Diver’s Field Camp

last week..
the beginning of the week was really worth a mention..
we did almost nothing!
HOOYA!
mostly admin stuff and most of the time we were slacking all the way..
but hell came on Wednesday to Friday
it was our 3 days 2 nights field camp.. with Edward as my basah mate
or Individual Field Craft
we reached a jungle-like area with a sight of a highway..
we were told that we were at Lentor
well..
now we now what are the greens around Singapore are meant for..
lol..
we reached there dry and nice..
smells good too..
built our basahs..
dug our drainage system in case of rain
and we learn how to camouflage and blend ourselves into the surroundings..
during the night..
during the observation post..
Feng Ling, Terry, Edward and i went into the side greens of the HQ and tried to infiltrate and steal some of the instructors stuff..
Feng Ling successfully went in and stay for 5 mins..
just went he wanted to steal Instructor BK’s bag
instructors came back and he got to run..
DAMN!
it just too bad that it rain couple of times and it was CAT 1 situation during 1-2 am..
we were forced to muster out asap..
and we took our time to do that..
so..
”on your back! on your belly! on your back! on your belly!”
we need to walk dont know how long to reach a underpass for shelter..
but halfway through the walking.. the rain stopped..
but it was still CAT 1.. DAMN..
we did the same thing two times in a night..
and that was the first night..
second day..
we woke up with a few hours of sleep..
and found ourselves WET!
morning dew flooded our tents
had our breakfast and waited for instructions..
the programme for us was to learn contact drills..
the training area sucks to the core..
we got to prone on hard ground with lots of gravels
and those are with sharp edges
damnnn it!
well well..
Instructor BK took my section first..
and halfway through..
Jacob dropped his FAD..
and so.. we saw ourselves looking at the mud pool and try to love first..
before we roll ourselves into it..
just seconds later.. Platoon 1 Section 3 is covered with mud!
hahahaha
those mud really smell bad..
and that was in the morning man! damn again!
abrasion starts to kick in after that..
we gathering back with the rest..
and we realise.. all of us.. the Diver Trainees were all in mud!
hhahahhahah
oh… i got the chance to throw a smoke grenade.. 
had lunch and Warrant Tan took us for the second half of the day..
same deal.. contact drills..
but this time.. a more serious one..
do it once and do it good..
we did it good and covered ourselves from continuous drills..
with those blanks that we got left..
Warrant Tan allowed us to switch to auto mood and finish it
and we turned into RAMBOs! lol
Master Teo later came and offer us some thunder flash..
throwing that was another kind of fun..
the night came..
we were all looking forward to the powder bath..
and to change to a new set of No.4
BUT DAMN IT AGAIN!
we were suppose to wear back the muddy No.4 after our powder bath..
how disgusting can we be?
we were slow in changing down and up..
so,… changing parade kicks in..
our socks were extreme
with all the mud dried up and harden..
we got to tear in down..
OUCH man..
changing parade dragged all the way to midnight..
the very last morning of the field camp..
we got a very black Friday..
i think the distance was around 100m..
the whole company got to leopard crawl through the distance..
and the distant includes muddy areas.. sandy areas.. and hard ground area..
and throughout the whole crawl…
it was the gravels with seriously sharp edges that made us cried in pain..
one funny moment..
someone shouted, “AHH!! my cock hit the rock!”
another replied, “damn! i can feel your pain!”
finally.. we changed into a new set of No.4 and waited for our bus to arrive..
that was the field camp that ndu go through..
i really appreciate being in the pool now.. hahahha..
after the field camp..
most of us got abrasions …
the worst of it..
Josiah’s.. blood was already flowing out..
besides..
heat rash also killing some of us..
mainly Eugene and Timothy Er..
the itch really cramp their face up..
next was the feet cracking..
due to the long hours of maintaining our feet in mud..
most of our feet were white when we took out our boots and socks..
i overheard one of the senior mentioning that field is worst than hell week..
but.. we will stay in No.4 throughout the 5 days during hell week.. without taking off it at any moment..
i dont know how to survive it man!..
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
until then ba..
last week of BMT and we going to enjoy one week of block leave..
but again.. we got the 12km route march..
am i going to die?
