ASC Week 1
reported to my new camp on monday.. . all the ppl are splitted into 4 courses... and i got into the most xiong course... suay suay... haiss...
anyway i will be gg thru the 3rd Artillery Specialists' Course(3rd ASC). it's 13 weeks long. so i will only pop on start of dec (cant wait to pop!!). the weapon i will specialise in is FH88 155mm Howitzer. it's a bloody big artillery gun... not those small small kind in ndp.
the bunk is in a very bad condition.. small and dirty... cant believe it... cos upgrading works are in progress.. every1 are shocked to see the bunk condition.. =(
plus the commanders in my course are the fiercest and strictest.. makes me feel worse than a recruit sometimes.. and i start to miss my times in bmtc and sispec.
the 1st day and 2nd day were full of shit job... moving of stores here and there... plus i am th store IC.. wtf...... okay okay.. slightly better than toliet cleaner bah...
i really have a big culture shock in the new camp.. the fierce commanders, giving RO in a formal way, the bunk, formal water parade. .... blah blah...
the 2nd nite we had a water parade outside the bunk and we were forced to drink 1 full water bottle and every1 felt so bloated... we were punished for not filling to the brim, for moving, for not standing still on time... wtf...!
the 3rd day i was appointed as the Trainee Seargant Major(TSM) and i had to handle lots of stuff..... from admin to disipline of the coursemates to standardisation of bunk during area cleaning... plus every1 will bombard me with questions.
standby area was an exceptionally bad experience... as the TSM, i had to be responsible for everything under the sun, and i got punished for everything. i had to do pumping in the toliet, jumping jack and alternate leg thrust in the bunk. zzzzzzzzz..
on the 4th nite when i was giving the RO, i told my coursemates to pull their water bottles down.. the seargant was ridiculous as he wanted the water bottles to be in a straight line until it was very neat... wth... this kind of treatment is worse than a recruit and very unresonable.
on friday, by right my TSM job was over and a new person should take over.. but the sgt did not assign any1.. and i continued all the way until evening.. and all these nites i dun really have time at nite to do anything cos i have to do TSM report also...
hmmm.. end of bitching... i hope things will get better for the next 12 weeks... and the most stressful week for me is gone. .
ehhhh.............. plus 1 lightest artillery round weighs 43kg... heavy ones are 48kg.... =.=
