Saturday, August 30, 2008
hi everyone...
its been a long time since i lasted blogged...
becos...
i kana alot of extra guard duties...
for the past 2 weekends, i haven been serving guard duties in camp...
hence my weekend is very very very short...

many things have happened over the week...
we had demolition live firing on monday...
it was really fun :)
the unfortunate thing is...
we didn't get a chance to blow things up...
as there were too many restrictions over at the "bomb side"
no blowing of logs...
no blowing of metals...
no blowing of doors...
no blowing of trees...
no using of explosives more than 5kg for a single blow...
etc...
etc..
etc...
(i understand tt there's a ammo depot nearby)
my CSM (Company Sergeant Major) is so fed up with all these restrictions tt he mocked by saying tt... we should all use firecrackers instead...
becos firecrackers can only hear the sound ma...
no need to scare debris will fly...

hahaha...


actually...
we (trainers, officers and Men) were all quite unhappy with the system...
to me...
the army is being split into 3...
its...

3G army...
2G equipment...
1G technical support...

e.g for 2G equipment...
our load bearing vest (LBV) which replaced the SBO (which i'm not sure wat it stands for)...
the nylon material tt its used cannot disperse heat from our body...
causing all the Men and specialists to experince heat rash and other heat related injuries to the body...
the nylon material melts when burns...
supposedly Singapore troops are going for real operation this instance...
when troops' nylon made LBV came in contact with fire...
the whole thing will stick with us, the troops...
becos the LBV will melt...

if tts the case...
where to we store our rounds?
wat operations/ let alone mission can we complete?

the Night vision goggles tt the troops uses to conduct delibrate raid at night...
is...
3rd generation...
current world class special forces' troops uses...
the 8th?
or even the 10th generation night vision goggles...
lighter?
smaller?
greater mobility?
longer self life?

wat 3G?

transport/support sectorshave failed (i will say)
our tekong field camp recently had a flop in the transport sector...
not enough tonners (the SAF lorry) to ferry troops to the training area...
wat was being given?
civilian chartered bus (Vivo city bus, Jurong bird park bus, Mandai Zoo bus) are used...
i feel more like a tourist to Tekong than a training soldier...
thursday's live firing was a screw up... (the lessons were ok)
it is the transport arragement tt causes us the delay...
the buses cannot arrive the camp at earlier time, to beat the morning traffic...
tt means our movement was delayed due to the late buses (by an hour to be exact)
the morning traffic in the SLE and TPE further delayed troops movement by another 15 mins...

speaking of a HIGHLY DISCIPLINE military organisation, being late for more than an hour for live firing...
due to the late coming of chartered buses...
unavailability of tonners...

wat 3G?

and this is happening to the Best Combat Unit for 22 times?

wat about the other units?

i'll leave u guys to think about it...

gonna go :)
