finally, im back home after 2 week!!! and what a 2 weeks it was man...
this 2 weeks was a really tough one... both physically and mentally... first we had our k3 mock up exercise at tuas that last over the weekends... and the moment we pack up and come back to squadron, we had to start cleaning our stores equipments and prepare to stuff them into the containers by this week... and the catch was that if we cannot finish cleaning by friday, we had to stay back during the weekend to finish up the job... and it was no less thanks to "marvellous" planning from the people upstairs...
first of all, shipping dates were only confirm to us this week meaning we had to rush to prepare everything... talked about safety and rushing for time being one of the dirty dozens... if they had planned the schedule properly and confirmed everything beforehand, we wouldn't had to rush like mad and worked till the wee hours of the night every day... that's how gd the planning is from the people who are drawing taxpayers money... and that isn't all that meets the eye... schedules were constantly changing making me wonder if they are really prepared for the trip... well, at least its over and i don't have to stay back for the weekend... my platoon would have revolt if we had stayed for another weekend...
and the equipments are hardly easy to clean... they want it sand and dust free coz the immigration at australia won't let any singapore sand be brought into their country... and it been ages since people last cleaned the undercarriage of our MIs... and so the stains, sand and grease are stuck there... even using fire hose and jet sprays, the particles still cant be removed meaning we had to manually cleaned each and every corner of the equipment... talked about getting high on cleaning... my admin shirt literally turned from white to black...
anyway, the equipments are in and our duffel bags packed ready to be shipped to down under... so yep, another 23 more days to Australia... mixed feelings about the trip really... excited that im going to another country for a live firing but sianz about the fact that its going to be in a desert and its going to another saikang worth of jobs to do... well, wat to do, i only got an umbrella on my sleeves...
booking in later... no offs this week... sianz...
