yozyozyoz....
my 1st post here..quite pleasing to see tcc blog been established...hope everyone is doing fine.
well, life after tcc, particularly in 40SAR ARCHER coy, isnt very same compared to life back in tcc. my coy currently got 6 3SGs (4 tankees & 2 AIs)...life now is rather slack cos ARCHER now dun haf any man, as it will be taking bmt (ptp) batch tis coming december. i feel tat im quite fortunate to be taking bmt cos it has always been my dream to teach recruits (not to tekan them thou, haha)...however, dun be too envious of me so much cos there are quite a lot of bad points regarding taking bmt batch. 1st, bmt in 40SAR wld to similar to tat in tekong, teaching infantry stuff, & after being learning solely armour stuff since june, i haf quite forgotten abt infantry stuff, so i tink tat wld be a problem for not me alone, but oso the 3 other tankees (loon ann, joel and valmond), just hope the AIs know their infantry stuff ba..2nd, bmt batch will last till next yr March, so from now till then, all the BOS, weekly & monthly servicing will be done by just the 4 of us, worst still, 4 tankees just to handle 4 tanks, quite taxing on us (but we are considered lucky cos the 2AIs haf 8 ULTRAs to handle, even more taxing on them)...3rd, cos we wun be doing armour related training from now till March, im afraid i mite forget most of it...4th & the most worst part of taking bmt batch is tat we haf to work 5.5 days per week & there will be quite a few wkend confinements, similar to bmt in tekong. imagine how it feels like to see my fellow conterparts in BRAVES & COUGAR booking out every friday while we still stay in camp..
so right now without any man for me to take charge, life is abit slack, but not as slack as u tink...cos my company only got 6 3SGs, almost all of us will haf to do COS duty once a week & till now, I haf done 2 days of COS duty when ppl in other coys haven even do theirs...COS duty quite shiong oso, everyday haf to reveille the coy, do cookhse duties for breakfast, lunch & dinner, take charge of the keypress & the armskote = most-easily-kana-extra responsibilities, sometimes go for flag raising (not for now) & flag lowering, staff parades (not for now too), etc..too much things to do...
ya, and 1 funny thing abt the 6 specs in my coy is that out of tis 6, 5 of us haf PSPs & we wld be chionging it, esp at nite after office hours & if u happen to pass by our bunk, it's not uncommon to hear us scolding vulgarities in the bunk. haha...
arh, now it's oreadi november, probably the 2 2SGs haf oreadi ORD n very soon it wld be the other one's turn, nvm abt tat cos next yr arnd tis time, we wld oso be getting back our pink ics & celebrating our ORD..hope tcc1/07 wld be celebrating together ba, haha...
till next post, sayonara!
ah gwee =)
