SO MANY FUCKING THINGS I WANNA SAY THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START!
shall break the post to different segments
so if you want to view what you're interested in
its there!
here goes!
Training in TAIWAN (020809-210809)longstride (navigation exercise) was super fun!
i got to see taichung from bird's eye view
i got to carry super heavy load (about 20kg) up mountains
walking distance covering 50up kilometres!
the whole exercise was just walking and walking and walking
climbing and climbing!
don't know if its a blessing or not
raining during the exercise
it's actually summer in taiwan then
but cos of the moroco typhoon,
raining for almost everyday during the exercise
stopping our movements here and there
making us stain with mud,
climbing knolls and bashing through forested areas were damm F*CKING difficult!
but the overall experience was marvelous!
when you climb for like 30minutes just to reach the top of a knoll
it oversees the whole city
the view is breathtaking and everything else!
nice air, drizzle, cool wind, free from everything
just you and your good buddies
facing out standing near the clouds above you
and when you look down,
the whole world is beneath your feet,
the feeling is invaluable!
our training was disturbed by typhoon said to be
the worse in 50years
but nonetheless our field camp carried on
its always the same thing
damm fucking hot like 35 or 36degrees in the morning 9am till 3pm
and then RAIN!
damm! almost everyday is a wet day during field camp
morning is damm effing cold
that we had to burn candles and wear our gears on
to stop ourselves from shivering
imagine you got your uniform on
a thick vest that allows you to carry ammunition
and 4 sold fuel burning
you're on top of a steep steep slippery knoll
with just you and your buddy
sleeping side by side
because the only place to sleep is only like 2metres in width
you're missing home because its the 2nd week in taiwan
you're away from your friends because your habouring site is different
you're hungry and tired from the training
you're wet because the rain is till pouring
all you have is a none-working groundsheet
a torchlight
some biscuits and sweets
your weapon, your field pack and oh well
your buddy and yourself
its damm fucking morale low!
my load on that day was like 40kg!
i carried near 40kg over a 3km route
how nice! haha!
oh well, everything is over and im glad
i had my fun, my pain, my endurance, my exposure
my knowledge, my friends, my experience
and the best of all
my RANK! haha!
the route to being an infantry sergeant ain't that easy
i'm glad i made it through
ups and downs, in and out
sick and well
im an INFANTRY 3SG now and im proud of it!
ps; did i mention, the cooks in taiwan (a SAF vocational post in the past)
cook damm well! OMG
its always so good to eat food there
nothing can be better after going hungry and tired over training days
and when you see fresh food (not combat ones)
served on the table
you opened your lazy hippo mouth
and there you go
food that taste like restuarants!
thats how well the cooks are!
they're NSmen btw
how i wish there's still cooking vocation now
i wanna learn how to cook nice dishes!
shall go on with R&R, my tour around taipei on the next post
wait it out ya!
pictures are on the way
damm bobby aint online to send me the complete set
so i can upload them on facebook
damm... till then!
i love and hate taiwan's training!
contridiction huh....
i wonder...
to speak is to imagine, to do is to realise
ok this will be my last post in 3 weeks!
i'll be heading for taiwan!
going train hard, and enjoy myself during the last few days!
now now, i'm not going to think anymore!
its too much times that happens
i thought it'd change
but it did not
it never did
oh well, i'm changing this time for good!
useless to carry on!
wish me luck in taiwan!
i'll be back in 3 weeks!
