i survived the 7 days of hell. actually it wasn't that bad, in fact, i really enjoyed it, if not for the food and toilet problem, which became a big problem by the third day. the trainings held in the forest were not as tough as i thought it would be. the food was worse that i expected, powder bath was kinda new and i sort of got over it after the first day.
our officers actually allocate 2 hrs of tekan session everyday. first day was quite okie since we just got there and don't have enough time to do most of the punishments or what they call 'progressive training'. second day, the whole company didn't fall in on time due to the lack of light to prepare our stuff so ya, from 7am to 9am, we were in either push ups, jumping jacks or sit up position. overall, it was still bearable. this went on for the entire day until someone vomitted. we had camou on and off every 1 min interval and after that, our tents (barshas - dunno how to spell) had to be dismantled and set up again in another area within 20 mins. after second day, things went back to normal because all of us woke up at 5am and finished our stuff at 6am which leave us with half an hour to play around with. since there were nothing left for the sergeants to scold us, they just tell us frankly that we have to finish at least 40 pushups before we can have our admin time until training starts. anyway, being garang, we did more than expected as usual and in return, we had more admin time. due to the rain, our admin time got extended so total we had 1 hr break. no one was allowed to go out of the tent so i just laid there and took a short nap.
lunch was crappy, i held my breath. dinner was alot better. we had maggi mee. finished 2 packets. the next day, we won some competition so we were allowed to have maggi mee again. too bad we finished it the night before so ya. no choice but to suck thumb and eat the combat rations. i ate like biscuits to sustain my hunger. section training was retarded. we learnt how to use the range card and after that it was talking cock session with Alfred (platoon seageant). that was the first time i talked so much rubbish with him. half an hour later, 2 indians did a Hindi dance with the trees in the forest, it was amusing.
we moved to another camp site by day 3. there were alot of giant grasshoppers and centipedes around oumy area. i digged a drainage system and poured some prickly heat powder to ward off the centipedes. at night, one of the commanders tried to steal my rifle. thankfully, i was smart enough to put the rifle strap in between my legs as well as in between the 3rd button of my long 4 so ya, he failed.
day 4 was our welfare day. had fresh rations the entire day, got to bathe with water and night walk was cancelled. i got to lead my section during the fire movements as well as crossing of the danger areas. did it nicely and i'm really proud of it. heh. "ICE" "SPIDER""ORANGE""BACK TO TRACK" .....
day 5 was another section training with test. at night, Hazwan took out guitar and gathered all of us. weiyi led most of the songs. he's a really talented singer. can sing those super high pitching song. oh ya, sang bu tong peng you and qing fei de yi. both rocks.
day 6 change location again. suppose to dig trench. i was like 3/4 done after 12pm. almost 2 times faster than the rest. at that time, the weather was frigging hot and i used up most of my energy. felt really giddy and got this feeling that i was going to faint. tried to tahan awhile until after lunch. couldn't hold on much longer so i reported sick. temperature was like 1 degree celcius higher than the rest. took tunnel back to see MO. it was pure slacking after that. my fever went down after i took a bath back at company line, then i was like what's there to report when i have no sickness at all. my friends then suggested that i report my old injury, just to cover up cuz i can't come back to company line when i'm not even sick. the stupid doctor gave me an MC which allows me to
- not wear shoes
- not run, march or jump
- not carry heavy load
for 7 days. it was so unnecessary. i need only like 3 days. because of this status, i missed out on BIC, which stands for some crawling test that i have to go through today. oh well, its nice to slack and eat good food. i slept like 9.5 hrs yesterday and got time to wash all my clothes, SBO, helmet and all other stuff that i brough fro field camp. while everyone booked out with the gigantic duffer bag, i used my field pack.
overall, i think field camp rocks apart from the toilet!!
