Sunday, February 26, 2006

3 plus wks nvr update my blog liao. Quite busy recently plus got 2 wks confinement. Time realli flies. My bmt period is goin 2 b over liao most major events over liao except 4 the graduation 24km road march. 11 more days 2 pass out parade n abt 4 more days 2 a lvl result release day. Sort of 已经做好最坏的打算... Anw left 11 days 2 POP can c tat every1 in my platoon r bcomin veri on liao n realli can wrk 2gether in unison. Sort of sumarise wad i did in the last 3 wks ba.

IPPT diagnostic test
Tis time all got As xcept 4 SBJ. Damn gek my 2.4 oso meet the requirements 2 get gold but thx 2 sbj cant get gold n even silver. Sigh...

7 days field camp
(Permatang)
Spent 3days @ tat rubber plantation area. Sian 1st day den rain liao end up all of us wet frm head 2 toe. Livin in basha sucks big time coz i so small size oso hav difficulty movin abt in the basha. Den @ nite got powder bath 4 hygience purpose. We need 2 use the prickly heat powder 2 powder our entire body. In the end, alot of geishas in my platoon. The funniest team is we r req 2 b able 2 eat spring squeeze trigger successfully (pull ure elastic band of ure underwear n den release 2 produce mushrm cloud of powder) in front of sgts in order 2 pass the powder bath.

Nightmare on 2nd day. I kenna plt IC. tat day kena knocked it dwn 60 bcoz of whole plt late n i didnt noe need 2 report parade state s well. @ nite almost lost my rifle magazine so kena sentry duty when we went oil palm. The worst things is it rains damn heavily when we slpin. In the end, we r like swimmin in our dreams

3rd day nuthing much so we marched off 2 campsite 2. Thruout the whole FC, we everyday got 2 put on camo cream which is made frm veg oil on our face, neck n hand. Outfield shittin exp is the best! i tot i can remain constipated 4 the entire FC but on 2nd day cannot tahan liao. Got 2 dig my own shit hole. Once the shit come out, all the flies will land n eat ure shit some may even land on ure ass. Dunno y durin outfield the shit smell super jialat compare 2 the shit in bmtc2. Muz b the combat ration. tokin abt tat, the field ration some menu veri nice some like shit esp chic pontay rice. I wld rather eat butter biscuits 4 lunch rather than CPR. Some menus r veri nice like chic bolognese but some super jialat such tat we come up wif a song 2 sing abt durin our march.

Durin the 3 days of FC @ permatang, we had individual fieldcraft lessons n practices which comprise of firemovement, camouflage n those jungle warfare stuff. @ the same time, we can fire blanks usin our rifle which onli got pop sound.

(Oil Palm)
We spent another 2D3N @ tis plantation. @ the same time, i did a 2hr sentry duty on the 1st nite s punishment 4 my magazine. @ oil palm, we practice diff types of firemovements everyday except 4 technical break day. Durin tech break day, we were served wif fresh ration n we were allowed 2 bathe. But i super suay end up bathin @ water pipes outside toilet s the toilet got onli 3 shower n we got 2 rush 4 time. On the last day damn cock. All thx 2 the preserved fruits i ate durin dinner. After dinner, went 2 urine n halfway shit start 2 come out. Realli wth. End up goin 2 alv basha 2 borrow toilet paper n ET blade s my basha is 2 far by the time i reach there the shit land on my underwear liao. Luckily made it in time. Durin tis process i lost my last day ration. Scarly i cover the ration s well when coverin my shit hole...

(Reclaimed Land)
6th day marched 2 reclaimed land. Surprisinly they provide us wif fresh ration 4 the entire day. But when the diggin of own shellscript starts i realise y they provide FR. No matter wad is ure height, every1 got 2 dig a 2m by 0.5m by 0.5-1m coffin 2 simulate defence operation by usin a small ET blade. The most unfortunate thing began 2 happen. It began 2 rain heavily. After finishin shellscript, 2 sect will dig a fire trench which is 2-3 times deeper than a shellscript in the rain. Every1 will take turn 2 help diggin while some will prone dwn in their shellscript drinkin the mud water in it. When i was pronin damn hungry so take out biscuit n eat n end up eatin some mud s well. All of us r like bangala wrkers diggin n diggin. @ nite thx 2 the rain we no need 2 slp in our own mud swimming pool. Instead we slpt @ a nearby trainin shed

(BIC)
B4 we head back 2 BMTC, we went 4 our BIC. In tis course there will b a GPMG firin live rnds above us so we had 2 crawl our way thru the wire obstacles b4 reachin a grenade bay 2 throw a dummy grenade. Wah heng it rains or else we will suffer more cuts frm the dry sand. After tis course i realli hate back crawl s it is damn time consumin s compared 2 leopard crawl. after all the tedious crawlin we all went back 2 bmtc wash up n bk out on the nxt day which is sat.

100m live range
Bk in on sun den do PT 4 nxt 2days. Den spent 2 days @ the range 2 use our rifle 2 fire live rnds @ diff tgt boards. Nighttime shootin is totally crap. I almost got perfect score 4 day shoot but nite shoot quite jialat. My rifle oso quite screwed up kena quite a no of IAs. The worst thing is the person bside mi misfired n tat rnd land veri nice 2 mi n realli freak out the whole lot of us includin the commanders. I realli got 2 thx god tat the bullet nxvr reflect back frm the grnd n hit back in my direction. If there is some1 in front of him, he might kill tat person lar.

SIT test
Our last outfield trngin. Damn suay my field ration all chic pontay rice. Tis test is veri impt 4 pple like mi who wan 2 go OCS. 1st day pitch basha den learn knot tying. Super suay i kenna Light Anti-tank Weapon something like bazoka. Realli sian 1/2 coz got 2 carry tis n my rifle whereever i go den got 2 hug both my "wife" n "mistress" 2 slp 2 prevent kenna stolen. Nxt day ext accessor came n gave us the missions 2 complete in my team which comprises of medic, LAW, navi, claymore, miner, signal, demo. 1st day the missions i abit sian 1/2 mostly tie knot n i nt veri well in doin tat. @ the same time, i nvr kena IC or 2IC 4 ani mission on tat day. Tat day oso got interview on y u wan 2 b jnr SAF commander. Hweva on 2nd day, my knot tie skill improve n somemore i kenna IC n 2IC 4 2 missions super happy sia.

The worst thing abt SIT test is they realli wan 2 c whether u can still wrk well under fatigue. Thus they made us do fast march every mornin b4 our missions. Fast march realli sucks lar the spd is runnin but the fact is we r nt runnin but marchin. Den frm 1 stn 2 another stn got 2 run (damn the LAW!) n super hot(Tat's y we all nw super chao ta!) Tekong realli sucks when it rains it nvr stop. When it is sunny, temp can reach up 2 40!

IPPT/ guard duty
Came back frm field camp damn shagged. Nxt day got SOC run- dwn(super tiring), BCCT, 60:120. Tat day i nearly suffer frm shortness of breath. Den the nxt day got 16k road march. Heng our whole plt keep singin or singin or else i tik we can b zombies liao. Den the nxt day got IPPT.

hweva i kena regimental guard duty. tis 1 every1 has 2 do it once so i lan lan still hav 2 do. I kena prowler wif my fren(patrol arnd the whole sch1 n 2) frm 8.30-10.30 n 2.30-4.30. B4 we went 4 guard duty, we wld go 2 the altar bside our guard bunk 2 offer incense 2 the deities 2 bless us after hearin so mani ghost stories in tekong n the fav spot 2 spot them durin guard duty. Along our patrol we kept tokin 2 1 another den reach those funny spots we will walk briskly. End up we juz hav 2 walk 2 rnds per shift. When we went back coy line, we went 2 bathe n were entitled 2 hav another 2 hrs of slp.

BAC
When i woke up, went 2 do peer appraisal 2 rank all ure plt mates in 3 cat: most preferred fren, stress tolerance, ability 2 lead. do until super pek cheh. Den go 4 battle assault course in which we will simulate rifle fightin wif dummy. Damn sian obj is 2 b confident n aggressive thus got 2 apply "make-up" 4 1 last time. Thus frm 1 dummy 2 another dummy, we hav 2 YA........ (Got 2 hold like those yam seng durin weddin dinner) n run. While doin the combos on dummy, oso hav 2 Ya..Ya..Ya..! Realli like yaya papaya! my most hate stuff came back. Along the way bside fightin got combination of leopard crawl n BACK CRAWL! 1 rnd is enuff 2 make me realise it is damn tired 2 YA..... n run @ the same time! Unfortunately thx 2 some ah guas who cant b aggressive n YA.... properly we re-do the whole course again. YA..... until i no voice.

Live HG throw
Nxt day went 2 throw live hand grenade. but 1stly we got 2 practice thrwin drill grenade who onli gave out a pop sound. den went 4 the real 1. Got some pple throw live HG who ended up s blind( means the grenade wont xplode upon landin).So we got 2 wait 30min per blind b4 some special pple go in, set up C4 2 ignite the grenade. Got 1 sir best. when the rec @ his bay threw the grenade, he count 1000,2000,3000, 4000, 5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,CHIBYE! coz it is a blind. The cb is super loud lar coz he says it in2 the walkie talkie n all those havin WT get shocked by it. Got 1 incident when we kept our HG inside our SBO got 1 cockster throw a blind. We damn sian sit there waitin n we were like walkin bomb. Anithing wrong in our SBO we might explode. Soon my turn... Quite nervous but the sir @ my bay kept tokin cock wif mi. Heng when i threw no blind feel damn relieved or else pple will blanket party me. After tat went back n we prepared 2 bk out.

So fast! Nw onli left wif SOC test n POP 2 sum up my BMT! Feel quite happy but sad 2 depart frm such a wonderful platoon except 4 ...... Nw can onli c whether i can get in2 OCS or SISPEC.
