Ah yes. 2nd weeks down; 4 more days to go! (: This should be a long post - caution!
MondayMonday we went to Pasir Laba Camp. That was one cool day! Haha. I was expecting to see the people going for Camp Pinnacle, but didn't see them exactly, with the exception of the morning when they are falling in only - we were on the bus then.
That morning we went to have an IMT for SAR 21 first. Cool! They never zero the weapon, so our shots was like crap, and they say we shoot lousy. Bleh! How can shoot lousy with the scope? My lane was way off and they gave me a re-shoot! xP Well, my results for the re-shoot was much better - almost full marks! xD Then we went to the Infantry Gunnery and Tactical Simulator (IGTS). Damn cool. There's the IMT for the Matador (anti tank weapon), General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), and M203 Grenade Launcher. I tried GPMG and M203, never got a chance to try out Matador, probably cause i was lazy to go try again. xP It's really like the real one, except for it was shot in an air conditioned room. LOL. We had demonstrations for the SPIKE, MILAN ATGM and the Mortar weapons as well.
Afternoon we went to the live firing area way inside. We watch the live firing exercise by the 1st Commando Battalion - at close proximity! xD It was damn cool and the sound was deafening! That's the reason for ear plugs. Thanks Yong Liang again! xD
We got a chance to shoot 1 live round with the classified weapon called P90, with the silencer on. Well, since i can find it stated so clearly on Wikipedia, it ain't so classified eh. My shot was so near the 5 points bulls eye lor! xD
TuesdayMorning had a lecture by Retired Colonel Png. Woah he's fantastic. He's top for many of the course in Army and became a Colonel at 38. He's currently the Vice President of ST Electronics. I must say, he is really a good lecturer. xD Afternoon we had the DISC profiling again. There's a slight change since i last took it - more to the quiet side. The lecturer is a magician. His tricks was damn nice, just like his lecture! xD Something unpleasant happened after that, but i shall not comment. How hard is it to keep quiet?
WednesdayWednesday had leadership lecture again by Colonel Png. Afternoon was Change Of Command Parade. Well, their rehearsals were like crap, but the parade itself was much better, as usual. I was at the stretcher there. At least i ran with the stretcher and tried my part to save a guy that suddenly got heat exhaustion. 1 life save! xD
ThursdayWe had situational test. Well, the games were quite new and fun, most importantly can learn quite some leadership skills. Then was lecture on coaching, by yet another Retired Colonel that i don't exactly know his name though.
FridayLectures in the morning again. Then before lunch was the selection for Parade Commander for our Passing Out Parade on the 12th. I passed the first round of selections and it was lunch. Afternoon was lectures again. After the lectures ended, it was the 2nd round of selection, including uniform check. I can't believe i passed that as well. Sir Hariz was suppose to select 2 from our syndicate since each syndicate is suppose to have 2 to the final selection, but he couldn't choose between us so i'm in 1 of the 3 that made it to the last selection! xD The other 2 were Haiman and Fitri. I almost made it for the last selection. The sir said we 3 can beat the others from the rest of the syndicates already, and i feel honoured about that. Go Cubers! xD I was ranked 2nd out of the 3 at first but sadly dropped to 3rd and got kick out because i didn't pronounce my Kawalan Kehomatan properly. Aww... The sir said if the reserve cannot make it, then he would put me in. At least we still have 2 Cubers in the final 4 to go for the appointments of Parade Commander, Parade 2IC, reserved Parade Commander, and reserved Parade 2IC. All the best to them! At least i made it that far. If the any of the other 2 non-Cubers didn't get kick out, i am going fully for Contingent Commander! Wish me luck! xD
SaturdayWent back to HQ for air syllabus test and saikang work. The test was relatively easy, and should be able to pass despite the passing percent to be 75%. After that was saikang work at the aeromodelling centre. It was really fun i must say, even though it's saikang. Water! Haha. Major Gary find us to do push ups with him, strictly on voluntary basis. Well, i joined him along with the others. Quite easy since we did 30 and recover and 30 again and so on. He say want to do until 200, but no idea why he stopped at 110 i think. Weak liao - feeling the strain; maybe because he did slowly and i held halfway sometimes to wait for his count. Must train up again! I want hit back my chin ups standard and go pass it! xD
After that slack at syndicate room until it was time for rehearsal for our POP Ceremony performance. Well we had fun alright - laughing around. Our POP is on the 12th of December. Anyone want come? Let me know okay? xD There's a free shuttle bus service to bring you all in and out of the camp at yio chu kang MRT station.
True communication begins by listening.My post on communication was proven right by the lectures. xD
