POP~~~ CPL Lim reporting....

Actually this post is not written on this date... it's written on 300805 morning.... because i haven't been blogging for the past few days.... then the entries comfirm very long.. so i guess it's better to seperate out the dates... easier....

Oh yar... in case you are wondering... but i think some know already.... i on block leave now.. till 310805.....

By the way... on this day.. i comfirm no energy or will i be in the clear mind to blog.... thanks to this week's activities.....

Firstly.. we had 2 major activities together.... Exercise "Nutcracker" and the 32km graduation route march..... so it's like... WoA~~~~

For those who knew what the activities are.... you will know it is Very vErY shag to do them in a week.....

Forthose who dono.... go and ask those who know... those in SISPEC one... unless they are from Delta company... because trainees from that company most likely won't shag one... maybe they got to watch movie during their nutcracker.... i dono~~~

Another option... read on....
Our exercise "N"(short form for nutcracker) was on Monday... straight after we book in... then we dig a shell- script and fire trench for 3 days 2 nights.... without sleep....
Other than that...we had to do defence exercise in our harbour base.... reinforcement drills...

For me and my buddy... we completed our own shell-script.... but our fire trench only up to above knee abit only.... because one thing is..... our area got alot ALOT of rocks... and also we taller... and also...we abit laggy also...

For the first night... we dug through the night... but slowly.... then started tot ake turns to dig... dig abit.. sleep abit.... then dig again....
Personally... it was very tiring.... and not to mention that my buddy went into deep slumber at around 0400 plus...i let him rest more since he dugged quite abit earlier on... becuase i was slower in my shell script..... so me and my section leader took turns digging.. because he need to dig only a shell script... so come to help out....
Actually at that point i already tired out already... but knida forced myself to go throught the motion... keep digging....

Think at around 0500 close to 0600.... i couldn't hear anymore digging sound elsewhere.... and so... go with the majority... me and the section leader went to sleep as well... haha....
zzzZZzzZZzzz.... "Why are you all sleeping?? Dig finsh already is it?".... the powerful voice from my PWO woke us all up.... he was scolding some people further front... and the rest of us just woke up... and continued digging....

Then for the 2nd dayt afternoon...we had some break... by doing defence drills.... (not much of a break.... just a break from the boring digging routine)... we proned at our shell script for so long.... i began to drift in and out of slumber.... so tired....
Then do do do.... then went back to dig... then at night did another one again.... cannot see another thing... but cannot move... then the stupid mosquitoes keep irritating me....
I think the mosquioes there are a very irritating bunch... every night... without fail... they will come and buzz around my ear.... getting very irritated at them... they don't just do that for awhile... it's like the whole night.... -___-
But can't see them.... so no choice lor.... endure....

Luckily for us... our PC decided to call it a day at around 2200.... so we began to cover back after his AAR and interview..... yeah~~~
For the covering back...e verybody damm fast... did quite a slip-short work as well... then all went to sleep....
My group slept at around 0100 plus if i am not wrong....

And so... next morning our PWO woke us up again.... and went around inspecting... and of course.... all kena screwed... haha.... then continue to cover up again... then ok liao... ate breakfast.. and ta-da... back to company line...

But that's not all leh... go back.. have to wash up all the stores... spent the whole day with the stuffs... then still got what stupid survey.... everybody so tired out... how to do... all like anyhow do one... then still have to clean weapon..... we didn't have any rest... and i haven't bath for the whole day until the night time.... where everybody chiong cleaning all their personal stores... and bath...

That describes our Exercise "Nutcracker".... mentally tiring...

Then the next day... our activities were qutie ok.. some lecture stuffs.... then got ICCT... quite fun.. learnt the arm locks and stuffs... at least no need to slam our body anymore.... or else no need to walk 32km le....

And so... finally... the big day came... on Friday morning itself we had the POP rehearsal... quite tiring... because most of us are practising with our real field pack... unlike some smart alexes who put newspaper inside... -_-... the Sergeants also abit no brain one leh... if the rehearsal is going to require us to stay there for so bloody long.. like 2 hours plus close to 3... why didn't they inform us??? At least we can lighten the load or something....
Standing with FBO for so long is not very good leh.... still got 32km to tahan leh...

Anyway...at least after lunch.... they gave us the whole afternoon to rest.... And then soona fter dinner... the 32km route march kicked off....
And from this experience... i realised it is possible to sleep while walking... at a few points... i was so tired out that i fell asleep.. while walking... and still walking somemore... but then suddenly just woke up again... abit regret didn't bring MP3 along...
A very good indication of how long we walked.... when we walked to BMTC.. the recruits are having lights out.... then we march around... then went to BMTC again... they finished eating breakfast liao.... then we walk back to SISPEC for our parade....
And during the parade... we have to stand quite long.... while waiting for a COL to come... but lucky our instructors told us to lighten our load before going for the parade... and i can even fall asleep while standing.... Woa.....

And finally... got the Corporal rank pasted on our shoulder le....
Finally.... got something on the shoulder... now higher rank then the driver liao... haha....

But haiz... that also mean one thing... no more OCS liao.... my company only got 3 cross over....my platoon none... my platoon best can't make it because his SOC not good... his grade B.. i got B-... SOC timing thrash him... and they didn't want to choose me...
Oh well... fate ba... my Dad and brother also Sergeants... so i guess i join them also good... a family of Sergeants.... haha....

The well.. got our posting... i going abck ASLC... my own platoon... own section... own bed...
Also good.. no need to change anything...

But the very stupid and irritating thing happened... the company 2IC want everyone (including those staying back at their own bed) to bring all the stuffs down.... -_-"
HELLO~~~~ we are staying at the same place... bring down for WHAT???

And guess what... after we bring down the stuffs... climbing up and down the stairs with all our heavy load.... my PWO just check with us our section and bed level... then tell us can bring up liao..............................................................................................................................................

ARRGGGGHHH~~~~~~ i think this is teh real difference between an OCS trained officer ... and the warrant officers...... really no brain man.....
Anyway... my PWO also apologise to us after that... because he also know it is brainless... but have to follow orders... so no choice....

After some briefing, and packing.... it's time for us to book out... around 1600 plus... then i went WS (White Sands) to walk around... trying to get some VCD back home to watch... or else this long weekend nothing to do.... or so i thought....
Bought "Ghost Train".... thought it will be quite a scary movie.... but well... it turns out that it sucks.... anyone want the disc.. i can give it away now.... sucky not scary movie....

Oh yar... and also so qiao... met DJYM there too.... then talk abit... then i also went off le... tired...

And after reaching home... laze around watching TV... tried to wash my stuffs but too shag liao... so in the end just soak some of the dirty clothes... then KO liao... next morning then wash...

That's it for this day...
