Attained Nirvana...
Finally back to civilisation after spending a few days++ with nature. Overall, i think it was quite an eye opener, never really been to the heart of a forest and slept there.
Day 1 was fucking shag for me. The 8km march really took alot out of me, i don't know about others, but the first few clicks were the worst of my life. Maybe partly because i got a super bad cough and sorethroat right at the beginning, but it was really really terrible. At the end of the march i was fucking shag already, therefore building a simple basha became a very big task for me and my buddy, who was coping with a 39 degrees fever as well.
Pull the basha stick, 1 comms cord broke, then another 1 broke, and another 1 and another 1, AND its suppose to be unbreakable. Then leopard crawl here and there, build again, then by that time i seh already, so i fall out.
After introducing us to the area and everything, next task was to dig drainage. Although i was dizzy, still lan lan bo bian, since my buddy was at medic, i did my best to dig out a decent drainage, which turned up to be not that bad as there was a fucking big rain soon after, and the tent didnt get wet.
After that learn more stuff regarding movement in a section and etc etc etc. The last day was applying our stuff to real life situation, which was quite shag, but interesting at the same time, since you have to use your brain to analyse the situation and see how you want your team to engage the enemy.
4th day packed up, and everything on the tonner, and we marched to our new oil palm plantation. We digged our cell scrape there, i think i took about 6 hours. The soil is fucking hard, had a damn bloody hard time to be honest, and with a little help from 1 of my bro, completed it.
5th day was urban training, how to scan and clear and storm rooms, very interesting and more practical in our Singapore terrain. Then we have this operation where we move in platoon with each section having an objective. Mine was to secure a building, then provide cover for the others to storm the other buildings.
1/3 alert at night was quite fun, where 1/3 of the people around you must be awake at all times. Lying there looking at the stars, thinking about alot of stuff, a good time to reflect and relax.
The last day was the best, board the 5 tonner and left the area, super happy at that point of time. Then we went for the last highlight of our field camp, the Battle Innoculation Course, where we have to leopard crawl for what seems like eternity, with machine gun using live rounds firing above us, and some thunder flash to simulate grenade being thrown at us. At first it was like chiong arh.... Then after reaching the 2nd barbwire and backcrawl through it, I already gg.
The last stretch was the worst, since on the whiteboard it was just 2cm from wire to trench, but on actual scale, its like more than 20m. Crawl and crawl and crawl....so near yet so far, but of course, i reached my destination eventually and ended the whole course.
After that was time to go home, super high also. However had to clear and clean alot of our stuff, but then just glad that its over.
Tomorrow will have the 12km route march, hope i can complete it, i think its more of a mental test for route marches, then we have the sit test, so is like another mini field camp, oh well just see how it goes.
