7 day field camp
day1 - 5km route route march to the rubber plantation, kinda tough cuz of rifle sling and field pack abrasions if u dun wear it properly.... smeared some thick green gooey stuff on my face ( camo ), fortunately, no pimple breakout after that ...... but it becomes quite gross if u happen to eat green bean dessert with the camo on, seems as if u r eating green camo i guess... lol
rubber plantation used to be the shellscrape and fire trench digging site till one batch iunearthed skulls ( probably human ) while digging.. so they hold it now in reclaimed land area where they know what lies beneath... ( hard ground first , then loose sand and more sea sand ). buddy swaets at the slightest bit of physical exertion, but oh hell, would be wearing that infernal long 4 for the next 2 days so hu cares?
spent 2 nights in rubber platation
day 3 night - again another march to oil palm plantation, more freeky than the rubber one, some of the tree trunks are quite hollow, but u wouldnt want to shine a torch at them at night.... assigned to do literal sai kang for the whole company to shit during the days there, looking 4 ward to day 4 ( technical break, first wet bath!!! )
day 4 tech. break
day 5 night - 2 of my platoon mates went to shit at ard 4 plus 5 plus in the morning, something weird really happened, heard muslim prayers in the distance but they didnt know where it came from, apparently other platoons heard it as well while they were going to the toilet area ..... call of conversion to islam maybe? i dunno, and never wish to know
day 6 - a few click march to reclaimed area .
` i came, i saw, i dug ' made the smallest but can still fit shellscrape for myself, very stingy tts y?
some looked like king size beds, tombstones and even double deckers beds ... haha
fire trench was quite easy to do cuz of the loose beach sand..... no skulls found fortunately, but we found some combat rations dating back to aug 2004 ...... apparently the plastic they use is non biodegradable.......
day 7, battle innoculation course, leopard crawled, back crwaled with live mg rouds firing overhead, but they went out of ammo while i was halfway through the course...
went back company line --------- break camp
