Today is my second time writing in my Dear's blog.
Let me start with my 2 weeks back in Reservist Life in Khatib Camp. My life in camp was boring for that 2 weeks because I can't webcam n see her online.
I reported back to Khatib Camp on the Monday before last week on 8am, did the in-processing procedure, n then have some catching up with my army friends in the canteen n went to the E-mart to purchase some items for this training & a field chair use for my heli flying. Some of my friends even joked that this chair can be used when going out wif gf for their shopping! haha. Next, we gathered in the auditorium for my Commanding Officer's opening speech bla bla bla & his expectations for this In-Camp Training. Next my Regimental & Battery Sergeant Majors begans to talk on the acceptable hairstyles, no rings, no braclets, no earings bla bla bla again. Both of them touched the briefing on the dress code from head to toe. Almost fell asleep.
The next day, wake up 6am to consume our breakfast before heading to Kranji Camp to take over the Singapore Self Propelled Howitzer Guns & some stores from the NSF battalion from 21st Singapore Artillery. A lot of waiting time was wasted in the camp. Coz all the officers went for meeting, so we spent our time dozing off in the garage. haha. At the end of the day, went back to Khatib Camp to consume our dinner before to bed.
On Wed morning, we went to Kranji Camp & took our SSPH to the training ground behind the camp for familiarization course of the Guns. Did some driving around the circuit while some waited at the training shed for their turn to drive. When the sky turned darks, we headed back to Khatib Camp again. We had an early night because we got to take IPPT the next morning.
On Thurs morning, after breakfast, everyone was eagered & ready for the IPPT. I was determined to clear my IPPT coz I had not clear my IPPT in this year's window, so can use this opportunity to clear it. We headed to the centre for our 4 static stations before heading to the track to commerce on the 2.4km run. As we was lining up at the start line for the flag off, the Cat 1 siren went off, n everybody was ushered back to the podium. In my mind, I wanted to finish this test because I was already 3/4 done wif my test already. If the run was not completed, the whole test was considered uncompleted n I have to repeat the whole test again before my birthday in Maju Camp just because of the bad weather. Nevertheless, we waited for abt half an hour b4 the the sky clears & we were able to finish up our test. The good news was I passed my IPPT but the bad news was I was 8 secs away from the Sliver award!! $100 just flew away because of the 8 secs late.............sianz............Not enough training, must train harder!
The actual outfield exercise started from the following Monday to Wednesday. The weather was hot n dusty in Sungei Gedong Training area. My friend still said he read the newspaper & it claimed thunderstorm in the next 3 days, but no rain at all lor! Also no toilet to bath n relieve ourselves for that 3 days, so have to 'ren'. Nothing much to comment on the 3 days training coz these are the basic skills & drills we did while we were actived back in the NSF time. But something strange happened on the 1st night. At ard 10.30, most of us were preparing to sleep while a few bunch of us were talking behind our guns. Suddenly, we heard something or somebody screaming 'ah....ah......ah....ah', not the sound of crows but high pitched sound, it was veri sharp n sounded like a call in distress. This lasted for ard 10 secs. We were shocked coz we thought an accident had happened, so we looked in the direction of the sound n expected the medics to run over if an accident really took place. But noone from the HQ side noticed it. Anyway we were already shacked & thought of nothing n went to sleep.
After the whole exercise then we managed to chat abt the werid sound that we heard while in Sungei Gedong. Only our battery guys heard the sound that night, some said it was an animal, some said it was a bird, some said it was that thing. For me, I did not saw anything, so I dismissed it as an animal.
We started to doing cleaning & maintenance of the SSPH on Thurday before handing over them back to the 21st SA Battalion, then I realised I had lost some stores. It could be lost during the outfield exercise coz it was dark during the night. I have to choice but to sign 1206 & paid for that lost items. A standard procedure for SAF. Luckily that items cost less than 10 bucks.
Managed to out-process on Fri n went back home to unpack my stuffs n got to see my Dear online before I go to bed after a tiring 2 weeks training.
That's all for my In-Camp Training folks!
