In camp training no. 5

Venue: Hendon camp, Tekong, Wild Wild Wet
Duration: July 16 - July 27th



Ict has indeed been fun. Carrying that wonderful 12 kg machine gun (that's right...the real McCoy...the one you think its all so cool to carry in Counterstrike you video-gaming pariahs) for mission really saps you of all your resolve. Ugh. All those moments of walking through the semmingly endless trails of jungle came flooding back, with the "yoke of slavery" strapped around my back.

Its kinda surreal to see that everyone's kinda move on with their careers at this point in each of our lives. We've (most of us) progressed from waiting for A' results to trying to carve out a career. Lots of my mates driving their spanking new rides into camp.

Anyhows, its great horsing around with the usual suspects. Heaps of fun and also heaps of "army-ish" moments when you feel like yourself running the clock down. It all ended with a rather "gay" outprocessing. We were told to finish our reservist training with a compulsory outprocessing procedure at (wait for it.....) WILD WILD WET. Nonetheless it was great fun though a bit too school boyish at times. Never again will i "wild wild wet " with a group of guys again... ahhaha
