A recap on this week's events. We had an exercise
Thundershield for 24 hours. Its darn tiring to be on high alert, carrying out ur duties for hours. Get to rest but with the fear of being activated in case of any intrusion. At first wanted to chaokeng,
fortunately i din. =) Was a realistic exercise in preparation for ops in the future.
POP rehearsals. Argh freak out at the thought of rehearsals. Bmt rehearsals was a nightmare, inflicting pain all over our body cause of the load and long hours of standing parade. It wasnt an exception for this SSC rehearsal parade, but i was lucky to be the Rhibs contingent. Need not carry any heavy load... Rehearsals went on from wed-fri. Was
shagged-out, and it turned out the rehearsal was better than the actual parade. Moral of the story: Rehearsals doesnt mean anything. Practice doesnt make perfect.
Today was finally our passing out day, after 3mths of gruelling training. Mixed feelings about being posted back to Changi, while alot of my frens are going to Tuas. Sheesh, dunno what to say also. Shall be glad if i can serve finish my NSF smoothly without signing too many extras/kena SOL =)
Technically speaking, my block leave's from today until next wed. Budden im selected to go for the
Rhibs try-out tomorrow morning. Dun think i'll be part of Rhibs crew also... since i have sea-sickness. But to be involved in sea defence sounds fun, rather than land defence. Anyway shall see tomorrow..
Finally it marks the end of my trainee phase, moving on to become operationally ready for duties.
Intending to teach tuition when i have more free time in 1 month's time. Does anybody have lobangs? Contact me okie. =)
