Spec Course
Woohu! Finally back to my comfortable home! On 9 of June to 12 of June, all of us went for a specialist course in pasir laba camp. We need to go through this camp to be promoted to a Sergeant rank. You might think that this is just a camp but this camp is a hell to everyone!On the first day, we assemble in the discovery centre. Then, we went up the bus. Within seconds, there we are! in Pasir Labar camp!
We have to move to different groups once we reach there. My group is Foxtrot 1. What i hate about this is that we have to be separated from our friends and to meet new friends.After that, we move back to our bunks.We went for hours of lessons on stripping of rifles, immediate actions and field signals. The lesson was boring but since it is important, we can't slack.We spent the whole day listening to the instructor lecturing abt e importance of all e things he taught. SIAN!! Anyway, at night, we took the GSK(General specialist knowledge) test and it was a piece of cake! , i can't really sleep well and only slept for 3 hours.Poor me!!
The second day
We woke up at around 5am to revise all the topics! I was like damn scared, scared that i will flunk my test. At 6.30am, we fall in and have our PT. After PT, we went to have our train fire test.This is crazy man!! It took around 40 minutes before my name was called. The first station was stripping and assembling of rifles. My stripping was okay but when it comes to the assembling i cock up! I LOST MY RETAINING PIN!!! You see, we need to strip the rifle within 1 minute and assemble it back at 1 minute too. BUT! after 1.5 minute, i then found the retaining pin! IT'S IN THE RIFLE,STUCK!! DAMN IT! After that, my immediate action was okay.My IFC( Individual Fieldcraft) was fine and it was damn easy. The next problem i face was the next station, TARGET INDICATION. I was giving a grandmother story to the instructor and he give me that shit face.SHIT HIM!!At night, we had a PT test. I manage to do 34 sit ups and 39 push up within 1 minute.Actually, my sit up was 39 but the SIR say "YOUR HEAD NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND, MINUS 5". SIAO ONE! The Hwa Cong beside me never even let his head down and he just ignored him! STUPID GUY!The Third day
The third day was a relaxing one since our test are all over. We went to the IGTS( i forgot the name.) room and played with all kinds of weapons.(Not real one but shoot and look like real). After that, we went to the discovery centre and army museum for some activities. That night i slept damn sound!!The last day
The last day was what i was looking for on the first day of spec course. But, that day i felt unbearable to leave the place. We shared our swat and joy there and now we are leaving, wat a waste! Anyway, we receive our certs and join back to our school platoon. Wei Seng and Adib got a 2nd Sergeant. Then, Darren, Wei Seng, Benjamin Cham, Sotong(i donno the actual name), Nasir and i went to Mc for dinner. We pour out our stories and in the end of the day, I feel that spec course was FUN!
