!! After Running so many Numerous SOC Training and Tests and Finally! I Cleared The second year timing.
Monday was quite slack. Did SOC training in the morning. I ran with 2 dummy mags. 2 mags feels quite light but doing SOC with it has its effect. Hahax After that in the afternoon we sleep. HAahax I just love free time. All we ever do is sleep!
Tuesday Morning's SOC test was cancelled due to rain. So we just go back to our bunk to do what we do best. Which is of course sleep! Hahax SOC Test was postponed to the evening. Kelvin Paced me throughout the whole rundown. Running of 600M towards the obstacles was ok. Quite shack though. Obstacles was quite a challange when you are shack but still its a piece of cake. But when I cleared all the obstacles, The final rundown of 700M was the biggest challenge for me. The most tiring part of the test for me. And this test will be one heck of a Test I will not forget! When I jump off the low ramp, the last obstacle, Tankee SGT Zheng Qiang, my BMT Sergeant, Came and started shouting at me. That makes two person pacing me. After less then 100Metres off the ramp, My PC LTA Marting ran in and Started shouting. 3 person Pacing me, 3 person shouting at me, 3 person fucking me. Imagine that... Hahax Well at least I passed! 1st year timing is below 10.00min While 2nd year timing is below 9.30min. I got 9.25min which means I cleared Second year!! Finally! HAhax
Wednesday We had some chemical defence training. Some guy from Singapore Combat Engineers, SCE, Came to teach us about some Chemical Defence Shit. It seems kinda cool though, wearing the Chemical Suit and Gas Mask all. But when you do it, It actually sucks! Morning we had lectures and afternoon we did practical.
Thursday We went Pasir Laba to do the Chemical THingy with Tear Gas. We wear our suit, Go into a Tear Gassed room, Do five simple exercise, Change Canister, and then the final one which is to remove the mask, open your eyes and say your rank name and NRIC to the Officer inside. Man my eyes and nose was burning! Hahax
Friday morning there was IPPT test for those who failed and those who didnt take. I got Silver already so I went to sleep. Hahax Spent almost the whole of the today sleeping. Next week another Outfield. Gonna spend My birthday eating Combat Ration...
Haiz Serve Like Dogs and yet the Pay is pathetic... Wasted 8 months of my life already. 14 more months to go 14 more paydays to ORD!
