Getting Results

Released after IPPT test today to get our results tml. We booked out at 7pm after dinner.

Basic Assault Course

The morning was kicked start wif Agility Grp Running. It involves continuous running for half an hr.

After lunch, the Basic Assault Course awaits him. First, we were ordered to take cover bhind a wall. Upon seeing the coast is clear, we supposed to dash to the dummy soldier and kick it twice. Next, we ran over a log. Soon, the 2nd dummy soldier came to sight. we raised our rifle in his hand and did a side butt swing at it. It did not end juz there. The 2nd dummy soldier was also given a front swing by us. Ouch.

After torturing the 2nd dummy soldier, we baby crawled thru a zinc tunnel and arrived at our nx dummy. we gave it a abs kick and a rifle headbutt. The onslaught ended. Soon, we were on the run again. This time, we back crawled under sharp wires to the nx dummy. The 4th dummy was also given the same treatment as the 3rd dummy, but the latter was spared frm a groin wack frm the rifle.

Wif tt, we crawled thru the last stretch of wire and at the last dummy, we thrusted the rifle butt twice on its head. The course, though 100m long, was filled wif mud trenches. we were not spared frm the dirty fight. we soon found ourselves cleaning gears in the evening. HAHA! Poor thing..

Tough Day

In the morning, we went to the gym. The gym is pretty much similar to school's. After the workout there, they were given some time to rest b4 their nx assignment.

The afternoon training proves to be a tough challenge for us, as there was the Basic Close Combat Training (BCCT). It teaches how to use one's rifle to poke one's enemy in battle. The training was soon followed up by Strength Training.

Tough day

Happy CNY!

Get to book out at 5.45pm today after dinner. We get some special lunch and dinner cos of CNY. Finally a long book out till Tuesday nite. Yeah!

HG

Hand grenade day! Remembered some cockster lost his safetly ring after throwing it, and everyone were sent to look for it.

At first got one practise, then throw the real grenade. The impact sibei big...can feel the sock wave. Basically, u go into the grenade range, wait till your turn, collect the bomb and when asked, enter the bay.

Outside the bay, say "I, (nric) (rank) (name), Right Master hand, No Sweaty Palm, requesting permission to enter the bay sir!". Your officer will give u permission to enter the U-shaped bay. He will ask u to prepare grenade, u take i out and hold it with both hands outside the bay.

Command will be given to get ready, then twist safety pin, pull it and take it out and reply "grenade prepared and ready to be thrown sir!" The grenade has a safety pin, and it will detonate only when the safety pin and lever are detached. So after pulling the safety pin, it will take 6 secs to explode after the safety lever is released, which is when the grenade leaves your palm when u throw it.

Now commander will tap your shoulder and u throw it. On seeing where it land, by the 4th second u should be squatting down behind the bay and wait for the explosion.

There are quite some cases of blinds, meaning the grenade wun explode on throwing. Then the C4 charger will be placed and BOOOM, blow everything up together. That on the explosion is like....blowing off the whole BMTC liddat.

Unsurprisingly, all the commanders were very very nice to us on that day.

Sit Test

SIT Test means Situational test. Basically its smthing like your JC/Sec skool team bonding games. Put u in a group and then give u a sort of puzzle or situation to solve. Everyone gets a chance to be leader, then the accessors (external re-service officers) will see your leadership potential. Its a out field, in-the-forest thingy, 3 day 2 nite.

Sit test day one. Its the usual road march to camp site. How sian. 12km this time. The camp site is the same third camp sit for field camp. Lots of mozzies and sandflies. Great. Good game. Come back build pasha and thats it for the day.

February 6 2007
Sit Test day two. Started with the horrible 4km fast march, which is virtually running with LBV, helmet, long four and rifle. Followed up by the Sit test itself, which consisted of lots of small small missions. There is this story about demolishing the enemy's bridge Dragon near Danger Water. Not gonna elaborate on that.

CO supervising the SOC

The day was kicked start wif the CO supervising the Standard Obstacle Course (SOC). The CO was like the head of BMTC. The commanders were shocked tt the CO will be supervising them.
