It’s December!! It’s just 3 weeks more to Christmas!! It’s like tomorrow to field camp!! FML?
Whatever the case, the next 2 and a half weeks is going to jammed packed with all the remaining high key events.
High key events being, the field camp, the situational test and the hand grenade course.
The past week was pretty chill but quite mentally taxing. I was appointed Platoon In-Charge for the week. I sure do hope someone takes over soon. It’s quite a responsibility to be PIC. Also the past week was spent doing range training and the live range.
IMT is always fun for me, i mean heck, who doesn’t love to fire a weapon? Coming to live range, it was nothing short of breath taking. Nothing beats fresh propellant exhaust in the morning. It was definitely an unforgettable experience for me at the live range, strongly based on the fact that firing live weapons is always a thrill for me. The only other live weapon that I have ever fired was the M16 during my NCC days.
I have to say there was a really major difference between the 2 rifles in terms of the performance. Only real difference for me is how the compactness of the SAR21 really makes the aiming of the weapon really comfortable and easy to use as compared to the M16 with its longer barrel one would have to find a really comfortable holding position in whatever stance to fire the weapon accurately.
So up this point, what i feel about the army is that sometimes the commanders can really be fucked up for no apparent reason. It almost seems like they take people’s suffering as a form of entertainment and truly enjoying it, by that i mean really literally enjoying it and not fucking people up for show when the OC is around. But yeah, at the end of the day, I always keep reminding myself, whatever can’t kill you will only make you stronger.
Alright, I’ll be ending this entry here. Wish me luck for the field camp.
Cheerios.
