FINALLY!!! i have finally finish my 22 weeks of AISL (armour infantry section leader) course & am now a 3rd Sergeant NS man. went through alot of training, events, live firing, arms cleaning etc.
fired the 25mm brushmaster canon. although its not a big canon, its still quite powerful if aim correctly. fired 7.62mm GPMG & COAX machine guns. very inaccurate but i guess machine guns wasnt meant to be accurate in the first place. fired the 0.5 inch heavy machine gun. i really dislike that gun as it is much harder to aim & shoot at targets. fired 40mm AGL. much more accurate than the 0.5 inch HMG & is very powerful.
drove the BX 2MT AFV & was really a fun experience. clean the arms unit all my fingers became black in colour was something i will never forget. enduring the cold weather in overseas was hell for us all.
maintain a silver for IPPT, pass SOC in 9.56min (ATI standard) & gain some weight due to the good food of the cook house. cant say too much about the oversea training but i guess that part i will never forget.
seems very long but now i cannot really remember what really happen in this 22 weeks. i remember alot of late night arms cleaning. preparing of the vehicle by putting all the OVM items in their places. cleaning of the vehicle was very dirty & wet. alot of test on all the weapons, driving, signal set, turret control, TSR for weapons, driving, turret & the vehicle in general.
alot of things i already forgot, how to put the signal set etc. going to 41 SAR camp which is a 10min distance away from yew tee MRT. can reach home very fast every book out. going to take a whole new batch of recruits which will slowly become our man under our teachings. cant wait for my ORD date to come.
guess this marks the end of my trainee life in NS & the real test will being very soon. taking man isnt as easy but i guess as long as i dont torment them for my own entertainment, i should be fine. i really think with the experience of taking class in taekwondo, i wont have much of a problem in taking those man.
thats for now, bye
