it's good to be back, mentally and physically drained week. i can't think and work proeperly now. sunday alone was a killer, a series of 1min ins and outs, not the sunday i expected. monday was full of practical lessons, hot day. tusday, IPPT test, got gold, and the gold comes with a bonus 200 bucks! a pat on the shoulder for me. wednesday and htursday, superbly shagged, considered my first engineer outfield exercise. landmind field camp, no sleep, enitire day of digging holes to place mines. area of ops, bigger than a football field. on thursday itself, we did the landmine cluster, the ground, stoney! imagine the sparks i see everytime i whack the changkol into the ground. darn hard to dig. the moment we went back to camp, after finishing settling all the stores, i knocked out on my bed. slept for around 5hrs or so and here comes the next day. today, lectures in the morning, i was practically sleeping, or dozing off la. afternoon, practical test, still sian, but by evening, load stores for monday's live firing. super high mood, why? cos the faster we finish loading the stores, the faster we get to book out. fair enough, we got to book out after the stores were loaded up. that's the tough week i've been through, and more to come. but due to the training i can confidently say i've gotten to be much more fitter than i used to be. cos of all the training and push up regimes and stuff. and my endurance level, higher, much higher than before. but still, i'm only human, still trying to cope with the life in ETI. give me strength!
