My last Hand Grenade Live Throw......
First thing in the morning, things went wrong le. Some of us were having breakfest and thinking that the Coy will wait. Who knows, when we got there. They all left. Lucky I was still able to catch the last tonner. And it took some time to get KX, Weiming and Teo to the range.
I was already pissed off with the tonner thingy when I got to the range. When I saw the set up of the place and the slackness of the commanders, my mind just blowed. I had to personally arrange the place, to make it more spacious and realistic. Same goes to the detailing but I don't blame Rizal as he was not briefed properly.
The Live Throw started off abit late due to the setup of the place. Was helping Shah to handle the details when they come and draw their grenade, some looked really nervous, some looked rather excited. After awhile, I went in to sub KX. Did my usual briefing to them when they stand into my bay, den I'll start to chit chat with them to ease their tension. And for a few, I take the time to tell them to change their attitude to the better, cos if they don't.... They will suffer when they post out.
After some time, there was a blind. We have to wait for 30mins until it's confirmed by the explomos. After that, they will use C4 to ignite the grenade. Usually, 10mins is good enough but I guess they also wanna slack. Then I was talking to Bryan from plt 2, a chap I saw at MoS the other time. Had a long chat with him until finally, the C4 went off. BloOmmMmm!!!!!!
The other half of the company was late when we finished, guess there was a communication breakdown. 2IC again.... How slack can ppl be, just look at him and u'll know. Initially, I tot he would help to be safety officer in the bay also but I never see him come. He nids to take care of his problems better and never to mix personal feeling and work together. Haiz... But I guess there's no point also, bit late already. While we were having lunch, plt 3 & 4 was sitting there doing nothing, so I did a revision on what to do for the Live Throw thingy and a bit of safety brief.
I was the demonstrator, thanks to PS Shah for giving me the chance. Just when I threw the grenade out of my hand, I shouted "ORD lo!!!!!" When I walked back, I was called by my boss, giving me a sucky face and asking why I shouted that, claiming that he has told the commanders not to do that, but I don't know a single fark shit ok... Everyone was getting into position except 1 person, a new officer sleeping away on the bench. Then boss was so kind to ask 2IC to ask the new fellow to sleep at the viewing bay and in the end, 2IC asked me la. Ha! Asking me to help wake him up... Wait long long man! I replied, "if he really wants to sleep, he can wake up on his own" and I walked off. This would never happened in the past but I guess, we are all diff ppl with diff qualities....
There was lesser details so the whole process went faster. And the last detail had only 1 person which I volunteered to be safety. Everything was fine until.... He turned and looked at me, giving me a funny look on his face, asking me if he can say, "I **v* PS C***. In my mind, I was thinking... WTF!!! But anyway, I told him that my boss sure scold him if he says that. Then I tap him again and asking him to throw at the same time, but he held back a little and holding the grenade with only 1 hand, it is very dangerous. If it was in the past, I sure scold him big time. Fortunately, everything went well in the end.
Everyone seems to disappear, only left me, KX, PS Shah and some kids doing the clearing up of the places. Actually, I can don't help at all but let's just say, let's go back to camp faster la.... End result of the whole thingy, got slight sun-burned on my face, the reality that the Coy is slack, the unpredictable future of the kids.....
