Back into the Jungle

Hello... it felt almost so unreal... just after 2 days in Tekong and we can book out again. I think if someone asks me what my favourite hobby is, I will say its booking out.

Anyway this quick peek out of Tekong will be verrryyy precious once again (although all book outs are), because the next 2 weeks will be spent in Tekong in one shot again. I'm wondering why the other companies don't have to be confined 2 times during the course, and yet they are finishing their syllabus faster than us. Is is the higher command's planning at fault? Or is it that Charlie company just simply shiong?

Anyway, I'm beginning to feel numb to being in and out of the jungle all the time. To me, when I'm in the outfield, time seems to fly. The next 2 weeks will be THE 2 weeks of the course. I will be tested both physically and mentally. We will be like soldiers in war time, rotting in the jungles, sleeping with wild boars. Actually I look forward to it all, and hope that time flies like it usually do, for me in the jungle.

And, I will be serving an extra guard duty after the 2 gruelling weeks, which is dated on the 19th. It was probably because of the time I was caught with dirty boots during first parade... By the way, this will be my first time doing guard duty since I enlisted haha... Actually if I was not caught with the dirty boots I will have managed to evade doing guard duty for the whole of BMT and SISPEC throughout, as I am an armskote assistant in SISPEC. Over here, armskote men do not have to serve regimental guard duty. Oh well too bad...

Catch me again on the 20th, if I come out of Tekong in one piece... there will be lots of exciting stuff happening.
