Had two outfield this week. Monday and Tuesday I had Tact Team Outfield in which we spent most of the time sleeping. Hahax Monday we set off early in the morning, went to Sungei Gedong, Prep our vehicle, and rest there for about 2 hours before we set of to the vegetation, and set up lugger and rest. Hahax. For the first day the only training we actually did was Clearing Trench. The only difference is that we did it with the Tankees. During our movement my platoon's PC's Vehicle got stuck at the side of the road due to soft mud. The Vehicle almost overturned. It was tilting to the rightside of around 45degrees. After that was dinner and lugger again. In the middle of the night we are asked to move off. We are acutally supposed to set off to do a delay where we have to dig shell scrape and all. But on our way there it started to rain and so we went back to admin point to sleep. The most interesting part was Platoon 10's PC vehicle also almost overturned. Just that they got stucked with a more then 45 degrees tilt to the front! Hahax Two vehicle almost overturned in just one outfield. The second day we spent the whole morning Luggering. Or another words Setting up Camo and sleep! Hahax After that there was some movement training in the afternoon or what. We are suppose to take turns between each section. But When It came to my section we had to report back to admin point. So during the whole movement I practically spent it sleeping in the vehicle. Hahax Went back to company line at the evening, Clean Rifle and sleep. The poor Drivers had to stay there for one more day.
Wednesday We continued on some weapon cleaning and Vehicle washing just to get ready for Thursday's Live Firing.
On Thursday we set off early to go for Platoon Infantry Live Firing. Had it in Pasir Laba camp. We did breaching. Where section one and three wait at the FUP, Form Up Point, while section two go and plant the Bangalore and make a blast. And The blast will be our Que to charge forward and wait till we hear gap gap gap and charge uphill and shoot our targets. Freaking shack. The uphill was damn steep! Morning we did one dry run and one actual run. The actual run was quite a screw up. The other company didnt ignite the Bangalore properly so two did not go off and one had to be set off with a charge. My platoon went first for my company and everything went well. We ignite perfectly and went for cover! But bloodyhell it was a blind... We had to wait 2 hours just to have the blind to be cleared. The night there was no Bangalore. All we did was just charge uphill. Simple as that. But before we are about to enter for the Live run, We had to pack up and go back coz some terrorist escape or some shit like that. Well good thing is that we get to go back early. Bad thing is we might have to come back again... Dammit!
Friday we spent most the time resting rifle cleaning. My section went to Clean our vehicle's Cannon. They pull the barrel while I Clean the Firing Component. After which we did our area cleaning and book out. Next week good thing we get to Stay in the company line. But there is some chemical suit shit. Dunno what the heck is that but I heard its gonna be Hot!
