FIELD CAMP has officially ended for me! I’m so glad that I made it through and survived it. but there were really extreme high and low points during the camp and our platoon really gel well during the whole course of it. Out of 7 days, it rained 4 days and rain plus sand and soil in your clothings really made me very uncomfortable and cold. Even the very expensive goretex raincoat is not able to keep one warm. But if there’s no rain, it’s not memorable, no tekan session, it won’t be called field camp.
In the past, we think that our bunks is pale in comparison to our house beds, cook house food sucks, but once you go outfield, all those are like heaven. When it rains at night, we will be shivering and sleeping. The true spirit of field camp is to do self-reflection during the course of it and learn more about myself, my mental willpower and how I accomplish objectives in stressed situations and more, I see my friends showing their true abilities.
I see a lot of similarities in both field camp and the Maldives trip.
There are a lot of digging. Field camp, we dig soil, using entrenchment tool (chunkcoal, I dunno how to spell) in Maldives too, dig sand. Now my digging skills has improved tremendously and next time if I get to go back Maldives again, I can help them dig faster.
(heard that they are not going to kudafari this year le.. I so miss that place!!!)
Like what my sir said, he saluted the Bangladeshi workers for their fast digging skills.
Lunch time and dinner times were the best times of the day, where the platoon sat and munch combat rations. I dunno what to say about combat rations except that when you are hungry, even the lousiest food tastes nice.
After this field camp, it made me cherish more things which I took for granted.
today was book-out day, all my frens get to book out at 830, but the selected us had to leave at 645 to go aeromedical centre for medical check up. and that check up will take abt 4 hrs... hell! when i reached there, my first feeling was to shit, cause after 7 days of field camp, all the stool are not properly released, so a toliet bowl will be helpful. then when i finished, the guy told me, go to blood/urine test station. SHIT! i jus peeeeeed. how, squeeze out the last juices from my bladder. and i tell u it's really pathetic.. blood test was even worst. they filled up 2 test tubes hhalf-full of my blood! but generally the whole trip was quite fun, except quite time-wasting...
take a look at this, quite funny.. but i totally agree wif it .

Nevertheless, the situation is set, and I can’t change anything, I just hope for the best!
I really want to go for the Asian aerospace exhibition.
