Welcome to Enzo's Memories....
:: Saturday, January 05, 2008 ::
I was meddling with my cupboard just now and I came across my Number 4 Uniform... hmm reminds me of my "green" days 2 yrs back. As an obese, I had to take the longer route of 6 months BMT. For those who do not know how long it is, lets make it simple and easy... I have seen 2 batches of POP and 3 batches of recruit of my neighbour company. Yes its that long.. 3 months for weight losing and 3 months for normal BMT training. The only good thing I can think of is the frequent bookout on fridays. The worst.... saigang warriors.. we were expected to do things like helping out in POP parades (can u feel the same as us when the batches that enter BMT pop right infront of you and you still got months to go), guard duties, most companies POP together in batches so the whole island is basically empty which means we have to take up all the guard duty. I remember our company being allocated about 2 weeks of duties straight. I volunteered for 1 duty standing as a sentry which was so bored! There is these people who actually thinks catching a illegal immigrant will grant them off days.. wishful thinkings. Anyhow in my whole NS life, I only did that one and only guard duty. I was allocated 2 backup duties in case the duty personnel is not available I'm suppose to replace him. I was lucky that I didn't get sabortage by anyone. But it cost me $40 each time I need to take cab down to report at the ferry terminal and cab home after all duty personnel attendance were confirmed.
During SITEST where all recruits with diploma qualification and above were required to participate, it is meant as a leadership test when we would route march 12km or 16km I forgotten to our destination where we setup our campsite. I had a bad flu during that fieldcamp and it was raining everyday. I had to pull my body during the routemarch walking rounds and rounds on the island. The routemarchs seems longer than the normal ones and my sgt was happily killing mosquitoes by slapping his cap on our backs. The combat rations weren't consumable, taste like shit and it actually make you think the shitty cookhouse food heavenly when compared. Out of my whole platoon, only 7 managed to survive the whole fieldcamp while the rest falled out during the routemarch. I survived the 3 days fieldcamp on a packet of fruitbar as the food suxs and I didn't want to use the "toilet".
I remember during the 7th month, one of my section mate told me that there was a lady standing on the tree just outside the window... and I'm sleeping right next to the window with the forest behind my company. The next morning, I felt this cold breeze glazing thru my body and I found myself unable to move staring at the roof. Then I heard this female voice saying something which I couldn't make out. Anyway it was really a bad experience. My neighbour section actually saw someone sleeping on the last bed which was suppose to be empty.
When the final routemarch of 24km finally came, I bundled my leg with plasters, sticking them on my whole feet to reduce blisters during the march. It really works, but the pain comes when I tried to remove them as it sticks on to my skin.
After POPing, I was posted to Sembawang camp for a 4 months course. Sure was glad to see some of my platoons and company mates there. Been there done that, had our fair share of fun and torture. During our field camp, my detail actually has the most PAI KA PAI CHUI (hand n leg injured, cannot do a thing), hence during the guard duty at nite, each detail was suppose to volunteer 2 people and guess what, I'm the only 2 people in my detail who was abled -.- There goes my sleep. My indian warrent officer went off in his rover using a loudhailer playing a female voice to scare the duty personnels.... it was funny that the duty personnel actually cut short their routes lol
After the 4 months, I was posted to Nee Soon camp alone. By the time I posted there, my upperstudy has already cleared his OFF and Leaves (6 months worth)!! I was then allocated to this malay storeman who acts and speaks like a chow ah gua. He always try to think of a way to tekan me thinking that he has a rank, yea LCP. I didn't get promoted immediately after course.. it goes slowly real slow. There is this indian WO that tried to give me extras for some key sign out issue and my officer helped me to settle. I was grateful to him.. very. The politics in there was seriously bad and after the armourer sgt left, I was left alone and that was when I learn how to protect myself. Managed to know great medic instructors and doctors in there. Some of my storemen were great.. just some...
oh well thats all for now.. tmr I still have to go for my daily run, wash up chubby and then collect my bursary :/Labels: 哀
