last 2 weeks have gone fast. left 3 more weeks before i graduate from BSLC. last week went for SOC run down, navigation and also IPPT. tiring for me especially the navigation part. the worse was that all these activity were cramp together. navigation in mandai really sucks. we were suppose to find 4 check points we ended up with only 2. the distance from the start to the first check point was 1.1km but we took about 3 hours to find that stupid check point and another 1 hour to get out. how fastrating. saw monkey too. one even nearly pee on us. lucky to get out with just few scratches from the thorns. SOC, i pass the trial run, but failed the real test. cause it was wet and slippery couldn't clear the low rope in time. spend 2 minutes there and really wasted my chance of passing. damn sad, hope to get another try. IPPT, i already got gold, so i joined in to help my friend, to push him so that he can get at least a silver. no need to do remedial training. his previous timing 13 minutes. now 11 minutes. huge improvement.

just came from field camp. i am just glad it is over. crawled in mud water, sleep on wet ground "donated blood", heat exhaustion. make us do tactical movement in the mud. make us sleep in the open field, carrying our equipment doing tactical really sucks. but my sergeant was kind to us. if not my field camp will more jialat. field camp site was also demoralising. why because the place we sleep,we could hear the mrt from far. so close to civilisation yet so far. going to shoot metador on thursday so happy.

lol just booked out from pasir lebar camp. had saw live firing and also had the real ippt test. the one that determines whether u get the ippt badge and the money. didnt even know it was the real test until someone told me the day before. but i managed to get extra $200 and the badge.
live firing sucks. cause i kenna bitten by lots of mosquito and sand fly. got one big patch on my leg. they even can bite through the uniform. sian next week field camp. with this week keep raining i will predict it raining during field camp. shit la but at least until next thursday so can book out after that.
