WHOooO HooOOo!! Completed AHM yesterday! It was quite an incredible feat. I never imagined myself running such 21km without stopping much. But my performance was below my expectation. I thought I could have completed it in a much faster time. Nevertheless it was a good experience. I might consider taking part again =DSometimes, things are done at the expenses of the people for some publicity stunts. It is marvelling how they can do such things considering the amount of education they receive. Participate in AHM some time and you will get I mean. I didnt realise some of my friends in poly enlisted recently until I stumbled on their blog. Reading about their encounter, it certainly brought back fond memories during my time at Tekong. Well... it also reminds me of my imminent ORD and our seniority (Lau Jiao) over them. =P Our commanders then often told us to enjoy our time there, as it would definitely be the more enriching and enjoyable than anywhere else. I used to disbelieve them then, but now it seems that way. 162 days to ORD Sunday, August 19, 2007, 8:16 PM
1 week of block leave went by just like that. Although I've been at home most of the time, it definitely beats staying in camp. The last time I stayed at home for such a long period of time was when we came back from Brunei. The satisfaction this time was far better, since ORD is barely 6 months away. However, at the same time, it left me craving for more time at home. Precisely, ORD is so near, that I could not longer wait for it. The feeling gets more intense with each passing month.Once back in camp, we have to adhere to a strict lesson plan devised by my PC to prepare us for ATEC stage 1 in early October. From what we were brief on earlier, the schedule would be intensive, cramped with route marches, signal-based lessons and physical conditioning. It would so dreadfully boring and tiresome. On top of that I've been emotionally provoked by certain issues which I'm barred from publishing them here. Im so vexed and I need someone to complain, to confide in =( Btw, I was so captivated by the 9pm TV series on Channel 8. Not the portion about the army, but the phrases Tay Ping Hui's mumbled to Felicia Chin's character. Touching and sweet at the same time. Never fails to bring a smile to my face =D 170 days to ORD Sunday, August 05, 2007, 10:45 PM
Yea!! I just passed my SOC test last Friday. Im immensely proud of myself for improving from last year's timing of 8:55 to 8:31 this year. To think I failed before in BMTC. Heh =PIn fact, there's nothing much of a obstacle from now till ORD. Out of the 4 requirements stated by my OC, I have already cleared 3 (IPPT, ACCT and SOC). The last would be the combat shoot which I certainly would have to worry about. Being impaired in the both eyes ( over 800 degrees myopia and 200 astigmatism), I could barely see the target properly in the day. It was worse in the night. Once I cleared that, only 3 beasts stand in my way to ORD. AHM, ATEC stage 1 and stage 2. AHM is approaching, on the 26th August I would be running 21km around East coast, Suntec and Esplanade area. ATEC Stage 1 is scheduled in early October and stage 2 in January next year. Everyone should be certain of this because I have been bitching about not able to clear leave and stuff. Anyway life isnt too happening in camp now, especially when you have cleared almost everything. HAHA =p. Besides the battalion is going to release us for a well deserved 14 days block leave. Majority of us felt cheated since we still have to turn up for AHM training at East coast. See? This prove some of my previous posts correct. Refer to them if you dont know what Im talking about. LESS THAN 200 DAYS NOW! 184 to ORD |
