Saturday, February 18, 2006 Back to home, back from army, back from field camp. . I'm still surviving in camp, but army life still sucks. . .7 days of field camp, 7 days outfield. . . It's just like the survivor in television, we survive on combat rations, we bathe with powder, we go through the combat trainings. . . The first two days was disastrous. . The weather was playing game with us and it rained heavily for the whole day and night with brief moments of hot sun in between. . . Many of us suffered from heat rash as a result of such unpredictable weather. . Training in the heavy downpour, getting ourselves thoroughly drenched and then sleeping in the cold rainy night. . . The living conditions was horrible. . The site of our basha was semi-flooded and we had to sleep in the muddy and mosquitoes-infested ground. . . Next, the combat ration that we fed on almost tasted like dog food, few people like it and the worst of all was pontay rice. . It tasted so bad that i almost wanted to throw it away on my first bite. . While our lives have been miserable enough, we were made to go through punishments from our sergeants because some jokers didn't buried their faeces after shitting. . . These jokers did not learn their lesson and we went through a second round of tekan session and this time, because one fellow shitted without even bothering to dig a hole and another went shitting on the barbed wire. . . It's quite ridiculous and sad to see such things happening on a jc batch. . Through point to point from the different camp sites we went, we had to walk, in full battle order. . that is, a field pack, a rifle and a webbing that weighed about 20kgs or more in total. . . Walking through distances like 8 to 12 kilometres with this was devastating, especially to skinny people like me. . . It was valentine day on the second last day of my field camp. . . While couples were out there in the civilian world celebrating the occasion, we found ourselves out in the wild, digging trenches. . It's an extremely physical straining activity and i will definitely not want to do it a second time. . . You digged the trench and at night, you slept in it. . . Sleeping in the trench itself was an experience, it feels like you are sleeping in your own grave. . . These were the hard times, but we were lucky. . as in i'm in a welfare company. . and there were pretty much sweet moment too. . On the third night of the camp, we were given the privilege to sleep in concrete ground in our second camp site, the following day, we were allowed to have a shower. . . There were also several occasions where we were given fresh rations. . . It's hard to imagine how happy we can get when we were granted such welfares after days of surviving in hostile conditions. . . Nevertheless, after all these sweet and hard times, i was glad that i've managed to went through these. . Yet it's not gonna be the last time. . . SIT test will be up next on monday, 3 more days outfield, 3 more days of suffering in the wild. . . but well, i've every reason to be optimistic. . After sit test, life will hopefully be easier. . . It will be less than 3 more weeks to POP and i will have every reason to look forward to it. . . |
