魔鬼训练？还好啦。。。
4th to 5th of nov... the start of my two plus weeks camp.
These two days are meant for non NS personell like us. Let me give you guys a brief writeup of what i went through.
The first day
Not knowing what to wear, i arrived at the camp in PT kit. Stuffed the whole uniform n boots in my haversack. Haha. Reaching there, a female CLT was asked to teach us how to wear no. 4. Wah that took us more than half an hour i think. SO, we changed into the awfully green wear and laughed at each other. Next, we were told to fall in. Simple foot drill commands were taught to us. That was no problem for me of course, since i had four years of sec sch training. :) The funny thing was, some people were late. To make matters worse, they actually come in the wrong uniform. They came in no. 3! Imagine having to march around the whole day in no. 3, in court shoes... OMG. I thought that look hilarious. Anyway, you can jolly well imagine how the whole squad looks like, with people wearing different uniform and headdress. One word i can use: rojak.
Another skill that was taught to us was how to strip and assemble the weapon. I thought that was cool and quite fun. Ha. Believe it or not, i think i am quite good at it. Haha. : ) charging handle, retaining pin, firing pin, bolt cam pin, bolt carrier... oooh... you name it. Loading unloading of magazine n bullets.. ooh. exciting.
DAY 2
ARms drill... arms pain. They go hand in hand.
These commands are quite new to me. After all, there's no arms for girl guides. haha. Anywayz, i won't say i have mastered this. But okay lah. Would be prefect with more practice. Hopefully my arms would be conditioned to the weight by then. By the way, there's a bruise on my left palm now. haha. i hit my neighbour's weapon while marching with it. OOps.
Range card and juding distances and hand signals... ermmm theories which i think i will forget after the course.
Ooh.. camouflage. Yeah, i did it. Didn't take a picture though. The memory will always be with me. We had to do some "dunno what that was called" on the field. Take cover, then crawl on the ground, then roll here roll there. haha, i thought we really look funny. One thing i must comment. The camou very difficult to remove loh. Think i rubbed away a few layers of skin before i succeed in coming out of the toilet with a clean face. HA.
Ok i shall stop for today, more to come for the two weeks to come of course.. :) so stay tuned... !
