One week of Reservist had gone and its fast. Remembering the time when I was just a young chap serving my National Service for the country. In a round of a clock, it's been 4 years since I ORD-ed. Bedok camp has the most fond memories outside of home.
Refreshing back the days when I wore my green uniform marching left and right, holding on to my rifle and training with my buddies. Going through thick and thin with them was the most heart-felt thing I ever experienced. With the comfort of the bunk, big and spacious. Now fast forward to 2010, we've matured and came a long way. With the change of our Commanding Officer (CO), life is much easier. Unlike our crazy and 'siao-on' CO.
1st day of In-pro (In-Processing), reached Jurong Camp 2 at 7.15. Hair check by RSM (Regimental Sergeant Major). Thankfully this time my hair was short enough. Haha. Need not cut. Next, went up to the fifth storey bunk, darn tiring climbing up that flight of stairs with heavy field pack and stuffs. Got to see my group of buddies and there they went again joking and suan-ing me about those funny things we did at bedok camp. It made me laugh.
The highlight of this year's training was the Range; Shooting. We were expected to score Marksman for every group of 6. Indeed we scored well. HQ got the best combat shoot award. Yea! But if it's for individually, I wouldnt have scored marksman. My score was; Day shoot - 13 out of 15 shots on target, which is considered marksman. Night shoot 9 out of 15. Just pass only. Argh, missed it. Nvm, at least my group scored well, its a team effort. =) Man it really lasted one whole day finishing at 11pm. Not forgetting bullet check and declaring dat we do not have any left over rounds or bullets in our possession. Gosh.
Final day morning was fun. Had our Battalion jog and games. Tug of war! Woosh. Haha. HQ and Charlie company were even out. CO helped Charlie company, not fair. Lol. It really made my week as I was quite down with myself the past weeks. Self-confidence had gone up and I'm back to my cheerful self again. Yea! 745 Guards, always ready! =)
