With my rifle & my buddy & me

Today is my bookout day, bookout bookout...... ALRITE~ Finally back at my home sweet home, sitting comfortably infront of my comp relaxing, not having to fear about sudden fall in or turn out or wat ever. Phew~ Its getting better in OCS as time goes by, maybe because we have become fitter 0_o

28, 29 & 30th April, we visited Armor, Navy and Airforce respectively. Got upclose to tanks firing and we even had a soccer match with the armor staffs there, including the Chief of Armour. Enjoyed the whole match even though we were thrashed 4-0... Really a satisfying experience, especially the food there =P. Navy visit, we got to go onboard a huge supply ship in the middle of the sea via a fastcraft despite the heavy rain, shiok sia. An eye opener for everyone there. Got to experience my first flight on a helicopter during Airforce visit. We sat on a Super Puma, and i had the best position, sitted right infront of the open door, shiok sia! The scenery was marvelous, the wind was strong enough to force my eyes shut.

Sunday, 3th April, was visiting day and my mum, bro, sher and bri came. Were really happy to see them then, really glad they could make it here. Anyway, all i remembered were that we ganna tekang pretty badly after the visit, expected though, lol. I'm the armskote IC now, basically i'm incharge of all the weapons in my platoon. A tedious job and very easily rewarded with extras.... wat the heck

Oh ya something really interesting happened. Our instructors did a spot check on our kitchenette, where we store most of our food. One rule is all food must be in the tupaware, and definitely not many cared to do so. It ended up with us bringing the whole kitchenette down to the parade square, including the cupboards, table, chairs and all the food. We had to shift all the things to different place but in the same positions. Finally we were told to eat up all the food in 2 mins, and many of us were like shocked! Or shiok?! lol we gobbled down everything, even cup noodles. And please dun try to eat fruit bar with dry salty noodles, it tasted worst then olives... Almost every wing in ocs knows about this incident.... hahaha

Had our Compass Course on friday, which was to navigate around the forest in both day and night. Night navi su*ks!! U couldn't see anything, where u were stepping, all alone and all u could rely is the compass. I fell alot of times, and kept wondering wat the hell i were doing all alone at night in the forest...... Its a shity feelin man.

Leadership Field Camp on tues to wed, an experience i would never ever 4get. First day was navigation all around hills, follow by a mission to capture a waterwork with other section defending and night navigation again. 2nd day was hell. We had to cassavack a 75kg dude on the stretcher, all the way to our checkpoint 1km away. After that we cassavack him all the way back, with many turns and twists. We were threatened not to put down him, so we cassavacked him rotatingly. Everyone was like pushing each other, and more importantly themselves even before the halfway mark... Once, i had 2 standard field packs, 2 SBO with 4 dummy mag, 1 signal set, 2 SAR 21 rifles on and still managed to run for a distance. U probably can feel yourself flying after putting all this down. At the end, people was whining, close to tears, shag to max and i nearly collipsed... hahah first time in my life had i felt so shag out man. Whole body was aching allover till now sia

Had u did before running up and down a 4 storeys building about 6 times, follow my 200 counts of 4 jumping jacks? YES 200 counts!!~ haha almost everyone had cramps the next day. Our staff sergeant is a ranger trained, and rumour said he was also a SOF. Anyway his PT training was madness, and next wk will be worst. Every delta warriors will have 6 packs during commissioning, lol.

Today was bookout day, did our 6km Endurance Training Run at 6.45am.... crapz. Beside tat, nothing much to do before bookout. Hopefully can rest well this one day or 2 for the upcoming week. Boro vs Arsenal match later. Muz watch
