finally, im gg to airborne school, tt is, i'll be booking in at hendon's para trg wing tmr nite and starting my airborne trg monday onwards, and my first jump is gg to be in 2 weeks' time. whee!

honestly tho, i'm a little scared la...since i've always had a fear of high altitudes. but wad the heck, since i've ald made it all the way to airborne course, no sense in being scared or wad anymore, juz go in there and jump! haha.

anyway, the cross trg phase finally ended today, which marks the beginning of our next stage of trg, namely vocational and airborne. the leaders and weapon course ppl are staying over at prc for their vocational trg first, while the rest of us~signals and demolition, are gg over to hendon for our airborne course first. went to hendon ytd for a pre course briefing and also to shift in all our barang to the bunks there. and they are actually nt bad, but ttz probably coz they are newly renovated, thus comparable to our own at prc.

nuff abt tt, we started off this week with our 2 day navex at marsiling, lorong asrama area..and its a fucking nightmare, coz we got fucking lost during the second part of our day, when we did unguided topo in our teams; i led my team to holland.. ok, actually it means we went horlan la..and we had to backtrack alot of distance to finally get on the right track and find our checkpts. and it was raining the whole fucking day, making us all the more miserable than we ald were. nt to mention the full pack with the signal set added in was fucking heavy lor!

the night one was slightly better, since we manage to get back on the rite track after being lost for awhile only, and we got all our checkpts and back to the end pt way before the cut off time. hell, most of the teams, including ourselves, cheated by walking on the track and hiding into the vegetation the moment we heard a hint of any vehicle coming...haha. but still, wad they expect us to do? being noobs at this stuff and all..

well, everyone managed to come back on time with all checkpts found, except for one team~ tango 30, who went horlan sometime during the night and lost their map and signal set antenna in the process. they were finally found somewhere along the expressway outside of lorong asrama, and needless to say, got a hell of a scolding when they were found. they spent the rest of the 2nd day gg back again and again to their previous locations to look for the stuff, and only found the map, but nt the antenna..which is still missing till now..even when the whole company helped in the search after our second day's exercise concluded..haiz.

conclusion fr the exercise..topo really is HELL..think im really gg to die when we go to brunei at the end of the year..since the vegetation there is supposedly at least 10 times worse than here in singapore..hk liao..
