Remember that piece of shitty equipment I was talking about? Guess what? We were issued an improved version of it. Improved in F**K-UP-NESS! Just when I thought that piece of shitty equipment is the worst thing in the army, they issued us an improved version which is [...]

Woke up around 6 plus near 7am. Had almost 12 hours of sleep. Luckily I didn’t go for nights off. Can sleep more. Body was aching.

First time wearing the new number 4. Feels weird. Still prefer the old number 4 anytime. Arrived camp just in time. In-pro went smoothly. Think we are quite expert in this already. After all, this is our 7th In Camp Training (ICT). Our bunk is at level [...]

The 2 weeks plus reservist is finally over. Woohoo!!
This is indeed the toughest reservist ever. Especially the 4 days outfield exercise which seems like the longest battle ever. It was tough, too tough. At one point, I thought we were still NSF. In fact, this is the 2nd toughest exercise in my entire whole life. [...]

I’ll be going back to camp for reservist for the next 2 weeks (plus a bit) and will be “released” on 5 Sept. Which explains why I got my friends to help guest blog and also the camouflage blog header. (Which is the same that I used last year)
