field camp
Sunday, 8 June 2008
wow long time since last posting. maybe update with my long delayed field camp experience =]
Field camp is really a tough time for me. That’s when I realize a few more things about myself under stress. The 8km route march nearly wore me out, together with the baking heat from the sun. Then there was tent building. The ground was so hard and one of the tent pins isn’t in a good condition. The harder we knocked, the more it bent. The worst part is that irritating rifle which we had to sling while knocking in the tent pins. It kept moving around even when I had it tightly sling. Finally, I place it on the floor and kept my leg in between the sling and the rifle. Even then, due to my short term memory, I soon forgot about it until platoon sergeant reminded me of it. Needless to say, I was in for guard duty that night. The night view of the camp can be intimidating. It was so dark except for the light that emerges from the commander's tent. I had my first experience of powder bathing and many guys naked with me. I never knew that it could be so important until the end of field camp that I saw the heat rashes on my body. The first sleep was also not very nice. I thought with my experience in NCC sleeping in my school’s field would get me accustomed to the hard and rocky ground, but it didn’t. I would wake up with numbness here and there and adjust myself to relieve them. With my bunk mates talking about sergeants stunning rifles at night, I got afraid of landing in another night of guard duty and hugged my rifle to sleep, magazine in my Load Bearing Vest. Though nothing went on that night, I came to know that one of the sergeants indeed tried stunning one of my platoon mate’s rifle in the middle of the night. The guard duty was like the previous that I served, prowling around. I also landed myself to another round the next day while talking to my platoon sergeant leaving my rifle a short distance away for a quick question. I came to know that even that was not the acceptable behavior the hard way. With 2 nights of guard duty, I lacked sleep and mood turned a little foul. Still, I pulled through the 3days in the camp site. I was also made famous by my manager Mr. Leonard Teo, who volunteered me during a lesson. It was also at our camp site where we had our fire movement practice. It was pretty fun, and I learnt how to clear double feeding and triple feeding, though it still required a long time to clear. Moreover, I had to force myself to prone on the grasses, upon all the insects that may be crawling under. There was also this latrine area that we used. I managed to shit on the second day! Wow I can’t imagine myself squatting in some shit hole that contain other’s shit as well. It was an interesting experience, and also seeing flies around, I learnt to shit and shake my butt at the same time to prevent any from landing on me! There came Group Battle Course (GBC). It was the highlight of the entire camp. We went around clearing danger areas and moving tactically. Then we took cover when there was noise of vehicles nearby, bashing into the vegetation and prone. Then there were some vegetation that was not good for bashing and I had to run along the way looking for one. One of the bad points is that we lose communication easily under cover, and have yet to get over the problem. Then it poured heavily. The road was all filled with potholes with water, and I just ran across them. This caused my boots to be soaked in water after awhile. There was also a period where we were held up as others were using the same route (which is lame, but no choice I guess). My group and I found some cover behind the trees and we sat to have some snacks. GBC finally ended with a test. Sadly, I had to prone a few times in mud and soggy sand. I was all wet. Our new camp site was near other camp. I miss bunk life. So near, yet so far. We ended our day sleeping under canopy. This time I got afraid of insects as the ground is still damp and it’s really a forest this time (the other being a former rubber plantation site). I kept my helmet on for fear of things dropping on my head, and I can also minimize exposure of skin. It turned cold in the middle of the night, and I tried to just keep awake for fear of getting a cold. My body got over me, and I gave up, rub my hands together, tugged myself and tried to sleep. I woke up a few times before it was finally the time to wake up. The event for the first day in my new camp site was to dig shell scrapes. We spent the whole day just to dig it. The worst part was that the rifle had to be sling to us. In my first try I nearly had an outburst because of my irritating rifle. I thought to myself: what for letting my emotions get over me and continue digging? Then I decided to take a rest once every few moments of digging just to clear the mud on my boots, which made it very heavy and injuring my knee. I also took the chance to helmet-off to cool my head. Taking my time to dig of course had its downside. I soon got very bored of it and was digging with less zeal. Still, I managed to get it done, unlike my PC’s first time when he dug for 2 days. One thing I love about shell scrape was that compared to other ground, its cozy. With a little insect repellent over my body, I’m unafraid of the insects around and set myself to sleep. Even when it got cold at night, it was still manageable and I slept soundly. The only downside was that every one of us had to do those guard duty thing in the middle of the night. The second last day was mainly uneventful. We had lessons, took our test, and the rest went to the camp site to slack. Well for me, I had it better. We had fire patrol, which was for those who fail GBC. But anyway, I had a number of experiences there. It was there I saw my platoon sergeant grabbing my comrade’s helmet and shouting at him. He seemed to keep doing it. Maybe he has a fetish for it. Anyway it was there that I ran into a large spider the size of my hands! It was once where we were taking cover when I felt my face went in to some web. Then my comrade saw the large spider on my head and attempted to brush it off with his rifle. What went across my mind at the time was: SHOOT IT WITH THE BLANKS! He failed in his mission, and the spider was there so near my face! I yelped and jumped around, attempting to hit off the spider with my rifle butt. Then I ran out and took off everything. The spider was no where to be seen, but I don’t want to see it anyway. The third special experience that I had was to be involved in bee drills. Not really bee drills, but my on of my comrades ran into a bee infested tree while taking cover and got a sting. We ran like with was artillery strike in the air for around 100m before the sergeant with us told us to stop. We went back to take a look, and indeed there was a hive. There was also an insect on the ground which turned blue-black and squirming around on the ground, swollen in size. It was disgusting, but nonetheless interesting. It is a pity that no camera is allowed on the island. The last fun experience during the fire patrol was the part where my comrades and I gave our all into the stimulated game. We shouted out loud, we did our prone regardless of the ground (I’m so thankful for the insect repellent. It made me daring.), and we did our drills correctly. The whole fire patrol ended with an artillery drill. On the last day was Battle Inoculation Course (BIC). It was really nothing much but leopard crawling and back crawling and machine guns firing overhead. It was the most tiring of the entire camp! It took so much of my energy that I had to recuperate every few crawls. And finally, it all ended.
