Instead of opening new threads; I decided to consolidate all my BMT posts in this thread for the convienence of the mods lehOriginally posted by dkcx:Can the lovebirds head somewhere else to continue... Its stupid to see this topic being revive each week with that sort of posts...
Be it chit-chat, rantings, updates or "blog posts" - all will be here till the mods decide that this thread's no longer discussion-worthy (I hope not, POC in 12 days; lets leave this till I POC lah 
) -

c9 go back to coy line every night, staying there over night is a truely fantastic experience imo
-
i.e. chasing wild boars with our ET sticks when they come @ night...digging the latrine for the whole coy to use...and we cleared it too on the 3rd day..
IFC is something truely memorable and i am looking forward to the 7 days one when i join the PTP batch.. -
To sum up the 6th week of my BMT life...
A rather hectic and tiring week; with field camp and the aftermath.
Day 1, we marched 6km with our barang barang to the outfield location, set up the bashat and dug some drainage. Had some combat training, fired some blank rounds and had a lot of IAs. Day 1 was a bolt from the blue; the jungle was flabbergasting even for an adventurer like me.
Mud, stench, creepy-crawlies-I've-never-seen, behemoth grasshoppers and whatsnot... even a dog?
Day 2, we had more combat/sentry trainings - more blanks, IAs and thunderflashes. Combat rations were like lucky dips, get the pasta packages and you strike first prize; the others and your stomach gets a rollercoaster ride
It rained, rained and rained... I prayed, prayed and prayed... God didn't answer; but the crickets did
Day 3, it was when we dug the shellscape. Again, it was like a lucky dip - get the muddy area and first prize; the rocky ground and you get grumbly. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 ,1, 2... Up and down went our ET blades; I dug through the hard surfaces like a mindless robot, programmed for this. In my mind, I was hymming Silent Night... and after 5 long hours of Silent Night, the trench was done... so was my body...
No, we didn't get to sleep in the trench that night: we slept in our bashat, while the merciless skies poured on us. The night was bitterly cold... blue yonder moon.... after the callous rain...
Day 4, the last mile of the field camp. The 80m leopard crawl under the barded wires was a walk in the park. Determined to hurry home; to reunite with loved ones and close friends... We crawled like holy infants
After which, I carried 3 fieldpacks and marched 6km back to coy line (If 1 field pack is 20+ kg and I was lugging on 3, my rifle and weariness... if you ask me, I don't know how I made it back )
I'm not planning to bore anyone with the washing up and stuff... I shalt end here

got the permission of a bigger shot commander I shall not name 
Edit: And you got it all wrong, nothing to do with C9... it's the L3 and L9 who got to return to coy line...
Except for some L2 who kenged, and some L3/L9 that went for review to see if they're fit to stay over ) -

who u trying to kid sia -
I kinda got confined today; booked out was supposed to be at 1030, but 4 of us only got to book out at 1800.
Guess they were trying to fill up the confinees' list and I was an unfortunate candidate. My commanders even had the cheek to ask my pals "what did Detached done wrong?"
And when the 2IC questioned my commanders, they anyhow whacked one "Stubbornness"
I asked my mates and questioned my conscience; both confirmed that I gave my all in all the for the entire week - done nothing wrong to deserve the confinement at least.
Alas, I gave in my best shot and booked out 8 hours later than the rest. While the other fuckers whom displayed bad attitude and whom rifles got snatched walked away scot-free.
So I questioned the 2IC and he gave us one of the "You-might-not-have-done-something-wrong-but-this-is-how-the-organization-works" talk...
....... I know I'm becoming a more bitter and resentful person -

I don't think grenade is a requirement to pass BMT. You would just loss your one and only chance to ever throw a live grenade only.Originally posted by Detached:This week got grenade leh -

The last week of modified BMT.
Nothing much, sai kang sai kang sai kang.
We passed out from BMT this afternoon; a really modest passing-out-ceremony - we sat in the lecture room and listened to some speeches and we became privates!
Bade farewell to Tekong for good, hopefully. We were allowed to the back of the fastcraft to smoke for the first time ever...
Made some promises to stay in touch with each other, shook some hands...
No matter how memorable; bitter or sweet... Thank God it's over
14 days block leave! WOOHOO! POC LOR! -
