Got our Rifle

It was raining, and we were waiting for the rain to stop. We got their M16 rifle today, and it was lighter than the dummy rifle we had for first aid exercise. Its about 3kg. They are then in their uniform or 'long four' which means the green army uniform with long sleeves, and also they had their helmet and combat jacket, which had only the water bottle attached. And since it was raining, they wore their rain jacket, which has the same pattern and colour as their uniform (green). The rain jacket was supposed to be the most expensive item given to them. When the rain stops, they will be going to the rifle range to see the shooting demo...

M2 got their first punishment today, after the parade. They draw rifles and were officially presented with the M16 rifles in a parade at about 7pm after sunset. The rain was quite big but it was not CAT 1 so they insisted to have the parade outdoors.. Anyway, they were all drenched and stuffz, and there were lots of 'cock up' during parade like forgetting to greet when grabbing the rifle or having the rifle slip out of their hands. By that time everyone was all tired, yet things delayed and 'cock up' again when they were keeping their rifles, coz we were made to hold the rifles damn high when waiting to keep them, then everyone's hand was in great pain. So, after supper they were all asked to fall in outside platoon bunk and got into push up position and held it there for like 20 odd minutes. And by the time all that ranting ends its already over administrative time and we have no time to bathe, so everyone had to put powder and sleep just like that.
