BMT field camp, sorry, its a scout camp instead!

before I could recover and rest well for the next event, I have plan how to rest well during my stay at Tekong but it all suddenly change. my CSM have ask me to perform guard duty, main reason, he got not enough specialist so need me to help out, with all thanks to the CPL Dave Teo, security have step up a lot, sometimes I don't know to thank him or to curse him because as we all know, army so wayang, everything go through motion, but sad for him that he is charged with 3 charges. anyway, guard duty on a Saturday is boring and it nearly drive me crazy. why drive me crazy is because the guards under me really piss me off big time and I just felt like giving every one of them a good punch to wake up their freak idea on what they have been doing. sigh, I hope that something "good" will happen so that they will wake up.

so after this shitty guard duty, I have yet to pack my stuff so I rush a lot. I thought I can get out of camp like 9am but I was wrong. :( get to step out at 9.45am and by the time I reach interchange its around 10am already and I hadn't had time to find 3 original VCD for HQ movie screening. initially for what I heard was its for the recruits. the best thing, I heard all is gonna have BBQ for BMT field camp. this field camp is totally full of bullshit. everything is done with no standards, even the SME's cant do a shit about it because our big boss wants it that way. WTH!!! WTF is he just trying to do??? he just think that they are some private soldiers already huh... sigh! thank goodness he wanted me to move on the army and now I'm waiting to be posted out if not I'll be the first one to kill myself because they are now not fit to even be a private soldiers.
SHAME ON THEM! not surprise that they wont get best unit for this year.

so I tried my best to find the VCD but the rental shop is still closed, so I called back john, telling him that I cant get the VCD because the shop is still closed and I am going to miss the 12pm ferry to Tekong. I asked him if it is really urgent because i know that Bernard will be making a hell lot of noise if I don't come on time and etc. btw I don't like him. so john asked me to stay and wait for the shop to open and the next ferry is at 1700hrs, which is 5pm. so I said ok and head back home for rest and step out of house at 3 just to rent the VCD.

as soon as I got the VCD, I headed to the ferry terminal, the queue was short but the wait was long. half and hour more to the departure of ferry, the weather is hot too and it made the whole waiting area like oven! UH!!!!!!!!! as the clock slowly ticks, I see many of the people I know came.

when I reach Tekong, I was honestly a little lost because I don't know where is HQ at so I just blindly walk with the crowd. haha... even just by following crowd, it leads me to where my HQ is! so I just put my packs down and I see most of them sleeping and I wonder what have they done the night before but from what I estimate, they have done nothing much, just taking afternoon nap. I have to idol for very long before the happy hour starts and I just have freaking no idea why am I here so early. when dinner came, which is happy hour, well, I can say this is the best happy hour and yet the worst field camp that that i have ever attended. the recruits got to have a taste of happy hour too. 1 even had BBQ, like no govt and no law man! I wonder if anyone bought pork over that night so that he can get freak out.

so after the happy hour is movie marathon, watch hitch and mr deeds, it was real funny but we were like watching it on the wrong place. haha... all the recruits from tekong can see us watching movie! sound so funny lor.... so the next day i am suppose to go for recce with the conducting officer for the 24km route march which is at ECP. sian... I go tekong not even 24 hours.

So next day came and I showed that kinda hack care attitude again, haha, because I really cant be bothered with this so called BMT field camp. left with the recce group at about 12 to ECP to look for a good 24km distance to walk. the journey was long and boring and I took a short nap without anyone noticing it.

after the recce, well, we took a break, we landed up at ECP Mac and had lunch there. hahaha... that was the best meal that i ever had because I don't get a chance to wear army uniform and eat over there in office hours... after that we headed back to camp to rest and prepare all the paper work that needs to be done.
