What is the single most siong exp you've ever had in NS?

yep I remember that all too clearly...by the time we about 3/4 way through the topo exercise, all I could see were stars on the map...and the bladdy compass all of a sudden seem like lead around my neck...and we didn't get welfare man....still had our stoopid helmet....Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:The Recce Training before we turned fully operational back in unit. Those in Recce should know... those fast marches... Power PT... 72 click island-wide Topo in FBO with timing.
Comparatively, I would rather go Unit exercise than going thru the trg again. The power PT and the island-wide topo is really killer. Almost by the end of the topo... everyone of us had our tongue sticking out and started dragging our feet.
That was also the time when we reached our peak in terms of fitness.

Single most is difficult to pick, seem to be so many, how about this one?
After full day of FIBUA training having to load all the fortification stores (barbed wire, pickets, etc.) into the three tonners in 10 mins with five M16 magazines stuffed in our mouths becos original loading was deemed too slow by instructors (was Friday book out for instructors). I cud only get four in so kenna drop 50 for each missing mag, done at high point with mags in mouth to their timing, some guys only got three in, wah piang, jaws hurt like fark, gotta grip metal with teeth hard to stop slipping, re-insert muddy mags after they drop - torture. Dunno how so many got 5 in. Ended up just throw everything in and sit/lie on one another and the stores. Stupid thing wuz it delayed departure by more than another hour while all the punishments were enacted and we tried again and again to meet the 10 min timing.
Mebbe it belongs in tekkan post rather than siong. Year wuz 1982.
