My 2nd Confinement Weeks ("Live Range")

Last 2 weeks ago, i had my second confinement weeks. I got confine not due to i did something wrongs but got confine because of the 7Days fieldcamp that start on the 22 to 28 July..

Way before the fieldcamp started, on the first week of the confinement.. I had a chance to fire "Live" round or live bullet that can kill.. I was shaking and excited when i reached the 100m range.. Cause i dunnoe what going to happen whether i have the courage to press the trigger of my "wife"/M16 to fire my first real bullet.. When my details was call to get our 4 magazines (a cartidge that hold the bullet) of 4 rounds each. My hands started to shake, my breathing fasten. I adjust my earplug and pull it in to the fullest to make sure that my ear is protected from the very loud noise.. My turn has come, I go into the foxhole supported position and lay out all my magazines waiting for the zeroing of my weapon and most impt the command to load my weapon. I loaded my first live round of live bullet magazine and put the safe, at this time my heart was pumping at its fastest speed ever in my life. When the command given, i unlock my safe and i aim at the target, i fire off my first shot without much thinking and never realise it at all until the recoil of the weapon pushes my shoulder abit backward then, and only at that moment i notice i fire my first shot..

After a firing 8 shot my weapon alignment was faulty, i was asked to change.. Call it concidence or what.. the weapon that i exchange with, the butt number of the "new wife" was actually my birthday.. Butt no: 233.. I carry her and my new 4 magazines, went in again to the range to zero my weapon.. I fire all 16 shot without having to zero it at all.. it was already zero according to me
For the real test, we were given 32 rounds to fire for both day n night.. 16 shot to pass.. By day time, i have already attain 10 shot.. i need another 6 for the night shot to pass my test.. when night fall.. i dunnoe how many round hit the target, all that i know was for my last 4 shot.. i hit the last target with deadly accurate shot.. At the end of the whole range i think i attain 20 shot out of the 32 rounds given.

By the time the whole range end and back to the company line, it was already 12am.. Can't imagine that we had to wake up next morning and fall in by 6am..

Booking in Soon.. Going for my dinner now.. Will update my blog next week abt the another event of the 2nd confinement Weeks, which is the 7Days fieldcamp.. And also this week booking in event, Sit-Test, 12km route march and the scariest of all, Real Live Grenade Throw on this coming friday (4Aug)..
See ya next week..

My first week of BMT

Last week was a busy schedule week.. When for IMT (Individual Marksmanship Test) and GAC (Grenade assault Course).

The IMT i did quite ok, think hit abt 20 out of 32 shots. My weak point was the fig 15, 1/5 of the whole body, basically is only the head reveal lah. Can't see anything at all when it is at 50m or 100m away only a small black dot. I use my gut feeling and shoot, lucky me i manage to hit 1 out of 4 snap target..

The GAC was a tired one. I leopard crawl with frog and its baby beside me.. It was damn dirty, wet and tired after i reached from point to point. The whole course was 100m. To me it was like 200m, super tired and i can't feel my hand anymore after the course.

Today, going to book in at 2045.. Tml morning going to shot 'live' range.. It's going to be boring cause only get to shoot 20mins and wait for 6hrs inorder to shoot again. Next week is my confinement cause of fieldcamp on the 22nd July, cannot come out. haiz..
After my fieldcamp, rest for a day will be my Sit Test on 31July. Hope that i can endure through both camp.

Hope that my cough will recover before the fieldcamp, being coughing for ard 3 weeks le..

sigh... sick

i have been falling sick since my first bookout.. 1 week le still haven't recover. the cough getting worse and worse of all got a flu..
Last week in the camp, i basically just went there for chalet. Skip all those tough exercises and training.. Found myself so sad, not able to do the same things with the others.

Anyway, going to see the doc the second time, hope that this time round the medicine is useful and i can recover by the time i bookout again on this coming saturday...

Do continue to pray for me... Pray that i can recover fast from the cough and flu..
GOD Bless..
