The last 4 weeks have been good.
Week 1 - First week in OCS, culture shock. People there really friendly, and very open.readily accepted into their family. Instructors will readily teach what we didn't know, rather than punish us first.
Week 2 - Platoon field camp. 3 days was spent digging and defensive operations, and covering up our holes. Mentally challenging. Glad I made it through, been brought to a higher level of tolerence.
Week 3 - Platoon live firing. Firing the GPMG was euphoric man. Just squeezing off all the rounds at one go. Went high and hit the roof. Thankfully I managed to do my night shoot before exercise was cut due to the presence of a forest fire. Stupid sierra wing. I got my IPPT gold!!
Week 4 - The best week of the 4. 23km march, which I kenged and didn't walk. Social night, which wasn't that bad, but it was the company that made it good. Thanks bff! =D
Y Camp 2007 was the biggest highlight. Been a long time since I've worked with I, Camper, and I am very glad that I went for the camp. It was an avenue for me to do the things I enjoy, to interact with people, and pass on skills and knowledge. Working with special people again was good, enriching to be more exact. Just too bad I cant put up photos here, privacy sake la. The things some of them achieved, amazing. At the end of camp, the strongest and biggest of men cried. The wonders of God and how He uses 2 people to touch each others lives in different ways, over the same period of time, doing the same things.
Well, that's a short summary of the last 4 weeks. Tonight, I'll be flying off to Brunei for SOCJOT, whatever it stands for. Will be back on the 11th, miss me, pray for me. =)
