Monday
Hoo Yah!!! I be back!!! The beginning of the week was rather ok. Parade on Monday..Boring!!...Had SOC trial tests too....I failed!! by 9 secs!!! why? cause I had to wait for some guy to try and clear the wall 3 times...damn....But oh well... Leg hurt after that..Old injury..remember the earlier posts bout me landing wrongly?...Yep
Tuesday
.... then we had a IPPT trial test the next day, but I got myself outta that..Leg hurt...no way I could run...So I sat there with some others like a dodo and watched the rest do it....felt weird...
Wednesday
Then the IPPT test came the next day...I cleared all!! haha...my 2.4 timing improved, on top of the usual other beneficial factors like I've lost weight, gained more muscle and my abs are peeking out!!!...ARMY IS GOOD!!! Hahahahaha!!.
Thursday
Whoa mama...this was one shaggy day...Had IFC lessons in the morning...then we had some practical..had to rush back to bunk and get ready for the 16km route march..there wasn't even enough time to prepare. Like taping up my feet with medical tape and stuff.. I got picked to be the front scouts...which meant I had to walk with some other guy and my sgt 70-100m ahead of the entire company....no slowing down....but managed to talk nonsense with my sgt..haha...Sad he will be leaving us after BMT or something...I'm damn sure he's got alot of experience to teach...anyway..the first 8km was on...2km into the remaining 8km, I started to get blisters...oh yeah...at the 4km rest point..my feet hurt like hell.....I had to force myself to walk the remaining 4km back...and that's only 16km...we still have the 24km one. 36km in the next phase and 72km before we pass out...blisters galore my friend....I got 6-7 alone on my right foot and 3-4 on my left...and both feet have nice big ones at the balls of the feet...every step...see God....
Friday
had some PT in the morning...the crunches and dips were ok..what hurt like hell was the duck jumps and jumping jacks..I couldn't even walk properly and here I am jumping on my feet...And then we had more IFC lessons...after lunch, it rained so we ran to the MPH to continue. After it stopped, we went back to our company line..during the run up the stairs, I felt this tear and wetness...back up...I removed my boots and saw two wet spots on the left one...Yup..I burst the blister from pressure...And I got heat rash too....whee....
Saturday
Had the 1.5km SOC grading test....puked before and after I ran....blisters agony, but I managed to force myself through it..Don't know if I passed yet.... Then we went to SDC...looked at exhibits and stuff...waste of time...the finally let us go around 1540hrs...man..that sucked big time!!! No time to even go to church....went out with my friends for dinner...one of em is flying off sept 7 to study. Went to pasta fresca..and then a ice cream buffet..haha...make your own..It was rather fun...hahaha.
Sunday

This upcoming week...a small portion of brimstone is coming..I heard monday is relaxed cause tuesday - thursday I got a field camp in marsling..damn....but a little birdie told me I get to book out early this week...hee hee hee..and Can someone please confirm with me this new 5 day work week rule...seems from sept 4th we get to book out friday evenings....DANG!!
