Hoho am finally back from BMTC... Its been a super long two weeks while I was inside, but now that I look back it appears quite fast...

Field Camp is next week, so I'll have to book in tomorrow at 6.25 pm with a lot of stuff... And prepare to get really dirty in the next week. No doubt it will feel the same... Though reading through what we're going to do I feel the same already...

Anyway I'll get plenty of time to complain about army to various people, so I shall talk about the positive part =)

The people in my section are pretty good... A number of them also come from uniform groups and so also appreciate the need of speed haha... So far we've cooperated pretty well cleaning the bunk and blah, as well as chasing each other out of the bunk whenever we need to fall in... Also slowly getting to know the people in the platoon better and better, so usually its easy to strike up conversations with most people.

The weather can be quite hot (which makes life quite painful when we have to wear our combat vest and helmet plus long 4) but it also means our clothes dry quite fast haha... My section has the added advantage of being right on top of an aircon compressor which send up jets of hot air... So out thick number 4 can dry overnight if there's no rain!!

The sunrises n sunsets are really pretty... If the weather was cooler, it would be like Australia in fact... And we also can see the planes taking off from changi airport into the sun... Somehow it just makes me feel a little happier haha...

Thank God for reminding me of his presence from time to time.. and that I can still find time to read the Bible at night =) That alone should be able to keep me sane...

Have done interesting stuff also... The kinda things which I used to think about doing when I was younger... just that then, I didn't know that equipment weighed so much...

Live firing... Field signals.... taking cover etc etc..

Oh well... anyway am very very tired... so my post should be quite incoherent... Shall push off now... Goodnight!
