I'm back! Survived 7 days out in the field... Got to say it ain't too bad. Well, I'm in a welfare company so naturally field camp would be very much more fun and relaxed. Got introduced to section tactics and firing movements. It ain't easy at all, unlike what you see in the movies. You're sweating and you're hot, there are insects everywhere and you'll run out of breath running from cover to cover. The food was bad too, ok la... not too bad. We had combat rations. Our food came in the form of pasta and rice sealed in vacuum packs. Got to squeeze the stuff out to eat it. We moved from one location to another. We went to rubber plantations and oil palm plantations, typical Malaysian-type environments. We had to route march there and it was extrememly tiring heaving a fucking big field pack on your back. On the last day, we went to the reclaimed land. That place was beautiful. Where in Singapore could you find a large expanse of land with absolutely no buildings in sight? Not to mention the free airshows (courtesy of Asian Aerospace 2004) and fresh air that we got. Sometimes i felt as if i was in an adventure camp, hardly tough at all... Oh yes did i mention that our company got two baths during our 7 day camp? Haha, no other company has such a thing... Savant at 2/27/2004 09:37:00 pm ;
