Field Camp ar! Lagi Worst!
Due to demand... well... here's the entry... I'll try to keep it as short as possible... haha... due to the fact, i dun have much time oredi...
7 days of field camp was quite slacky for the first 5 days... it's slacky due to the fact 6th and 7th day is siong! 1st day, quite bo liao la... 8km route march first (hell), coz normal field pack about 20kg heavy oredi... but we added alot of personal stuff, pricky heat, etc la... the fieldpack is extra heavy... after that, we pitch barsar (pitch tent la)... then some lecture in the field and dinner... End of day 1
day 1 night rain! dotz... my buddy is totally wet and shivering... while i'm half wet... nvm... that's not the worst anyway...
day 2 training, can't remember much la... just simply muddy and dirty la...
day 3 training, can't remember much too... just simply muddy and dirty again... but this time round, we get the chance to fire blanks. meaning fire our rifle with bullets that have the BANG sound and light flash at the front of the rifle... quite fun in a sense... then route march to another place... hell again, coz of the field pack and the tireness after 4 days... then slp cowboy style (slp in the open with groundsheet on the ground only)
day 4, no much training... technical break day (no training day la), we get to bath for the first time outfield WITH 1 PAIL OF WATER... previous day only powder bath... think that's about all
day 5, test day... test on stuff we learn from day 1... quite fun oso... get to execute some of the drills we learn as thou we are in a real situation... but well... one of the drill, we are forced to prone down due to a nearby grenade (fake) explosion, and SPLASH! wet and muddy!
day 6, route march again, slightly lighter, coz we throw all our unnecessary stuff into our resup bag (resupply bag that come every 2 or 3 days, come in a vehicle, sent back in a vehicle)... then here come the real hell! digging of trench... dig for like 2 hours... then it rains like nobody business... force to evacuate... 1 hour later, rain stop, back and continue digging... but b4 digging, we need to empty the swimming pool, i mean the trench... it's flooded with rainwater! DOT DOT DOT! at first the top layer of soil is lossen... but the underlayer becomes muddier and heavier... anyway, the whole place become very very muddy la... and we are suppose to slp there la... inside the hole... haiZ... before lights out, it RAIN HEAVILY AGAIN LA! and we have to wear jacket and slp in the hole... luckily, my trench was dig properly, coz i dig deep enough and lucky that the water can pass through easily... so mine wasn't flooded again! but lots of "wu tong ke gui" soldier have to stand beside their trench and get themselve wet in the rain... lol... after an hour or so, I'm so kapo, that I invited my section mates to come to my trench and take a seat... haha... then we sit around my trench, resting/slping...
after some time, it gets so cold most of us are shivering... then we decided to burn solid fuel since we have lots of it la... coz the solid fuel given is more than enough lor... anyway, we dun need it anymore... so we started a mini camp fire (illegally, coz we are not allowed to... but anyway, everyone did it)
day 7 morning, have to cover the stupid hole... simply, we can't manage to cover the hole totally coz it's muddy, we are tired, the surrounding is still dark, the ground seems level yet the hole is only half filled (coz we walk around in the night, and step the muddy pile of "extra" soil into the ground...) nvm la... then after that, we need to go throu some exercise/mission... that live rounds are used... we need to crawl about 70m to the finishing line! after that exercise, we are totally full of sand... all the pockets full of sand and stuffs la...
OVERALL, the camp is to get yourself dirty and muddy...
