its been over a month since the last update. well, its not that i haven't been reflecting or writing about my life, but in ocs we're required to fill up this book which acts like a kind of diary so I don't really need a blog now. Besides, where got time!
life has been okay so far. there's been some ups and downs, with the latter being the majority, but I am coping well. i'll just ramble off whatever comes to mind right now:
1. I'm in Delta Wing. Everyone here is super zai T_T every night or two during the last parade there will be several names read out for them to go for PSC interviews the next day. There are already several OMS and SAFOS scholars.
2. Pushups here are done in sets of 50
3. I got gold for my first IPPT! :D Several personal bests, including 10 Chinups, 250 SBJ and 55 situps. Additional $200 woohoo
4. I did guard duty last saturday. The duty is split into shifts of 4 hours, so the cycle consists of 4 hours Guard house duty, 4 hours Ops room duty and 4 hour rest. Its quite slack but its really sian
5. Whoo i sat in an aircon rover while doing patrolling for guard duty. Its quite cool :D
6. My current appointment is platoon quartermaster, so once every 3 days i'm in charge of the stores and need to set them up and return them for all the day's events. Its quite a bit of saikang actually, but luckily I work once every 3 days only.
7. Route Marches here are in a totally different league from those done in BMT. Apart from the standard ILBV and field pack, we need to wear soft armour plates (argh hot), and carry hard armour plates (argh heavy) and each section needs to carry 2 weapons which weigh 9kg each (argh die)
8. I'm quite bored in camp so please sms me more. I promise to reply whenever possible (:
9. Training here is very much based on self learning. They throw you books and laptops and you just study whatever they want you to and pass the test later on. I don't really like it this way actually. Instructors > books > laptops
10. I became a bit of a blur-sotong after I entered OCS and I've made my commander quite pissed several times. I really need to wake up, I was never like this in BMT. Come on hongrui!
11. I really don't mind getting confined and doing extra duty on weekends I think. Civilian life is quite sian actually, most of the time I will just use the com and sleep the day away. Can there be more outings please?
