「 Eric Lim yawns... Sunday, November 19, 2006 」

Last last wk wk was my 1st outfield cmbt team mission. Tues evenin we moved out n stopped @ a place 4 laager n set up camo net. Wah my men like go 4 picnic brought alot of canned food such s pork cubes n tibbits 2 eat. I diff i outfield no appetite 2 eat wan such tat i can survive on 2 packets of biscuits 4 1 meal. Wonder hw they got their appetite 2 eat. Den we rested n slpt inside the tank. Wah the tank super cramped up but ha i still ended up slpin in it.

3am i moved out wif my tank plt 2 an objective 2 provide support based fire. On the other hand the AIs includin sgts got 2 dismount n do abt 5 km of bashin 2 enemy objective. My AI bunkmate, Darren told me they even hav 2 cross drain up 2 knee lvl. Ha heng i no need 2 dismount. On the obj, i got 2 go help my men chop tree n leaves 2 camo the tank. The shitty CB leave super useless 1hr den withered liao defeat the purpose of camoing the tank liao. It is called CB leaf bcoz it looks like .....

Thruout tank plt quite slack. We nvr dismount but we juz park somewhere 2 guard axis or provide support based firing. We dun even need 2 dig shellscrape unlike our AI frens. But when went back 2 wash tank, S & maintenance plus cleanin of weapon we r @ disadvantage due 2 the lack of manpwr. Tat wk fri we got 2 go outfield again 4 42 SAR operational ready parade.

Sat i went sim lim sq 2 get my psp 4 abt 400 wif some modifiders plus accessories. Nw i regret gettin a 1gb mem stick which can onli put a bit of games onli. End up i got another 2 gb mem stick s well. Dumb rite? Went kbox wif my army frens plus play LAN. Nxt day i almost got sore throat n flu but after restin bcame ok liao. Anw thx alot jeremy 4 the lunch n liang teh.

Tis wk quite slack lar n tat's y our pc allowed us 2 clear leave. mz mon n tues, cs wed n thurs while me take fri. Hwevea, tis wk got alot of physical trng. Let's start wif the monday cmder trng. Tat's the killer. SBJ across parade sq 2 n fro, Shuttle run across parade sq 2 n fro, human wheel barrow 2 n fro across half parade sq, bridge plus runnnin arnd parade sq. After 1 rnd of such circuit alot of us r dyin liao. Frm tat day onwards our legs ache like siao.

Tues our pc conducted PT. Tis time rnd nt so jialat but due 2 the prev day 1 my leg really goin 2 crumple liao. After tat play frisbee wif my men, pc n ps. 1 time frisbee dropped 5 push ups. Wah i record holder 4 tat day, did abt 200 plus of pushups n i realli dunno y i cant catch properly... But some throws r realli 2 high 4 me lar... Wed battalion run n i suay suay kena demostrator 4 warm up, static wrkup n cooldwn. Need 2 stand on table n show pple all the exercises despite my achin legs... Thurs best the whole coy bked out @ 1 liddat 2 go 4 half day off while i can juz go n enjoy my leave until monday. Haha!

Sigh last wk i almost get my frens in2 trouble 4 my wrong decision. I covered up my gunner's serious offence n asked my frens 2 help me out in hidin it frm my ps. I dunno whether i m helpin him ar nt by doin tis but i juz wan 2 let it b the 1st n last warnin 2 him. Dunno y ps got a witness n kept askin us whether we got c the incident. Heng my frens all say no n he was nt persistent in continue checkin. If he is persistent, i tik i will get myself in2 dip shit n draggin along my frens in s well... Sigh 2pid rite made such decision 2 saboh my fren. Nw hope tat my gunner will understand n appreaciate our help.

Up till nw my decision makin is still like shit. Dun tok abt army, in my normal civilian life oso. Always tik 2 much which affect me frm makin a firm decision. I hav 2 admit tat i scare 2 fail or i m quite 好胜 which oso affects my decision makin. Things i ought 2 do n things i ought 2 give i eventually nvr do it. Bcoz of tis pple might tik tat i m a bastard or i 忘恩负义 which i tik i realli am... Den end up lamentin n regrettin in silence. Haiz tok abt change... by the time i change 2 late liao.

Nxt wk got outfield hopefully i can clear my leave ba.

Sian starts tis wk wif cmbat team live firing. Drive here fire den move 2 another place fire. Sian got 2 do 1 dry rnds wif blanks b4 the real one. Sian my tank realli like shit. Fire 1 HE rnd cannot fire due 2 the firin mechanism cocked up. Overall the live firin is a success. Go back super sian wash all 4 tanks plus svcin plus cleanin of arms. By the time we finished it is 1am liao n the AIs hav alreadi bathed.

Tues is svcin day 4 our man. Hweva poor mingze kena arrowed 2 do a 3m stand 4 mountin of boresight board. He golden bayonet everytime always kena such things wan. Aiya so i decided 2 help him out leavin CS 2 supervise the men s he is the PDS tat day. Tat nite those prev commander came back 4 some ord party. Haiz i c alreadi oso sian 1 more yr 2 go 2 ORD. C them so carefree while i m tied dwn wif all regulations n duties n responsibilities.

Wed our men clear leave until thurs. Hweva we got 2 stay 4 some cmmder leadership trngin. Walau eh when can i clear finish my leave? But end up cmmder trngin is some trngin 4 AIs abt their bionix2 none of our business. End up mingze went some wargamin thing in PLC while me n CS got 2 bring men 2 PLC IMT on wed n ATP live range on thurs. Wah the AI men super jialat. Mornin fall in late nvm. Some still need me 2 go up n ask them fall in. I super angry tat day such tat i scolded them n almost gave them mornin PT b4 they go IMT. My tankie men nvr even giv me ani prob until nw. So far i still Mr Nice Guy haven knocked pple dwn yet. IMT super borin they like play free arcade game shootin sar21 n SAW while i sit there n observe. I like 5 mths nvr touch these weapons liao xcept 4 carbine hw u xpect me 2 teach them... I oso found some time 2 meet up wif my bro 2 talk cock n ask him buy snicker 4 me s his ATEC camp is juz behind IMT.

Thurs go live range b safety spec. Super xiong got 2 do rundwn wif those shootin ATP. In the mornin is zeroin of weapon. After they shoot 4 rnds @ 100m, got 2 run 2 tgt board 2 c n run back 2 help them click their weapon such their rnds will land @ the centre of tgt. I tik in the mornin i ran abt 4km liao. Super shagged. Heng my pc came n brought me back 2 camp 4 some navi exe on rover. Heng is tat i no need 2 b safety spec until 12am but suay coz my driver is my OC. Wah he kept ask me bring him frm a place 2 another quite far place by usin map. Although i holland abit, he nvr scold me.

Fri the "best" 4 plus got 2 wake up n go live range again. This time rnd my coy doin battalion zeroin 4 the whole 42 SAR includin CO n RSM. Although my sir asked me 2 b clearance spec, i still hav 2 rotate b safety spec due 2 the limited no of specs available. Super sian. Rundwn again. Tat day marked my 1st knock it dwn. 1 AI man dropped his rifle n still can smile @ me. My first instinct is oei carry on 20. This type of cock up is not pardonable. Tat day i oso spent time interact wif my tankie men n asked them wad they wan 2 do after ORD plus talkin cock. Ha most of them wan 2 carry on wif their poly or uni which is gd lar. The most funny thing is they ask me wan 2 go clubbin lor. I asked them whether i looked like those who go clubbin. They all say yes. WTH! b4 they bk out i conduct stand by area plus 2IC of the coy checked all their cupboards. Wah tik nxt time i will stand by cupboard alot liao. Some of their cupboards paste alot of FHM or maxim posters c until u nose bleed sia. Hahaha.

Sian nxt wk almost everyday outfield. Fri confirm late bkout again. Ha juz 1 more yr 2 go 4 my ORD liao. Long way 2 go. Eh 04s72 pple pai sei the chalet mayb dun hav coz alot of guys nt confirm n the gers' response quite ok onli. NS schedule is unpredictable thus i understand the guys' problems. i c wad can i do abt tis. If got oso a short chalet. Any1 oso can help me out if u wan lar.
