Yes.

Unit life is damn slack. But that is because we havent gone to the outfield trainings yet. So, a few hours of extra sleep here and there everyday doesnt hurt does it? But of course basic discipline still applies and we're still fked when we try to smoke our way thru things.

Apart from our usual weapons training, I've been picking up alot of things about life from our commanders in camp. And my platoon mates are equally educational in their daily conversations. Here's why.

Commander (who had been enlightening us on the need to understand how our weapon works instead of memorising the facts by heart):

"The reason why it's so important for you to know, is because it's important!", all the while maintaining a matter-of-factly expression on his face. Good job!

During a lesson on detecting faults in our weapons...

Sergeant; "What's the sequence of actions to detect faults?"

Soldier: "First, check the last 2 ejaculated rounts."

*Everyone around the table bursts into uncontrollable laughter*

The correct answer was to check the last 2 ejected rounds. Gratz to the poor soldier. I wonder what he spends his free time doing.


----------------------------------------


Of course, our commanders also have many lessons about life to teach us, often in an indirect way. One such lesson was on the virtue of patience.

Sgt: "Wait lah! Be patient lah! Even f**k also need to take off clothes first right!??"
