First I would like to apologise to those who called or messaged me. I did not reply you as last week I fell very sick and my phone is giving me stupid problems.
After my range, the night of book out. I had high fever, poped panadols over the 2 days. The highest temp was 39.2 deg. On Sunday morning went to see the doctor and gave me 2 days MC. Called company and they told me to book in on Tuesday morning.
Tuesday morning took taxi down and reached company and my fever still had not subsided. On the ferry, saw many senior ranking officers, civilians working there and even a female Sergant Major. 0730 reached my company, went to report to my platoon sergant. Went to my bunk and changed to admin and fall in to see the MO. Waited about 2 hours before leaving the MO and was given 3 days attend B SIAN ar have to do sai gang. On that afternoon missed my 2nd 4km route march. But also had 12 attend Bs with me so not depressing. The medicine is so drowsy and yet you cannot rest in your bunk. On friday which was the last day of my status had to resume all trainings. On the day we book in our platoon got a total of 13 attend Bs and 5 attend Cs. Section 4 seems the weakest as they had the most people falling sick. On Friday suay suay again had to pack the combat rations for my section mates. There are rations, maggie mee and accessory pack consisting of solid fuel, tissue, packets of drinks and biscuits.
On that book out went home and rested. Sunday book in sian, because that night have to pack for field camp.
Monday was the last time we had fresh food. After breakfast carried our damn heavy field pack, sbo, helmet and rifle to fall in. Everyone were sad but also excited. 8++ marched to take the tonner. Reached our camp site and were told to go setup our "sleeping areas". Afer that we went for lessons and had our first combat ration lunch. My lunch was "Mutton Curry Pasta" name is nice but it tasted yucky and also the meat inside also don't look cooked. After our training the sun set, it was time for dinner and powder bath time.
Powder bath - def: A type of bath wherer you strip to only your undies and powder your whole body, including face hair and groin areas till white like a ghost.
Powder bath was fun though i find it still dirty to sleep. After our powder bath and the "E spring squeeze trigger" its time to sleep. Sleeping is difficult. First had to lay our ground sheet as "bedsheet". Then we used our SBO as pillow, and had to sling my rifle and leopard crawl into my "bed". Over the field camp I did not slept much till the last night till I just drop dead without hugging my rifle.
Second day, woke up at 6am had to tie up all our barangs barangs and bring our rifle and water bottle to do 5BX. IMAGINE 5BX in the forest All the half left down on the slope, hands pressed on stones or roots of trees and sommore in long 4. After 5BX was breakfast. Normally during my field camps, my breakfast and lunch I just drink water. After breakfast had to put on camo and get ready for lessons. This night we HAD NIGHT TRAINING ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Imagine walking in the night unable to see your front, your teammates and fear of getting yourself injured or lost. Or frightened by stupid wild boars, made by our sergants. That night was very tiring after training had to powder bathe in total darkness and wearing slippers. WE ARE NOT TO ON TORCHLIGHTS.
On thursday we got a test for our training. Training that day was very shagged almost fall out. Our test determines 4 sections from the company that would leave the campsite on friday earlier. In the end we did not win section 2 got to play enemy and go back company and BATHE , SHIT AND SLEEP. To add the realistic of the course, we loaded our guns with blanks, damn fun get to fire. Sad thing we cannot get to go back earlier on friday.
Thursday night, one of the PCs organised a campfire for the company. Our OC and Sergant major were also present. Different platoons had their own skit. Most of the skit were same, impersonating our sergants and PCs how they punished us from enlisted to now. However one platoon were rather creative, they sang a song about route march and field camp. The funny thing was, the fire was buring out soon after the first performance. Everyone enjoyed the campfire and it was a memorable field camp.
On thursday took many photos took some photos during our powder bathe (Censored) LOL.
Friday BOOK OUT DAY! Had to go for final test again, this time loaded my rounds I was carrying 200 rounds in my sbo. we got 3 man fall out andi wasplaying the part of shadow yesterday. So today all the shadows are involved and our sect commander as group IC. Nobody seen a more garang sergant than our sergant. He applied camo helmet and chiong sua with us.
My utmost respect to my section commander 3SG Shah.
At our sniper drill, my poor mates had to excav our sergant while i clear the path. At the end of the course our sergant was the most shag. After the course, was the most fun but shitty got to fire all the blanks over a thousand rounds. At around 12++ we packed our FBO and board the tonner BACK!
Reached company, fall in, wash boots go back bunk and change to garrison wear most relax. Adminn attire without shoes. Cleaned our rifle and after that do area cleaning, got a standby by our Sergant Major. He commented our toilet, ( I was part of the toilet team) and praised our platoon and gave us canteen break. Canteen break is a taboo to obese recruits. We got to eat junk food and soft drinks LOL.
Highly recommended food
Canteen above e-mart the roti john is fucking nice.
At around 2100 we fall in for book out. Sad things some people are to serve confinement as they got their rifles stolen or caught littering during field camp. They can book out on Saturday 8am.
We really annoyed Alpha and Charlie company by marching past them and shouting "BOOK OUT DAY". Tomorrow is their parents visit, 1 more weeek to first book out.
Sian Monday first IPPT test.
