42nd BSLC in Sispec...9 weeks of Sispec is over...next week will be my last week in BSLC...though it is just 9 weeks, it seems so long for me...but life in there i guess is much better than bmt actually...perhaps is becos my coy got a very gd OC ba...always there to motivate us;though some dun really bother. he gave us a lot of welfare man...slping in training shed during field training...haha...never expect such gd thing...the only regret perhaps i had was not expressing my interest in wanting to crossover to OCS...sad~ but i guess i will get over it after i got my new posting...praying hard not to get into ASLC...haha...anyway i am glad too that i pass my IPPT with gold and pass my SOC..SOC actually i hope to get better timing but afraid that i will fail if i take again...haha...as for ippt, quite frustrated on how i jump 234cm on my test date..i can hardly jump there now...the most painful thing is hearing ppl saying my gold is fake one...hai~ really hope to go back to silver since i am not capable...
starting from 5th week of my training, schedule was so tight that most of the people do not have enough slp...field camps,live firing and navigation...talking abt navigation, it is really hard to do so in "small garden"...wat i mean is imagine in the jungle/forest, trees are everywhere...u r to find ur way tree the jungle to get to the checkpoint...a small deviate in bearing and not calculating the distance properly can make u get lost in there...and the funny thing is, once the group get lost, the next thing they do is scold, "where the fuck are we????!!!"haha...everyone is tired and dun feel like walking...this is where u got to see individual character...and worst thing is map do not show wat trees are available on the map... the thing i hate abt field camp is u do not get to bath and eating combat ration, no bed to slp and doing things at night is so diffcult...
during the 5th week of my training, i was being appointed as a LSM, Leader Sergeant Major...basically i am to take control of whole coy...when i took over, i was so stressed...becos most of the warrant officers will scold u like shit if things are not done well....but becos of this stress, i guess i did quite a gd job as my platoon sergeant said i did quite okay...however, my communication skills got to improve...haha...for me, when i try to shout things out, ppl can hardly catch the words coming out of my mouth...tat is where is need to improve a lot according to my section commander...anyway holding this appointment can be fun if u see it as a way of learning new things...not everyone get the chances to be one..thus being able to hold such a appointment can train urself on leadership skills and getting to know urself better...
physical training is sispec can be tough but tinking after the training, i will improve my ippt give me a motivation to do it well...there can be a lot of running...sianz,shag but all running are gd to me...anyway i feel that training in this aspect is quite minimal in my coy liao...my OC see that our physical are better than previous batch, so reduce most of it...however, as time pass, we are not improving, just maintaining...previous batch of ppl are improving every week...thus i recommended in my AR tat more runnning and physical training shld be given to next batch of trainees...haha....
talking abt food, services in cookhouse 3 i believe can be improve more...the queueing time is a bit longer than tekong...food were quite nice for the first 3 weeks...subsequent weeks, the food is so boring...everyday 3 meat,1 vege and rice...no noodle or other thing special...food sometimes is nicer than tekong's...sometimes not really...cut fruit always not enough...eg. watermelon...this will never happen in tekong...thus everytime got cut fruit, u can see everyone trying to faster go grab one...
next week will be walking my 28km graduation road march...hate it but have to go through it...thereafter, i will officially promoted to my corporal rank, my first rank in NS...my words to those going through BSLC next time, enjoy it...training can be tough but at the end of the day, u r a better person... when u got a gd fitness level,u will feel a satisfaction and, u can walk around with ease...u r proud to be one of the fit guys around...those wanna crossover to OCS from Sispec, work hard in physical aspect and be sure to grab every opportunities to be an appointment holder(LPS/LSM)...when u got it, perform it well...prove urself...most importantly, EXPRESS UR INTEREST...try to do well in all test...
