Hahha… okay, thats as much as i will write about it.. change mode now. Its darren’s birthday tomolo right? haha… i’m sure everybody knows so.. happy birthday in advance to him! Uh.. nothing else i guess. Hmmmmmm… no busking already eh? mmmmmmmm… hahaha… no comment about that. Sigh.. its so boring in here, then think after today what are we all fighting for? what are we training for? Why do we even bother… So disillutioned kinda feeling.. Well, i’ve been happy listening to dave boyer during my free time… at least got some peace and sanity among all these ppl. THere are actually a great proportion of christians here… interesting. Well, haven’t made contact witht them on that level yet and dun think i will..

ops.. so late liao.. think gonna get chased out of the mess already.. they were watching “Honey” then the sound system got fried cos its inside a cupboard and they closed the door making it overheat.. sigh.. next wed no more show to watch…

Today has to be the worst day already, digging holes in a minute, literally. And then today’s gabra zebra is me… can’t remember all the procedure.. (where have i felt exactly like this before… ahhh……. airgrading!!!!) Its horrible! This time 5 ppl fate depends on you now. Mess up then can ceasefire already loh, and we’re the most slack detachment! crap.. i see the other 2 do non-stop for almost 1 hr…

Well, 2 injured already, 3 more to go. Today, Tino got his hand kiapped so bad his finger turned purple. Poor little finger. His nail looks like it just dieded… prob drop off in a few weeks. the other one has a fourth finger that looks like a brinjaw.. victim of being kiapped in between the vehicle and tow eye… ouch. Oh well.. just wonder when its my turn man.. I so far have only sustained cuts and thorns, very minor man! haha…

lets hear some of the voice proceedure..

“Prepare for crash action!”

*deploy deploy*

“fire misson platoon!”

“take posts! check put to fire! muzzle cover out!”

“mortar number 2! ranging! wp! chaaaaaaaaarge 4…, line! zero zero zero zero! elevation! one one four five! Fire!”

“mortar number 2! ranging! wp! chaaaaaaaaarge 4…, line! zero zero zero zero! elevation! one one four five! Fire!”

**number 2 man now has to lift up the bipod with the help of number 3 and 4, aim at an aiming pole about 40m away, bipod down and then set the scale to zero. Thats only when the bubbles on the sight are perfectly level and thats not easy when 2 ppl are trying to centre 2 diff bubbles, elevation and traversing bubble… Then sometimes the gear max out before you can aim at the thing… so you have to wind it back to the middle then bipod up again… which garuntees a failure…

at teh same time, number5 gets correct bomb and passes it to number 4.

4 - “Commander! WP! Chaaaaaaaarge FOUR! Safety wire out!!”

det com - “correct! load!”

uh… actually this is the easy part…

det com– “take posts!”

“take posts!”

“ready! FIRE!”

****booomm…****

now zero line is all out cos of the recoil.. so… poor number 2 must set zero line again which means

**number 2 man now has to lift up the bipod with the help of number 3 and 4, aim at an aiming pole about 40m away, bipod down and then set the scale to zero. Thats only when the bubbles on the sight are perfectly level and thats not easy when 2 ppl are trying to centre 2 diff bubbles, elevation and traversing bubble… Then sometimes the gear max out before you can aim at the thing… so you have to wind it back to the middle then bipod up again… which garuntees a failure…

a repeat of the above… then he aims at director(some guy with something called a… director! ha.. and gives det com the reading.

det com - “Aiming point! mortar number 2! director reading six three one three!”

Director - “Aiming point! mortar number 2! director reading six three one three!”

det com - “Roger!”

Number 2 man records zero line again with another aiming pole behind the original one… when done…

det com - “Mortar number 2, zero line recorded!”

all in 1 min 30 sec. But must remmember the hole you have to dig and also to set up the mortar… can die ah.. so, give one more minute. total 2.5 minute to dig and stuff that 200++kg thing into the depression you made and fire off the bomb. so fun… x10 at least… today. poor ppl who did 20x or more…

ops… i’m so free… Just finished the stuff we can do in the day. Waiting for night fall… and definitely dinner before that. Think this course so slack.. only xiong thign was that day for my detachment. Other ppl still action front a few times each day but my instructor slack so nvr do.

Oh well, lotsa stuff happening around and so many undercurrents.. ahaha, highest tension sunday i’ve seen since… since… 5 yrs already? uh… cannot remmember how long its been. ****yx… dun bug me to add a space in your name, i wun do it.. hahaha…**** anyway, glad things are turning out the way they are. Not being evil but… think just take a break from other ppl is good. Oh well, Other than all this, enjoyed yesterday! so long nvr play lidat.. i feel so slow and lethargic even when i try to run.

blah… its already 1710. Better go back to eat dinner, moooooooo-ving off at 1830 for lesson.

***yeah, about there lah..

haha… had too much this morn, back is super suan, uniform is soaked through and through. sigh… i love my det already. We came back a full hour before anyone due to our very niao instructor who keep making us deploy, pack up, deploy pack up when we cannot reach the timing. Hmmm.. Heard the other detachments cannot even reach the timing when they came back. Craziness… Just had lunch and going for another round at 1330. So tired already, heng its weekend soon.. TGIF! half a day more tomolo and i’ll be through this week.

Keeping my hp out of my pocket… Where else can you stuff it huh? Can’t think of anywhere else.

Okay, pushing it wasn’t all that bad… i like my detachement mates already, they’re a very good bunch. My back sort of suan from all that pushing. We went out until fofo hill (yeah.. like you know where that is) then came back to pasir lebar soc ground and had to go over a drain. Now.. pushing 405.50KG thing over a drain is not very easy. its more like a ditch . It goes in one wheel at a time then out one wheel at a time. My det got me and a few other big guys so it was not extreemly difficult. Det 3 was the worst.. had one less guy and they were all skinny dudes, so much so that they took a pretty long time to get their’s over. Haha.. after that got nights off to go buy a small torch for night ranging and aiming. Manage to find one at the pasar malam for one buck.. LED one sommore… so its too bright. Have to tape it over with some translucent stuff. My friends keep bumping into their recruits everywhere.. even female ones at macdonalds. Most of them are OCTs, dunnoe what they doing out on a thursday night. Haha… so sad the officers here wun be with us. They’ll join the next bunch of motar commanders during reservist for dunnoe what reason. Argh.. only 2 more days to book out! tomolo outfield… told not to bring phone and all. haha… we’ll see. Hmm… i can see how much i rely on computers already. It’ll be so boring if i couldn’t surf around in my free time. Bought a phone cover… the rubber rubber kind. THought of using GPRS but that made me $25 poorer last month. And i din even do much with it! blah.. I think my bill for shld have come in already. Din spend much i shld think. Oookay.. better go. This mess is jammed with ang mohs… australians i guess.. and they’re all drinking and making a ruckus. Have one or two tiger gals but they left earlier already. Wonder who in the world would wear that blue dress and serve beer for money… goodness.. its so.. uh… like, sorta selling your body in a way. Well, at least they do it for money. Some ppl do it for free walking around in almost nothing. Don’t they feel uncomfortable knowing ppl are looking at them in a… uh… lecherous kinda way? haha…. i cannot understand these ppl. But knowing they’re not the worst sorta makes it abit better. haha.. ops.. those who know what other stuff goes on in a mess shld keep quiet. Esp those lame ord functions… sigh.. i’m rambling on and on. better go get some sleep cos its late. I feel so rested during this course! so good… can just sleep late, sleep before lunch, sleep after lunch, sleep before dinner, sleep after dinner, sleep in the mess, then head back to bunk and sleep in bed. When the classroom lesson starts i think it’ll be even worse… can sleep in class too.. ahhaha… no lah. better not, later end up sleeping during confinement as well. zzzz… my life
