Reservist Updates Part 1
Day 1 - 7th Jan 2008
I woke up to the sound of my alarm and got ready to go to Clementi Camp. I needed a change in my uniform top as it was too small already. Parents dropped me off at Clementi Camp just in time. "Checked In" as usual and walked towards the In-Pro area and saw 3 ex-musicians from the SAF Bands - Shawn, Albert (both from Band B) and William from Band A. Got in-processed and found out that there is no bed for me! So I left my stuff at the Commanders Bunk while waiting for a room.
At 0900 hours, the whole battalion went into the auditorium to be briefed on the different things to be done when we are in camp. I was sleeping for most of the time as the speakers were quite monotonous. After everything was complete, we went for lunch and after lunch, we drew arms which we to be used later for the Change of Command parade. Rested for a while before we went for a couple fo rehearsals. I forgot to mention one thing : while waiting for the speakers to start, I was told by Zac that the 106 has been phased out and after he told me, I wondered what would happen to our platoon.
The COC parade was quite tiring and I actually dozed off while standing in the parade! Once the parade ended, we sent arms and went for dinner. Nothing unusual happened after that. I decided to report sick tomorrow as my cough wasnt running away and my blocknose was still there. Slept at around midnight.
Day 2 - 8th Jan 2008
Woke up at around 0620 hours this morning, did the usual routine and went down for breakfast. Later, I met Yusman and Zac and we reported sick together. Waiting at the Medical Centre was a pure nightmare! We waited for almost 5 hours to see the Medical Officer! During those 5 hours, we went up to the bunk for a while. 1/2 hour later, Zac was worried that our number may be missed and so the 3 of us wlaked down to the Medical Centre to see our number. When we were there, it was only number 5! Our numbers were 44, 46 and 47. We waited until Yusman & I were so bored that we walked to the canteen to eat something.
When we came back, the number was 27. At least not so bad lar. Finally, it came to my turn and I saw the MO and told him about the problems that I was facing. MO then gave me an excuse from IPPT for this ICT. Went back to bunk, changed to smart 4 and had lunch @ cookhouse. Rested again after lunch and went down with the rest of the guys to do some work for the Pioneer platoon. Finished work @1730 hours, went for dinner and prepared to book out as we had nights off. After dinner, we all waited for the green light. After green light was given, Terence gave Yusman & I a lift to Little India.
Reached home, dropped off my new uniforms, surfed the net for a while and at around 2230 hours, Monie dropped me off at camp. Talked with a few of the guys and slept at 1 am.
Day 3 - 9th Jan 2008
Woke up at 6 plus this morning, had breakfast and then slept until 1125 hours where we had lunch. After lunch, it was rest until 1500 hours where we completed the joining of the remaining zinc sheets together. I took a shower once we went up and then went down for dinner. Had last parade at 1930 hours. Tomorrow will be cohesion day. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.
Day 4 - 10th Jan 2008
Woke up at 0628 hours, did the usual morning routine and went for breakfast. After breakfast, I spoke to Pang about stuff and it was great talking to him. After lunch, we rested for a while before changing to PT attire as the dress code for the cohesion day to be held at East Coast Park. I brought some clothes back to be washed as well. We were to play Futsal for our cohesion day. Our first game was against Bravo and how rough they were! I was only in for a few seconds and then I got injured =( We lost to Bravo 3 - 0 and then drew with Delta 2 - 2. We were out. The final was played between Alpha & Delta and what a goal feast it was with Alpha winning by 5 goals to 3. Nizam brought me back to my place where I bought dinner and relaxed while waiting for him to pick me up later at 2015 hours.
Reached camp at 2048 hours, had our own company cohesion and slept at around midnight.
