WHY DOES EVERY SINGLE COY BUT ORION HAVE EARLY BOOK OUTS FOR GOLD/SILVER AWARDEES FOR IPPT? WHY? HECK I EVEN BOOKED OUT LATE FOR DRILL SQUAD TRAINING AT 1800 WHEN THE REST OF THE COY BOOKED OUT AT 1100 (but I’m getting my day off for this so it’s not too bad). BUT WHY [...]

SIT test was over, prior to that was the 12k route march in FBO. All I remember was at the end of the 12k I couldn’t feel my left arm anymore (due to the weight of the field pack). I need to rethink how to survive 16k and 24k without having the need to amputate [...]

I am back.
The last 6 days have been the longest 6 days in my life. In the past 6 days I have slept on soil, dug my own grave, carried jerry cans all over the place, engaged the enemy in heavy rain, slept in my grave for one night and have a guy collapse from [...]

We got to book out this afternoon and it’s probably the one and only chance we’ll get to do so, this time cause the field camp this coming week (which I will blog about in another post) will burn the coming Saturday, thus explaining the leave we get.
Friday night, most NSFs are probably out having [...]

IPPT Diagnostic Results:
Sit-ups : 43
Shuttle run: 9.5s
SBJ: 239 cm
Chin-ups: 20
2.4k run: 9m 21s
I’m still very dulan over SBJ. I’m like 4cm away from the full 5 points but my shortlegs refuse to bring me over that pathetic 4cm. And I still unable to bring my 2.4k timing to a sub-9 timing; 20 seconds is a [...]

I am pretty sure that past 3.7 weeks at Tekong have made me stupid. I was going to Toa Payoh stadium for a run at the track and it took me about 4 minutes to remember what bus I was supposed to take to get there.
