Grandslam? CSB? 32km route march?

Guess wad? ITS ALL OVER!!!!

haha i have nver imagine i could come so far in infantry. A moment ago i still rmb celebrating my bday at jumbo, still as a recruit at tekong. A moment ago i still rmb the first step i made into SCS and ended up to a rumoured-to-be xiong coy - Echo. A moment ago i still rmb how sad, how disappointed, how worried i was when i was posted to infantry.

And then here i am now- approx one more month before i finally pass out as 3rd sergeant!

if you ask me how i went through all these 6 months in SCS as an infanteer, honestly, i have no idea. Looking back, the things that i went through were definitely tough. the number of outfields, the number of sleepless nights, the number of times im drenched in sweat and stink with mud. Geez. the thought of it alrdy turns me off so much. And Grandslam was the worst, especially dawn attack. marching in complete darkness and rocky terrain was truly challenging. never did i i march in such darkness tht i feel that im almost blind. literally blind. every step i take is full of fear of tripping over some rocks. that moment really makes me realise how a blind feel when they walk. the inconfidence really strikes you when u are out of ur comfort zone. Thats one thing i learn from grandslam. Another thing that i take away from grandslam is that human beings are actually formidable, literally unbeatable, if their mental strength is there and they perservere. after entire night of marching and without sleeping, our platoon actually still have the energy to do a dawn attack in early dawn. that really amazed me. and its not only one night, its two consecutive nights. And on the last day, when we happily cover our shellscrape and thought we can break camp, our PC told us CHARLIE MIKE. i swear all of us were like wdf. serously. when we are all so fking shag he actually wan us to charlie mike? but wad to do? in the end we still carry on. arty drills, casualties, carry stretcher, firemen carry injured, running down the rocky terrain for good 400metres. it was crazy. but still, we did it. everyone was panting like mad, and it was the first time throughout scs tht i saw shag face from jiekang and aaron. its fun to talk about all these shit that we went through, but definitely it is not fun when we are there doing the shit. Miracles can really happen when human are being push to their limits. that is anothing thing i learn from grandslam.

next come csb.the 32km march was brutal.even more brutal when it rain in the middle of the night.shoulder aching and legs and sole on the verge of breaking. really really respect my commando friends who's walking 72km tht very same night. at the 30km mark was wad i dreaded most- river crossing.zzzz after one whole day of marching and now u wan me to get into a smelly water and come up drenched and thn continue my last 2km to the range? thts fked up. when i get out of the pool totally drenched, i seriously dnt feel like walking any more. i stink like hell and the drenched feeling sucks. tht final 2km to the range was the longest 2km.but thank god i pass the shooting at the range and yup, i got my very first csb badge!

being able to survive infantry is really a proud thing. that sense of achievement is superb. now only left taiwan trip. alot ppl say its gonna be fun there, but somehow i doubt so. theres still outfield over there and its gonna be so cold there, especailly at night in outfield. but then i have alrdy gone through so much. wads taiwan?!? haha. hope everything will be fine there and im definitely looking forward to the 3 days R&R in taiwan!!
