Field Camp Conquered!

Haha... Back from 7 days of field camp, finally its all over. All the memories there will stay with me for as long as i live. It is there where i learn how to be a fighting soldier. What we do in camp was just physical training. Give us a rifle each but not teach us the method of firing or aiming is simply useless. We learnt how to fire in a group, how to evade an enemy and also how to charge at the enemy when we are being ambushed. My friends all agreed that we look more like soldiers now. Before that, we only knew how to run, do chin-ups and carry weights. Now... We are able to pick up a loaded rifle and defend the country when the need arises. One of the most memorable was trench digging day. We dug for 12 hours before we knock ourselves out in our own trench. Photos were aplenty as my bunk mate brought along his camera. Once posted will copy the link here. The sad thing about field camp is that we will be going back there again soon. But this time it is for test. Field camp is to condition us for the wild and allow us to be familiar with the so-called jungle. The next field camp will be a 3 day Situational Test, in short Sit Test. At the camp, we will be tested for our leadership and analytical qualities. Proving ourselves to be a good leader for future soldiers. Hope it won't rain for the 3 days. Just glad that we are back in civilization. As one of my friends would say... Im finally back to civilization and may require some time to adjust back to it. - _ -|||
