Way into the wee hours of the night..my buddy and i,after finishing our shellscrape,was digging away at the hard soil and rocks attempting to crave the shape of our fire trench.It was day 1 of our excecise.We dug thru the night,only taking short breaks in between until the next day when it started to rain.We were all drenched and our boots were full of water.We continued digging without any sleep.It was until only that our trench reached waist level that we decided to take a rest but we ended up sleep because we cant take it anymore.Om the end we got ourselves each a confinement when we got caught by the instructors.(they expect us not to sleep for 3 days????)We got up and dug again.Our uniforms eventually became dry.Alot of us gotton abrasions all over our body.I was bitten all over by mosquitos among other bitting insects.Turnouts every now and then when ppl were caught sleeping or not digging.Moving uphill to my trench and downhill to the RV pt during turnout was really unbearable even so due to lack of slp.4 days of pure torture.I will nv ever dig again.
k tmr im going to dig my way until thursday..god i hate trench digging..

At the parade square..dressed in my no.1..walking down the stairs...k i need to concentrate..don't swing my arms.Don't clap.Once the guy in front of you marches up the stage,walk to the stairs.Halt.Walk up the steps,don't bounce.Halt again.Ok,they just called my name. Take 7 steps and halt in front of the BG.Good evening,sir.Hmm,he has grey hair.Wonder if he's retiring soon.He just handed the sword over to me.Stick hands out.Grip sword in left hand,curl inwards and hold tight to chest.Right hand guides sword inward so it doesn't obstruct when you swing your right hand.Extend right hand for handshake. Thank you sir.Sidestep slightly to the right, take 9 steps to the edge of the stage.Halt.Walk down, halt.Walk to the first row of seats. Halt.Walk up the stairs,don't swing your hands.Reach your row, halt.Walk back to your seat.And before i knew it i was a commissioned 2LT...

Monday 290205
I was awoken at 3.30am.Everyone was shouting and i could hear my instructors fucking the whole platoon and asking us to fall in at the platoon common area.Everyone was in a daze and naturally our movement were slow and this thus resulted in we being punished excessively.We were made to do ard 200+ push ups and crunches.After being physically abused for ard 20mins we were made to do 'changing parade'.
LTA Dyson:" 3mins! u all better change to yr PT kit and fall in and give yr strength! MOVE!"
Now it wasnt about how fast we can change or how fast we give our strength..we reckon that no matter how hard we tried,we would still get it.And so it was true..even after fallin in at the give timing we were made to do push ups and situps again..we were then give another 7mins to change to our full battle order and draw our organic weapons.We thought that we were going str for our field camp which was only due the next day..we then proceeded to wing parade square where we were made to do our technical handling tests on our weapons.We were even made to do push ups in full battle order.After all that..i thought it was going to end but i was wrong..we then moved off in tatical movement around SAFTI doing ambush missions and then followed by artillery drill in which we had to casevac a few of our platoon mates for 5km!!The ordeal finally ended around 9am...and when that was over..my wing commander said to us...
"Welcome to OCS.."
Now it wasnt just this..the next day..we went for our platoon field camp.The 1st day was ok..we had ard 5 hrs of sleep for the 2nd day we were deprived of any.We had to move out at 2am and then march to our objective which took ard 5 hrs and at ard 7am we reach a the top of a steep hill where we waited to commence our attack.The normal routine of chiong sua followed until 10am and we went back to wing line and continued the day's activities and training without any rest.Well the next best thing was..the next day we had our SOC! 1x full rundown + 4-11..for those ppl who dunno wad it is..4-11 or 7-11 refers to the clearing of obstacles.For eg..7-11 means clearing of the 11 standard obstacles 7 times in a row..well basically everyone's were having blisters due to the excessive usage of the swing trainer..
Had less than 28 hrs of sleep this week..
