Outfield Soon




Met up with Jason, tkb and ws that Saturday afternoon

We watched the Mummy movie, Dragon Emperor or some nonsense

Which was obviously not very surprising, and not very pleasing

But I must thank them for taking time to catch up with ws and me

Not forgetting the presents as well, really liked the presents, thanks

Earlier this week, our company, led by OC sir, WSM and other staffs and sergeants

Headed off to Marsiling forest for a 2 days 1 night field training

The jungle experience was great, tough and dirty, sweaty and mud all over

It was indeed tiring and we were all exhausted after the trip

While the most unforgettable event was the 12 km route march on day 2

My buddy gave it up at 4 km, complaining back aches and breathless condition

While I strive on in pain, and slowly we completed the march under 4 hours

Near to 20 kg of additional load, tough and rough terrain, lack of rest and sleep

This is soldier life, adapt it, or bear with it

And next week, the company is moving out to Pulau Tekong

To check out our fellow NSFs in training over there

No, we will be there for 8 days field camp, longer than those from BMTC

As time passes, we get stronger, we walk longer, sleep lesser, and fight harder

Like OC always say: Tough time don't last, Tough men do
