The night before the field camp.
Everynight, there will be a last parade. The last parade is conducted usually by the sergernts. However this last parade was conducted by our platoon commander (PC), 2nd Liet. He briefed us about the field camp, what time the light off and the reville timing for tomorrow. The light off timing was 2200 hrs, which is half an hour earlier than before. We have not pack and ziplock our field camp clothes and equipment, on top of that we have less time to bathe. By the time the PC told us and dismissed us, we are left about 45 minutes to do all these. Luckily, most of my section mates have packed their field pack and bathe, ready to sleep. Chop Chop do thing fast, light off at 2200 hrs, no movement. But this was not the end, our PC did a spot check on us. He caught someone from other section, not sleeping, still having his candle light maggi mee supper. Knn, we are all forced to fall in 3 minutes. By then, we were blurred, just woke from a 10 minute sleep. All of us in panic, go to our field pack to unpack our PT shoes and change attire to fall in.
Fall in liao, kana punishment for 40 minutes, get scolded by platoon sergernt and commander. F*** so many times. Then sweat go back to bunk, faster do the repacking and sleep. Just because of 1 person's mistake, the whole platoon of 46 men are dragged down. Si bei sian.
Day 1 of field camp
Wake up very early to repack some stuffs again for some who didnt, do things chop chop after kana screwed by platoon sergernt and commander last night. Fall in with Full Battle Order (Webbing + Field Pack + Rifle around 18 - 20kg). Do all the admin stuffs and ready to go for the route to the first1 camp site. Wow lau, this camp site is damn pathetic, so cramp, so muddy, got the signs of tree branches fallin. Assigned a place to pitch my basha, digged drainage system for the water to flow in case raining. After that, rain started to pour heavily. Damn sian, my buddy and I have to squeeze into the basha to seek shelter. After the rain, even more worst, much more muddy. When fall in and sit down, bo pian have to sit on the mud. Orders have to follow. Lan lan have to follow. Did my first camouflage and concealment in the afternoon. Then in the evening, the rain came again. The whole company had to leave the camp site to seek for shelter which is better. Every camp site, there will be a urine point and shitting point. Damn the urine point can get flooded lor, imagine hundred over urine at that point, the ground can get flooded.
Sibei sian, the whole company cramped at the shelter to eat dinner, to sleep. What ever we did, must be in tactical mode - No noise, smell, light ....
Day 2
Moved to camp site 2, abandon camp 1 cos it's deem unfit for us to stay. Route march to rubber plantation. This time the ground is real hard solid, build the basha on the gentle slope. Stayed there for 2 nights. Learned alot of combat stuffs.
Day 3
Volunteered to do guard duty, got 4 shifts. each shift is about 2 hours. I took the last slot which is from 0330 to 0530. During the guard duty, sibei sian also. move here more there, patrol around, look for intruders or suspicous characters. patrol around the ammo area. After switch role with my platoon mates, this time round, patrol around the campsite, damn sian also plus also raining. After the whole thing ended, awarded a white guard duty plastic for us to wear it on the right top shoulder. With this, we cannot do heavy training activites.
Day 4
Because last night do guard duty, so heng heng cannot do route march to the new campsite. Thought it's heaven? Kana do sai gang jobs, carried alot of things to load up to the tonner. After that basically stoned there for 2 hours. Tonner came, got up to the tonner, quite shiok also ah. not need to route march, just sit there and rest. Reached the new camp site, also do sai gang jobs, unload things. This camp site is even best, no need to build basha. We slept in the old 1 storey classrooms, i thiink it's look like classrooms. This time round, we get to eat fresh ration form cookhouse, damn shiok also after like eating the combat rations for 3 days. We get to bathe, even more shiok. But quite trouble also have to walk quite far to the temperory outdoor shower point. Some of my mates, before the field camp, cut their towel into half to reduce the bulky-ness of their fieldpack. Then when came to use the towel. Alamak, the towel is too small, short of like 1 inch. My section mate kana sign extra duty for deepavali, wow headache ah. After i showered finished, i quickly lent to one of my mates so that he will not caught. Along the way back to the camp site from shower, i lost one of my slipper. Dun know how to survive with one side of the slipper.
Day 5
Practise drills, shoot blanks, chong sua for the whole day. Route march the same route to the shower point, i saw one of my lost slipper on the road. Damn sian, cannot pick it up because I cannot suddenly go and pick up and block the whole platoon way. My rifle damn sucky, always kana AI (fault). Must shoot and load, shoot and load. Didn't managed to finished all the rounds.
Lousy rifle.
Day 6
Moved to the last camp site which is the reclaimed land. Here, the mosquitoes are extra power, commando kind one. Can bit thru your uniform one. Literally the whole day was digging and digging and digging. Dug one shell scape for myself, help to dug the fire trench for my platoon.
Almost very weak, dug under the hot sun, feeding myself to the mosquitoes. Shragged ah. Abandon basha, sleep inside our shell scape for the night. Good exprience, sleep and at the same time see stars. Damn, i didn't dig long enough for my whole body and i slept with my legs tuck in. Quite uncomfortable. Whole night, kana love bites on my face. Very itchy.
Day 7
Woke up very early with muslims, to have breakfast before the sun rises. Route march to one area to do some crawling. Leopard and back crawls. Damn sian, i kana the worst lane. By the way, 3 MG are firing live rounds at us, we had to crawl and stay low. My lane got 1 part is damn muddy. Did a back crawl at there, came out, my whole back is full of sand and muddy, even my underwear also. Fall in, i looked at all the lane 4 people, all the same as us. Some people thought we garang soldiers. After that route march back to the company line and we break camp. Along the way very uncomfortable, got alot of sand at my back. Knn, one of my mates, slapped me on my back. Wow damn uncomfortable lor. Cannot rinse somemore. But i endure and sing loudly, damn happy to return to company line, our bunks, our cookhouse food and lastly book out. Yeah.
