the start

the training programme was quite interesting and very different from BMT for the first 2weeks. for the first part, we had damn lot of lectures on leadership. so much so as to the point where many people were totally bored out. haha but i wasn't complaining. as long as i didn't have to go out to the field. leadership field camp was where i confirmed the feeling that my wing was very very focused on training. others were in camo and eating from ration packs while we were doing all our activities with our usual untainted faces and eating fresh hot rations. haha.

my instructor is a very nice guy. hardly scolds people. likewise for most of the other instructors. even if there is scolding, it is kept to a minimun. it's more focus on the training itself and correction if anyone makes a mistake. it is even more evident when i say that i cannot remember being pumped for more than3 times. however, having said that, when it comes to physical training, it is very focused also, therefore it is very tough.

the people here are mostly leader material. however, there's some i cannot undertand how they even came here. take for example, the person sleeping in the same room as me. shall leave the elaboration to casual discussion. haha.

had 3 field camps already. it's a very nasty feeling in the weeks and especially the days leading up to it. can't bath. sweat like fuck. feed the mosquitoes. nasty and unenjoyable stuff. the sense of dread and forebidding. but, i'm very thankful for my wing. as i said, training is very focused. so when we do our stuff, there's no unnecessary time wastage doing miscellaneaous stuff like push ups. haha but then there's 1 drawback and that's when everyone starts being lethargic. very irritating when everybody moves so slowly, and especially taking their time to get the butts off the ground. i dunno... maybe it's the time where some punishment would come in handy and get things moving. not disciplined and definitely not commander material.

many weeks have passed already since the first day here. 10weeks to be exact. wow that's like more by 1week of BMT. and i doubt anybody feels as lethargic as when bMT was coming to and end. and i don't even know it's passed so fast. wow... but next up... field camp again and lots of digging and more digging. ever tried digging a sewage system like in the teenage mutant ninja turtles? i haven't, and i'm gonna be doing that. haha.
