Sunday, July 16, 2006

Tis wk quite ok xcept 4 the mon, wed n fri farkleg trng. Mon main gun technical handling test. Everything was ok 4 me n my buddy, weisheng xcept 4 1 thing. We can strip the main gun fast but cant assemble fast n keep failin the timing. Heng after tryin a few times, we finally do it within the timin n get redcon 1.

Tues did maintenance of the turret. In tis course, i no need 2 apply camo cream liao hweva i got 2 deal wif grease. Once u r busy u juz dun care abt anithing n want 2 get things done asap so i heck care n juz dip my whole hand in2 the bucket of grease 2 get it in2 the grease gun. Tat day oso acc 4 ovm n heng tis time rnd i managed 2 recover some more items tat r lost.

Wed the start of AGTS. It is like goin arcade playin free simulation tank game wif cold air con. We learn hw 2 engage tgt n den fire @ tat tgt. The simulation realli super zai makes everything so realistic n the entire thing juz operates like a real tank. Haha AGTS lessons oso let us hav quite a no of canteen breaks. The best thing on wed is we got nite off. @ 7, we catered a bus outside our camp 2 JP. Wah tat day i spent 20 bucks in pizza hut 4 eatin 2 slices of pizza, a plate of pasta, 1 bwl of soup n 2 glasses of pepsi. Though the nite off is short, but it is still better than nothing. Havin 3hrs of civilian life nt tat bad after all.

Thurs another day of AGTS n tat is realli the 1st time i felt stressful s a tank cmmder inside the simulator. Multi-task like siao. U got 2 give driver 2 advance n ctrl CMG n hav a lookout 4 enemies. Den got 2 load weapon n ask gunner 2 get the range. @ 1st i realli fumbled. Tgt nt identified i go n say tgt unidentified. The sgt 1st response is u c UFOs ar! My frens in the ctrl rm upon hearin tat laff like siao until I in the simulator can oso hear.

Fri AGTS shoot @ movin tgt. Wah jialat the tgt move quite slowly i oso quite hard 2 hit. If real life, confirm veri jialat one. Tat day mornin finally rain @ the rite time n we tot no more farkleg. 2 our dismay, the warrant push AGTS 4ward n b4 bkout we got 2 farkleg. Tis wk farkleg 2x2km run until i realli breathless. Nw everyday got 2 do duckwalk 4 sbj. 4 my circuit trngin is always jump jump jump. Nw left wif 12 more days 2 the final ippt test. Gold=$200 + a prestigious badge. Nw i silver onli 100 bucks. 9 more cm....

Den yesterday went marina south 2 eat steamboat wif my classmates. Ha tis time i wise nvr go get 2 much fried rice. Anw the fried rice there still sucks. Other than tat everything still ok. B4 tat had a fun pool session esp the elimination game. Ha some of the gers complain dun wan 2 go back sch while 4 us guys, we realli envy them s they can go back 2 studyin. In camp, regimental n goes by bk which mean alot of xtras + confinements... In sch where got such things wan? After tat, took photos n went esplanade 2 c some funny performances b4 headin hme. Fun n enjoyable outin but 2 bad lao shi cant join us.

Nxt wk AGTS plus evaluation test n it marks the end of my course honeymoon period. After tat is crew drills n outfield where all hell break loose s quoted by the instructors n pple frm prev TCC batch. All the xtras n confinements will come in. Heng nxt wk i kena guard duty on fri den until sat mornin i can go hme liao. Nxt wk oso got ippt trial test. Hopefully i can get gold tis time rnd such tat i can no need 2 take another test. But i still dun tik miracle can happen ba!
