Close Call

Things to update this week...

Finished man pack exercise... Amid the 60kg load, I still find it rather easy... Some of my course mates were struggling throughout the exercise... Nevertheless, I'm glad everyone completed it! Can't wait for the photos to be developed! I did alot of stupid stuff and they were all captured on the camera! Carrying the load while I ran to take cover when we got "contacted"... Hiding behind a tree with my missile carried horizontally... A cross-like figure was formed and it looked hilarious... The commanders laughed but there weren't any bushes for me to take cover! In addition, I was in a position that I can't even bent myself down to put the missile...

I'm not sure why... but I realise sergeant Frans seems to enjoy picking on me... He seems to enjoy stressing me, pushing me mentally... Whenever our detachment makes mistakes for our deployment, we run around the hangar with our SBO on... The moment I'm seen running at a slower pace, he shouts, "Guobin! I don't want to see you running at such a slow pace!"

What I've accumulated this past 2 weeks from him...

*working on engagement sequence* "Guobin! Don't disappoint me eh..." SUPER STRESS after that!
*morning run* "Guobin! You ran so slow today! Trying to tickle me ah?"
"Guobin! The first 2 detachment I took for man pack exercise gave me lousy standards... I don't want to see you whining like them *acts out the whining sound* You better give me what I want...
*doing SBJ* I jumped 230 for the first time! (No fault at all!) "Guobin! Not counted..." Records the 2nd result which was 220++ :S
*Struggling to hold onto the fluttering kick position* His favourite sentence to everyone! "Guobin! Say you like it!"

Nearly fell into the pit of the rooftop access while doing rooftop deployment exercise... Thanks to the ingenious architectural design of the rooftop... Pipes were connected everywhere we walked... It was a close call... A really close one... sergeant Frans saved me and I think he hurt his pinky finger abit... Even though I whine and complain at times, you really push my limits and keep me motivated... Thank You...
