Ultimate Detachment Challenge
simi si ultimate detachment challenge?..u might ask. its actually a race thought up by my company 2ic to assess the physical proficiency of cdo recruits after 4 weeks of bmt training. and it was done ytd. fr 1630 to 1930.
for this race, there were a total of 4 stations consisting of pt, soc, leopard crawl and finally route march. all are done in detachment levels of 10 men or so..which was also one of the aims~ to see how well we can work together with our own det mates. 3 teams are dispatched at each time to different stations, with 5 mins interval between each detail..upon completing all 3 stations, the final one would be the route march, which is 8k, 2 rounds in camp and one outside.
my team did the pt station first, which was 200 chin ups, 500 push ups and 500 sit ups, and only one person is allowed to do at one time, with an umpire for each team tagging along throughout the race to ensure no cheating. haha, think we actually did much more than the required for push up and sit up, coz we lost count and the umpire made us start fr a number of his choosing.
next we did the soc, by this time, we were quite shag ald, so we choose to do it slow. and anyway, there were still some guys who couldn't clear certain obstacles, so we were allowed to support and assist them.
by the time we were done with soc, we were damn shag, so we juz walked to the next one, a 50m leopard crawl with full pack on. this one, in our common opinion, was the most tiring of all, coz many of us dunno how to do leopard crawl, with only a brief demonstration during the previous night's briefing to serve as a guide..lagi worse with the umpire at the side barking at us all throughout. nevertheless, we still managed to complete it together as a team. hah, almost everyone had abrasions on their knees and elbows..sibei tia.
finally, the 8k route march, this one was quite alright, since we ald did it 2 times before. but the extra exhaustion factor was tt we had to run with our fbo like many times during the march to keep the distance on those behind trying to overtake us and also to catch up and overtake those teams in front of us. end up, we came in position 15. nt too good, but still, the impt thing is we managed to complete the whole race together as a team, helping and motivating one another along the way when it seemed some of us were gg to give up. as a result, our pc, the nv-smile-at-all subaru guai guai, actually smiled at us at the end and told us 'well done'. i think many of us were shocked to see him in this manner, hah.
all in all, it was a fun race, tho it was damn shag, but it helped us build team spirit and esprit-de-corps. however, i definitely dun wan to do it again.
