Okay okay. This is going to be a dead blog that DECOMPOSES like Mozart after he dies if i continue to let it rot. Crap.
So i was back from Air Specialist Course Phase I on Thursday, but really, i was too worn out to blog then. Haha. I went to the camp already worn out, so i only survived with panadol i think, to stop my nose from overflowing with you-know-what. xP Oh and i was the Assistant Platoon Commander (APC) of PEGASUS 3! :)
Okay i really don't know what to blog about Specialist Course. First reason is because i didn't went there as a cadet, but as a cadet officer - a trainer. Second reason is before i arrive at the camp, i was already 75% dead, so i have only faint impression about it. I think i must have look seriously horrible during the camp - like as though i was emo-ing most of the time or something. Haha. In addition to that, i did not have good sleeps during the night - on a certain night, i didn't even sleep! xP
Let's start with Monday - total chaotic. Haha. I had Wu Shu training that day, and i have to wake up feeling totally not okay. My nose was overflowing with mucus, probably because i didn't sleep well the night before. It was horrible - real horrible! After Wu shu was a rush back home to catch some less than one hour sleep, before rushing to pack my bag and off i go to book in. We trainers have to book in the night before to settle administrative matters. So we had the briefings and so on, which carried out slowly, as usual, until about 11 plus and then we got to go sleep. Thankfully we have an empty bunk for some of us to sleep, if not my nose will only get worse! But it's hot at the start. I got some rest though in the end, thanks to the rain at night, and the panadol i took. :)
First day of specialist course. Briefing in the morning, as usual. Then we were sent out to our respective duties. I was originally supposed to dispatched the cadets into platoons, but i run around instead, as the cadets that came later are going everywhere, instead of the lower parade square. I never really got to see my platoon before they were sent of to the MPH for the opening address. That's what's bad about the camp - not much time for platoon interaction with the PCs and APCs. Rest of the day was rather dry for me - going through magazine filling and then test in the afternoon for Griffin Company. Haha. I almost developed a phobia for that 'cling cling' sound when the rounds drop. Bleh. Oh and they had GSK test at night, and that's where i became useful. I am sure those from my platoon will agree with me. :) After Action Review (AAR) was conducted for trainers. It started late, and thus ended late. -.-
Second day morning was disastrous, thanks to panadol. I'm not going to mention what exactly happened though. You know means you know, if you don't, then too bad. xP Second day can say it's the most interesting day, though the visit to Singapore Discovery Centre in the morning wasn't very amusing to me - well it is to some. :) The visit to IGTS in the afternoon for Pegasus Company was much better. We trainers got the chance to familiarize ourselves with the 3 weapons, namely Matador (anti tank weapon), M203 (grenade launcher) and GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun). It's IMT only, not live firing - it ain't that good. Haha. I tried them before during 56th Cadet Officer course but this time round we can try all we want! :) I had many tries before the cadets finally came, especially Matador, since i'm put in charge of that weapon, and i did demos for many times. Oh and i originally planned to have at least some interaction on the bus, but they all chose to have their eye lids interacting with their eyeballs, so i might as well let them sleep. :) At night after they came back was airmanship test, and that was where i became useful again. Answering machine. Haha. :) Note that i only helped them with their revision, and nothing else! AAR at night as usual for the trainers, and it ended hell late.
Spent the whole night marking and remarking the airmanship test, thanks to some counting error. Well i wanted all of them to pass, so i don't mind staying up all night to recheck the marks again. :) Third day of the course was basically the usual stuff, with trainfire again in the morning for Pegasus company - "cling cling cling" of rounds again. Bleh. Oh and there was a PT test in the morning - 30 push ups in 1 minute and 30 sit ups in 1 minute - no challenge. xP After that was AAR, clean bunk, a short time for them to write APPRAISAL FOR THE OC, PC, APC and the LOGISTICS TEAM(should have told them earlier, then i won't get only descriptions of me being like an answering machine. xP), and then change to no. 3 and off they go for the passing out ceremony. Yay! Pegasus 3 got 3 out of 13 awards! xD Catholic High NCC AIR got 2 awards too! xD
Well, that probably sums up for spec course. I didn't go much into details, since i really don't remember much of the details. xP Sorry la. My mind was a little dead huh.
You got to do what you expect others to do. For that, i will. :)Do me a favour. If you guys pass by, just drop me a tag so that my tagboard won't die. :)
