--Outfield--
Day 1, after all the tossing the fastcraft(boat) did to us,
and about 5km march in FBO, meaning our rifles,
field pack and webbing, we begun setting up our bashas.
We had to also dig a knee deep drain around the basha,
for drainage of rain-water, so we wouldn't be
flooded when it rains.
After that was lunch.
Combat rations.
It actually wasn't as bad as I heard and thought it would be,
espescially the dessert pack, haha. It's pretty good.
Next was IFC lesson, Individual Field Craft.
As the title suggests, it's all about the stuffs we should
know and do out on the field.
Day 2, 5bx(basic excercises) in the morning,
proceeded on to the granade assault course
to pratice for the live granade throw the next day.
More IFC.. Oh ya, we had to put on camo the whole day.
Day3, day of the granade live throw! OC-sir gave us fresh
rations that day, not bad... All went well except a having a few
blinds(granades that din blow up, and we had to wait half an hour
before blowing it up manually with explosives for every blind)
and one guy from the company(my platoon) who threw the granade
too near, and got confined for four hours for safety breach O_0.
In overall, my platoon out of the three, did best for the throw
by blowing up our target board... haha. Our PC(platoon commander)
was pretty happy.
Well, the remainder four days was basically filled by IFC lessons,
IFC tests, road marches, and trench digging(most tirring besides
getting whacked in Full-Battle-Order)... Oh yea, not to mention
the frequent visits by the wild boars, countless biting ants,
turnouts in the middle of the night, and commanders
constantly trying to steal our rifles to get us confined. O_0-
About 9pm of the last day, we got back to camp,
sent in our arms, and caught up with the lack of sleep...
The whole of the first day after camp, was rifle
and cleaning of stores... It seriously took us all day.
And here i am, booked out, and booking in tomorrow.
Have loads of smelly uniform to wash & dry...
nitE.
Sometimes in order to go fast,
we have to slow down....
Then again, i ask myself:
Why was the flame encased in ice so thick?
What was it that froze a flame so wild?
Now that it is frozen, was it for the better?
Or was it for the worse?
