1st Battalion outfield Ex.

Period: Last Sunday to this Tue.

Sux.. gotta book in on sunday early morning to prep stores-- finished packing by 10 plus and waited all the way till 3pm den finally set out for the exercise.. wasted time waiting n waiting for the drivers to reach Bn line..

Deployments for the 1st n 2nd days weren't dat bad.. only till the nights came..
-1st nite: started raining right after we action-front.. instructions passed down to wear rain jackets.. (it was alrdy pouring and doing dat doesn't help much in keeping us dry. -.-").. after awhile when we were near fully wet den they told us to seek shelther in the vehicles. Only had a minimum of 2-3hrs rest before the day break. Shivered all the way arnd 5-6am.. zzz.
-2nd nite: i made a serious mistake of leading the towed gun in the opposite direction.. only to realised it after halfway thru action front.. damn.. got super gan jiong but luckily lao koh was there to remedy the situation for me.. felt super guilty to my men cos of the mistake den the layout of the heavy stores need to be changed 180degrees. Treated it as a serious learning point.. Lucky thing for the nite was that sufficient rest of 6hrs was given.. but all still woke up shivering at dawn.

Packing up, cleaning stores n gun was the faster for my det at the end of the day.. as we cant wait to finish things up and freakin get back to our bunks and rest.
