InItIaTiOn..

A fulfilling week.. N a fitting way to end e week..

Demolition's e word for e week man.. Theory n practical lessons all packed in three days.. n tt's only e basic.. Nvr imagined act having notes n sitting in e auditorium listening to my CSM, juz like in JC lecture hall.. (Dozing off was another common thing too haha..)

Field training at e soccer field turened into a disaster due to our lack of seriousness.. Crawled up n down e field, plus all e static pts.. Sheesh.. E sandcans in our SBOs did little to help too..

5 km soc in green fatigue yesterday morning.. Damn shagged man.. Wonder how i'm gonna pass it in skeleton battle oreder.. Not to mention e possibility of carrying e much heavier SAR21..

N e finale today.. "Initiation" as e instructors call it.. But another term would be major turnout i guessed.. Rude awakening at 3am, den had to change to FBO in 5 min.. With e bunk already turned upside down, inside out.. Had to layout all e equipment in e parade square, n at anytime we were moving slow, static pt came.. Lot's of teamwork n sweat came into play though, which was quite encouraging..

Tt was only stage one.. Stage 2 required us to fire lift our buddies ard e soccer field, den it was leopard crawling up n down e field again.. Luckily time constrains did not allow e instructors to play with us more, n we proceeded to e 3rd stage.. Taken to some unfamiliar place, given casualities,(in e form of jerry cans), n we were required to fast march back to camp.. this wasn't so bad, as everyone were basically fighting to carry e stretchers act..

N e ending point? Commando jetty.. N e reward for our efforts? our jungle hats, finally.. Though i can't really say tt we went thru alot to earn it, judging from wat our instructors went thru during their turnout, but well, no one's complaining rite? Haha..
