Saturday, March 25, 2006 I'm finally back at home. . . The long-awaited book out day. . .Camp. . . It's so far away. . . Sungei Gedong camp, somewhere deep in Lim Chu Kang. . . A total stranger land to me. . . Everything's new. . . New system, new people, new environment. . . It took me a couple of days to adapt to the environment and system. . . As for the people there. . . There were two groups. . . One group includes me and 5 of the other guys from bmtc. . . The other belongs to those from the mono-intake. . . mainly from ite and ite nitec. . They underwent their basic military trainings there and had been there for more than two months. . . hence, they are so-called to 'old-birds' there. . . Definitely a different kinda people you see in bmtc, but i can assured that they are a nicer lot of people compared to most of the rest in bmtc. . . at least for those in my platoon. . . though sometimes i found them a little bit too rowdy. . . As for those from bmtc. . we came from the same place, and naturally, we tends to stick together. . . especially when you entered a platoon where there's no one you had previously knew. . The need to make new friend, i was the first to approach them for their conversation. . . Haha. . I never know i can be so friendly. . For the vocation, i can be considered lucky to join a support company as a driver. . I guess it's not wise to leak out what vehicle i'm driving and what kinda platoon i'm in here, in case they consider it as classified. . . But anyway, it's just better than becoming what i thought i was sent to, a trooper. . . A driver, it sounds slack. . . but so far, i haven't feel we had done anything less physical than any other people. . . Training remains the same for everyone, at least for now. . . And even if the job is slack, the battalion themselves will not give you opportunity to slack. . . A target of gold for IPPT for everyone, a 9min30sec for SOC. . . I can frankly admit that i can only do 3 chin-ups of the 12 needed for gold so far. . . And SOC. . finishing it within the bmtc passing time of 10.59secs may even be a problem, much less the targeted passing time. . . I'm almost sured to stay back during the saturday to do extra PTs. . . For this week, we had did some trainings which i felt were tough already, and yet they had called this the orientation, much more tough trainings to be expected. . . It's scary. . . 2 months of trade course marks this beginning. . . learning how to drive my vehicle with an extra task of passing the SOC within the target timing. . . We were treated like recruit throughout this period. . . the only good things are, we can book in and out in civilian attire, and we can keep our hair longer, other than that, we belongs to the class of recruit worst than bmtc. . . No mp3player, no camera phone, no snack except for plain biscuit, no use of vending machine, no use of phone before RO, sleeping before RO, a 5 and half day week etc etc etc. . . It's definitely a hell lot stricter here than bmtc. . . and the one enforcing the discipline, the CSM. . . People had said he's a bloody sadist. . . and i've got a taste of it, on thursday. . . He got me doing 40 push-ups and a run around the parade square for not greeting him. . . But well, it may has been easy, and it may not gonna be easy, but i still make it and needa make it through. . . I guess it's still important to maintain a positive attitude. . . and i'm persuading myself hard to do that. . . |
