Welcome to the Jungle

Hello... this post will be a little short, because I don't have much time this book out. So here goes...

The past week has been pretty slack, mostly lectures and simple stuff, nothing strenous. The highlight of the week would have to be the Chemical Defence package. We were trained how to put on gas masks and special suits. Its pretty hot, its almost like wearing winter clothing. Imagine yourself wearing winter clothing in 33 degress celcius environment... don't mention fighting the enemy, we can't even march properly...

After we were taught how to wear these cool masks and suits, we were brought to the smoke trainer facility at Pasir Laba camp. We did some exercises like jumping jacks and stuff while being in a tear gassed room. And before we are allowed to leave the room, we were instructed to take off our masks, open our eyes wide and say out loud our respective names and IC numbers. It wasn't too bad for me, I recovered quite fast from the exposure, but some other people were looked as if their dog had died. It was pretty cool training.

This book out is quite short, as I normally book in at 2200. But this time its 1945, sian. The next two weeks I will be stuck on Tekong because of live firing scheduled next weekend. But after that I will have almost a week of off days following Deepavali. Next two weeks will be action packed and very tiring too. Stay tuned...
