back!!! 12 days in camp... 7 days out in field...

Ah... the 7days of fun and joy.... One thing i hate is the throwing out of everything in your bag in 1min and pack everything back in 1 min... and repeating it 3 or mroe time... grr.....

next is the complimentary facial treatment you'll be getting there.... green and black camo cream + dust, sand mud, sweat + powder = super smooth skin (like me =D) or pimple plaqued skin.. hehe...

long 4 is good for protection aganist mosquitoe bites and thorns... the black gortex boots rules!!!! they are bloody comfortable~!!!!! wouldn't mind wearing them for expedition hehe..... And the gortex jacket rocks!!~!~! The government really know what stuff to buy for the soldiers =)

food rations were nice at first. Until you finished half of them, you wouldn't wanna eat them anymore...then variuous creative ideas of desposing them starting zooming into our minds... This was taught by one sergent: When "Stop fire, take cover" hehe... you know what to do....

Field signals are fun!! heheh...... my platoon would start playing around with them at company line for a while till they are bored.....

Then.. "Section! Straight ahead! 50! Behind tree! IC move! ON! Men move! RAID! ON! grenade! charge! Stop fire, take cover! ICE! SPIDER! ORANGE!" comes in, made the lesson rather systematic.. but fun

Slacked, when supposed to practice.... not us that slacked.. it's the segents that slacked with us! lol....shooting spiders... catching spiders and blowing them up with thunderflash.... lol.... small kids sia....

then extra 2 confiments for me... haha... nvm.. let not talk about it... all else i'll get more of it.... grrr....

hehe... found out the a fellow togoparts.com forumer(spelling) was in my platoon! Only found out 2 weeks later! lol..... a small world!!! his nicl is Timoxide... lol.... would be meeting him at TEF tomorrowhtne go orchard have some coffee... while wilson fix up my bike.... maybe i would change the spokes and nipples..... heheh... see how then...

oh well... To sum up, field camp brings out the true self of people when they are bloody exhausted and mentally 'disabled'. It's a test of endurance and mentla strength. Saw some rather disgusting sides of a section mate.... behaving like a spoilt brat... screaming around and throwing stuff just because he's frustrated...hehe... intresting yah? hehe... need to sleep now... gonna cycle tomorrow....
