sispec BSLC completed my 1st week in sispec. life here is definitely tougher than bmt.
went to my new camp on monday and i am once again posted to the F company. but it's called foxtrox instead of falcon. heard that there was no intake for foxtrox for the past few batches so nobody knows whether life here is tough anot. after the sgt told us our platoon, i went to my bunk and the saw gilbert(my ex-platoon mate). then realised that he is my buddy too. haha...
for this week, we attended lectures(mostly on safety), self-studied and learn how to handle SAR21, SOC, ippt.. and more.
i got sliver for ippt cos my running was 2second short of the gold timing. the rest of the stations were gold standard. i believe that i will have to stay for training on this coming sat just cos of 2seconds.
i did guard duty on thursday. we reported late for it cos we had ippt earlier on. by right my duty was supposed to starts at 7pm to 9pm, however the briefing ended at 8plus. so the superiors were rushing us to start our duties. as the 1st pair of prowlers, we did not know the route and checkpoints at all, and there was no1 to bring us around. i was holding the walkie talkie and had to communicate with the guardroom. i have to say that everything was quite disorganised. my next duty at 1am was better cos my platoon mate and i walked slowly and spent 1hr plus to complete 1 round. there was this irritating turn out drill whereby the siren sounded in the middle of the nite and everyone has to chiong out of bunk with LBV, draw rifle, bayonet, ammo. nonetheless, it was a nice experience.
2 special things about my coy is that there are gers, and all the 9 of them are in my platoon. and my OC banned vulgarities. think these are qutie uncommon in ns.
expecting another tough week. bb~!
