BSLC Week6/7 exactly 2 weeks since i last blogged.
had 4days3nites field camp from 30/7 to 2/8. learnt lots of stuff.. infantry stuff.. which i shall not elaborate cos those drills are quite impractical. =S there was a sudden heavy downpour during the 1st nite when we were all preparing to sleep.. suay sia... it was so sudden that we dun even have time to get into the basha even though we were just beside it.. .. result? drenched! luckily OC was nice so we got to sleep in the small training shed and i couldnt even fully straightened my legs... causing me to get serious muscleache the next morning.
wat i hate about field camp was that i had to carry the SAW(weapon) around. it's long and heavy... irritating! and running with it in the morning was tourturous.
1/8 aug. my bday. i will always remember this day where i spent my 19th bday.... i will also remember i learnt quick attack and saw live trip flare on this day =) and i made lots of wishes when the trip flares lighted up the surroundings at nite... lol...
2/8 returned from fieldcamp
3/8 learnt some 1st aid stuff throughout the day. plus the 1st nites off and i went out with my sectionmates to jurong point.
4/8 section live firing. this time i carried SAR21 instead of SAW. it was a memorable exp doing live firing together with my friends. though i must admit that i was rather scared. scared that some1 might accidentally fire off track. cos we did fire and movement where we had to fire and move forward with live rounds! as the 2nd LAW.. i was the sharpshooter also.. so my weapon had 3X scope.. woottt....... i also had to carried the 9kg matador on my back while moving... ;=S
5/8 cant remember wat i did... but we got our 2nd nites off.... this nites off was extremely long... the book in timing was 0800hrs the next morning.
6/8 had SOC... failed to clear low rope after like 5 tries... lol....... though i was the 1st in the detail to reach the obstacles...
7/8 had SOC again.. this time i passed... with a timing of 8min49s. today we had our 3rd nites off(within the 10days)
8/8 booked out in the evening to go to Chevrons.
9/8 national day
10/8 off-in-lieu
week 8- field camp plus urban ops week 9- field camp in tekong(grandslam) week 10- 28km route march until next morning---> POP
tt's all ... it's about time i return to the forest... hopefully i dun go aslc =)
