SiTest

SiTest Day 1
Early in the morning, boss was late, so we started our 12km late... Today was the start of Sitest, we were going to march from our Coy to Permantang, Rocky Hill, Wild Cat Junction, Old SISpec, Spinx Bridge and lastly to our campsite. Just before the march, I saw there were alot of ppl on the tonner as they were the advanced party, but I particularly saw Rec L**** because I also saw him skipped the 8km route march. So wad I do is, I got all the Recs except the regulars to go for the march. So the march kick off, KX and Jamin took a rest as they ran abt 15km during Tekong Challenge, so only me, Halim and the new officer.

Everything went quite well especially till the 8km mark, but after abt 10km mark at the Sispec area. One of the kids suffered abit of physical exhaustion and was liked going to faint, after some medical attention by Teo and other professional helps, we decided to drop him from the march because he skipped 8km march before.

Upon reaching, the rest of the company went to settle down, build their basha and eat their lunch. For me, I was liked a father. Haha... Going around, helping 2 of my kids who were suffering from fever and high body temperature, helped apply ice bag on their foreheads. Tried to make them both recovered but I couldn't make the temperature do down for the 1 having fever.

During the night time, it was OC's evening. Not the best I seen so far, but still quite entertaining I guess.... For these batch, their imitating skills are still far away. Lolz! The night ended quite late so I extended their lights off timing but they seems to take it for granted....

Day 2
Didn't get much sleep.... In the morning, I personally did the setting up of the training shed with some help and then we had a 4km fast march. There were basically not enough commanders especially plt 4, don't really know wad the PC is doing, in the end OC went to take over. Maybe they are the known "Snake Rats Gang". haha... Wadever... I also went plt 4 to help, because I'm very close with the PS. By the end of the march, I got 2 field pack with me as some of the kids had difficulties copying with the pace.

After the march, Rec L**** had abit of exhaustion again, pour some water over him to cool him down. Den OC called me and KX over together with 2IC and the new officer, indicating that someone die die must be the SDO today, in the end the new officer go. He create this sh*t den he jolly well go. But things now in the Coy are so contradicting, I rem OC once told me before, "how can you do SDO on a major event day." And now, he allows someone to do SDO on Sitest.

It did not end here... KX was taking leave on Sat because he got something on, den he asked me if I could help him on Sat, of cos no prob. But den OC talked some rubbish again, saying if I were to do, I must do both days. At the same time, same situation on another detail, the SGT is going for medical appointment on Sat so a new SGT had to take over. So WTH..... But I don't mind taking detail, it's better than sitting in the training shed doing nothing.

After my quick breakfest, I rushed to the first station as KX was helping me bringing Detail A there. But I reahced there first, den the accessor asked if I was the OC... Lolz! Think he is the 3rd person to say that to me so far, he also must be honoured to have 2 LTA officer walking with him. The detail did quite well, completing all the missions and reaching back camp first and early, the accessor was really surprised, as he never finished so early before. ha!!!
