Hey i'm finally back from the first hell week of ADA's ADWO's training. Training there is by far the worst i have experienced. Can u imagine that only 3 men, are used to push a weapon system weighing 6.5 tonS? Oh yes, that is what is happening behind the walls of the base everyday. We had just started pushing the gun system out of the hanger on thursday. Started at around 1plus since then on, we had just been pushing and pushing and pushing the huge monster out of a slight depression or something. By the time we had actually ended the day it was already like 2330? Oh my god, i was so tired that i had to use my helmet and my head to push the system cos my arms were too exhausted. Not to mention that we had pull up regimes both during lunch and dinner. 2 sets of 12pushups along with 2 sets of 20 pushups. Ok. 20 pushups are nothing but not when u are doing it as a group and the everybody is just too tired to keep their "butts up". Admin time there is also minimal. 30-45mins everday will be given. But within that time frame, we are supposed to finish eating our supper, bath and writing our journals. Basically thats the only things we could do within such a time frame. I couldnt even talk to my parents for the whole week. A little too much there dont u think? Sigh what to expect? We are supposedly the commandoes of the air force. On the brighter side of life, perhaps i could make it to sentosa after the course with a better body frame? hahaha.
Oh although training there is tough, guess what? i had actually put on weight! 1kg. hahaha. Anyway i couldnt make it for the squash training today cos the commanders seemed too preoccupied during the morning and had pushed the pushing activites in the afternoon and that delayed everything. Booked out at 945. Wth. how to actually get to sp in time. Sian. Cant they actually give us early book out as an incentive? Perhaps the only incentive that we get everyday is to know that there's always good supper waiting for us. Hahah, this is one thing i must admit that the air force is really gd at. Seriously until now, i still cant believe the fact that for nightsnacks, everybody is given 3 different types. For example, last night we had, banana cake, vanila cream bun and 4 slices of bread with cheese. Goodness right? On the first day, we actually had cup noodles and i was totally stunned. haha.
One thing to add about my platoon. On the first day of enlistment, we had a total strength of 31 fighting fit guys and now guess what? We are left with a mere force of 17 fighting fit guys with a total of 13 guys on status and 1 OOC as he is leaving for the pilot vocation. Great isnt it?
Section outing also happens to be cancelled as there were no replies back from the guys. haha that i must admit is pretty demoralising considering that i had really wished to meet up with the guys. oh well. what to do.
