Lancer Training

Have been reading my Sister's and a new friend’s blog. Its quite interesting actually. So, i've decided to create my very own blog. It begins...

Singaporeans have been taking many things for granted. The allowances kids have. The washed clothes, ironed and hung in their cupboards by mothers. The roof they stay under... everything! Even I at times also took all these for granted. But whenever I, or rather anybody who come to Brunei for training, everything just changed.

Weather is hot and humid. Its always super hot in the day and will definately rain at night. Yah..thats Brunei Darussalam. For the past few days, my Wing has completed all the numerous recce, Platoon Battle Course (PBC) and guided navigation exercise. Now Its their own show. 5 days 4 nights of navigation on their own. Last year i went in with my cadets... not an easy task at all. we have to cross numerous mountains and hidden knolls, just to find our checkpoints. Not to mention all the thorn plants, fallen tress, dead falls which were obstructing our rate of movement. Good luck to you all, cadets!

Soon, we will be transiting to our next phase of training. All including Instructors, will be walking the “7 wonders” (7 knolls actually) and Mount. B in Company level. We will then fight "Cynthia" and that’s it for Lancer training! All of us are just looking forward to the 25th August. Everybody just wants to go home fast…. Especially the Instructors… Cadets had their RnR to look forward for. But we instructors know that actually the RnR in Brunei…Is M&M.. (Mosque and Museum)!!! Lets all evacuate from this country fast!

Had a small chat with a group of my fellow colleagues. Delta WSM just cracked a joke. Saying now must minimized on vulgarities. The moment he said that we all laughed! Of all people he is the one who is the “most not qualified” to said that! Haa…

The interesting part of being in the force is you get to meet many different types of people with different personalities and characters. But we still can work as one! (or must work as one??)

Going for a 6km short run now…stay tune!
