Back..

yes i, the first author is back. At least for now till sunday..
First of all, i would like to say thanks to ede for updating this blog. Although the updates are not in regulary basis, but thumbs up for her posts. They are interesting :D

Army life is tough and tiring. Basically for now, all physical trainings. Our platoon damn power, only 1 pass IPPT(aka NAPFA with higher standards). Sergents also shake head.. lol.

Everyday lights off at 10.30pm, wake up at 5.30am. Sometimes sleep at 11pm+ cause they ask us to do alot of things. For the last 2 days of training, i for once felt like we are a platoon. Everybody is finally cooperating because we faced alot of punishments for not doing so.

Yeah, our Sergent, the most fierce one.. want us to move fast and all. so everytime we run here run there because we not fast enough.

Got one time, we are on the ground floor with our dummy rifles. He ask us to go up to our bunk to lock our rifle and fall in back. btw, my bunk is at the 3rd storey. After we all fall in back, his face jitao changed. Shouted at us said we so slow.. some even walk up the stairs.

So he called us to take the rifle and come back down again. This time he only allow 2 mins. thats 120 secs. to move up 3 storeys unlock our cupboard take the rifle and then come back down 3 storeys and then fall in with a specific formation. My mind suddenly filled with alot of "Cb,knn,nnb" kind of thing. Cause quite impossible mah. But still everybody tried and ran like hell, and then fall in back. He told us the timing we took.

Sergent : "1 min 59 secs"
I smiled. And i know deep down inside my heart, my platoon mates all smiled.
He said 2 mins really aint impossible to beat at all. We have already proved it.

So.. he ordered us again and take up the rifles, lock it and fall in back. Yes, we ran like hell again. When we are down, he said 1 min 46 secs. Even though everybody is sweating like hell, im sure everybody have learnt a valuable lesson.

Teamwork is important. And is a value most respected in Army.
