A Real Voice From Deep Below

This week is true hell.

Summary of what happened.
Monday : Marching
Tuesday : Marching
Wednesday : IPPT + PT
Thursday : Deployment in MOPP 4 + PT
Friday : Live Infusion (Injection) + A Bit Basketball

And my face is totally burnt, peeling. My arms have 2 additional poke holes. My front stomach area hurts. My right thigh totally hurts and I don't know if I can do my SAR 21 drills properly especially those saluting movements.

The marching is quite grueling this time, especially with the sun. Monday marching in the bright hot sun and Tuesday in the rain. Then this time actually the whole actual parade isn't as long as the SAF day parade, but somehow I still feel that the commands are not very clear (sometimes didn't hear the command then I didn't carry out the drills on time).

Then look at Wednesday. I actually thought I won't pass my IPPT this time (didn't have lots of training and really got very tired because of the parade) but I passed. =) Quite happy with it already. Actually quite lousy results...will try to work harder on it.

Sit-up : 34 (2)
Shuttle : 10.4(3)
Jump : 234 (4)
Pull-up : 8 (3)
2.4 Run: 11: 47 (3) => Total D + 15 (Pass)

Bad things just come one after another. Wednesday and Thursday had a lot of PT, with climbing stairs, statics, runs...then we are informed that we have to take another IPPT. Those who cannot pass will have to stay back on SATURDAY for remedial PT. It's a really big threat.

Then we have deployment. And our platoon short of so many people that we only have to deploy Decon, CAM and Treatment. A lot of people reported sick. Or possibly "sick". Then there was total disaster on Thursday over who should do Guard Duty. It's just - make me again feel very irritated about what is going on for our platoon. Some people just do a lot. Some people just don't bother.

Maybe people may think that...things will eventually be done so why not slack off and let other people do it. But what I think...it's quite selfish. Can't friends help each other? And why everybody becomes so particular in doing work. And the guard duty why can't those people who didn't do any work now contribute?

Friday doing live infusion again.

Sigh.

Can people please co-operate when there's such time of crisis.
