Make It 7 To Go

Came back from my high key reservist training and was so tired after that.It was not due to training,but of a long waiting time during out process period.

Anyway,thank God that He had pull me through the tough training and combat shoot.If not,I won't be here typing my post.

Some of the thing I would like to share during my 2 weeks of training:

1. Tackling study and training at the same time

Going for bridging course and training simultaneously is tough.Firstly,the insufficient time to study for my exam.Secondly,the tedious cycle to get myself out of the camp(need to talk to OC,CSM and PS).But thank God I managed to study for my Principles of Accounting during my combat shoot and outfield training during my little free time that I had.

POA paper was kinda okay,it's just the balancing that gives me one hell of a headache.Anyway,it's over.Just cross my fingers and wait for the result to release.Hopefully I can get a Credit or maybe a Distinction.

2. God actually provides

I got 2 souvenirs for my in-camp training.One was a shoe bag and the other was a toiletry pouch.I didn't actually think of how should I use both of it until I realize it when I took a shower the next day.

I desperately need a toiletry pouch because the one that I currently used was in a bad condition.I searched high and low for a suitable pouch but there was none available.The one closest to it was in the form of a medic pouch.

As for the shoe bag,I always wanted a bag to contain my shoes without the use of a plastic bag.I was withdrawn from buying the shoe bag from World of Sports due to no particular reason and was surprised when they actually gave me this as a souvenir.

God,indeed works in a mysterious way.

3. Combat shoot and Instinctive Drill

Combat shoot was very scary.First of all,it's been 4 years since I've fired live rounds and my skill might be getting rusty.Secondly,the commanders are not really well trained for SAR21.

But still,the combat shoot ran rather smoothly.No people was injured during the shoot but there are people who misplaced their bayonets.Till now,I don't know who's the joker who claimed for the lost bayonet which was found by the officer.

Back to the combat shoot,I was hoping to get the marksman for the shoot because it was an easy money(of $200!).I realized that our detail have 2 Bobo shooters who brings down the overall score with more than 5 ammo left untouched.OH MY GOODNESS!

For me,I did alright for my day shoot and was shocked by my night shoot.I scored 15 and 18 for my day and night shoot respectively.I didn't expect to have scored 18 for my night shoot with 2 ammo left untouched.

We had "Iron Lady" for the last day of ICT.This is the first time I did this and the feeling was quite fun,but combat shoot was better.I did okay for the shoot(6 out of 8).Looks like I'm not really that good at doing day shoot.

4. Rambutan and Durian Session

Not really a fruit session,I get to eat the rambutans during our outfield exercise.Most of them were sour and the meat sticks onto the seed.If you want to know which rambutan is sweet,look out for the ants.

I missed the durian session because of my POA exam.Damn!I have to wait for the next year of ICT.


That's all for my ICT.No information was given for the next ICT.I really hope it won't falls on my exam period.
