Section Field Camp

finally a long weekend break. the field camp at tekong was super tiring. wonder why the 4km route march was so shack, maybe cos our field pack is much more heavier with added weight. anyways the campsite was at the OCS training shed. large area for tekaning. but at least the tekan i tasted is much lesser than the other sections cos of my instructor, he trains us in a way whereby he don't do the stupid stuff like casevac. he teaches us in a very effective way and i'm sure me and my section have learnt to be section commanders. the 1st daywas quite an experience, 2 NAVEXes (navigation exercise), both "holland" (meaning we got lost). the day was alright, cos we could see. but the night 1 was a supper killer, it was dark, we couldn't see clearly, the terrain sucks and the vegetation was super thick and we had to bash through. then we finally saw light but..there was a fence, so we had to go around the fence and finally get out. we were the last section to arrive at the meeting point for both day and night, i suppose LTA Sam was very disappointed. day 2 was totally on section drills, all the section drills were taught to us, run and prone run and prone. day 3 was the actual NAVEX and guess what, my section came in overall 1st. haa, before we moved off we can see LTA Sam was like super worried, that actually made me feel that i'm lucky, cos he's really a good leader and i'm gonna be like him 1 day. anyways i'm glad we came in 1st and made him proud. the 4th and last day we spent the morning doing our summary circuit, something like a test in the section drills. then packed up and moved off to TFT (Tekong Ferry Terminal). we managed to board the 1600 fastcraft and reached wingline at about 1730 then we cleaned our weapons and cleared all the stores, thats about it for the field camp..there's actually more to it but i'm kinda lazy to type it cos it can go a long way..just a summary will do.
