Army life #2
I’m back again, on a thursday. And every other army man who’s in a different school as I am cursed me when I told them I’ll be booking out early today morning. Oh well.
Disclaimers
Okay this is important. I can’t (and won’t) stop writing about my army life.
You are now given two choices: suck it up and read whatever boring army shite I have to post or jolly well stop doing so altogether because all I care about is to keep an account of my life in NS and not whether you like reading them or not.
Well, I’m just being pre-emptive before I start receiving the relevant complaints about me posting about nothing else but army life.
Summary of events
- Our platoon’s water parade and route march were featured on ChannelNewsAsia because they wanted to interview and film one of our sergeants’ training us. We actually had to rehearse and I doubt we’ve behaved better ever in our life on that day.
- New stunt (at least for us) for standby-area inspection. We had to make sure all movable items in the bunk must be cleaned — including the enormous metal cabinets. Stunned. Spent an hour doing so.
- We took an hour to do area cleaning because we spent 15 minutes watching a life and death battle between a lizard hunting an ant. No one won.
- I’m no longer single — I have a wife now. Rejoice albeit more responsibility.
Statistics
- On a company-level (of 4 platoons, around 50 men each) , there are 18 men who fell out because of injuries/sickness. My platoon alone contributed 14 that fateful day.
- Of the 7 personels sent out-of-training(OOT) in the entire company, my platoon has 3 representatives.
- 2 men in my platoon had to be hospitalised. One of them just went in today, because of a dislocated pelvis bone during the early morning jog. He is the bomberman I mentioned.
- In spite of all the statistics, our platoon’s tagline is “pah beh dou” which means cannot be defeated. Fucking hell.
Good friends, yea right
Sometimes friends you thought you can depend on won’t stand up to the test. Fucking hell, let’s not be bothered about them.
Thank you for being nice enough to be there to talk to me at night, haha. You know who you are (and no it’s not her, fuck you — I don’t think anyone has rejected my offer to chat on the phone as fast as she did, damn it.). It’s true that it’s nothing to be just on phone but if you’re in my shoes you’ll understand — it’s relative. I know I’m long-winded but I don’t ever let efforts go without notice. So +100 to you! ;)
And “fuck you” to the rest of you who wouldn’t talk to me when I needed some tender loving care the most. -100 to this bunch of you. You all have better start bucking up and earn points before unusual things start happening!!
Closing
Okay that is so much for a short week. :)
