here my posting abt life in NS...having Modified Basic Military Training (BMT) at tekong for the first two weeks.. its confinement week as wat they called it as adjustment week and i think the real confinement will start after that le..haha hope i won't tio ba... anyway feeling quite bored in army as we are doing alot of things tat are not our own will... as my pres status is C1L1 so means i still have to do IPPT.. and a surprising thingy is tat my company got a total of around 200+ ppl n onli 18 of us have to do LOL...haha "so called elite of our company" haha..anyway the real reason is becoz tat the 18 of us suppose to be at Viper company but no place left for us so bo bian have to join in Ulysses company. How we were split into our platoon is based on our pres status, those with pres status like mine or slightly lower are in plat 4 with me and subsquently get down to plat 1 who are those with pres status C9... some of u may be curious wat is all these pres status all abt... for ur info pres C means u have some kind of problems in ur medical history tat cause u not to be 100% fit for phyically training..therefore, the army caters another set of training for us..
the worst thingy happen which make me damn sianz on the first day of enlistment as plat 4 is situated at the top lvl of ulysses company which is lvl 5...imagine running up stairs all day round..haha..omg.. the reason why plat 4 is situated at the highest floor is due to our pres status..so called lower pres status more healthy with lesser medical problems..damn it sia as most of my plat mates having knee injury lor.. u can imagine having to climb the stairs every time whenever u go up to rest n change ur clothes...n some of them have worsened their knee injury condition lol... lame rite.. the part tat i dun like abt army is tat u have to wait to rush n rush to wait.. doing things that quite ridiculous sometimes...however, everything needs discipline n u have to make sure others do the same thingy... n one person got it wrong, everyone kena punished..haha tat's army...
the first two week of confinement is an adjustable week and therefore, army guys have to eat 4 meals a day including supper.. however, supper is abt 1 to 2 hrs from dinner...imainge u haven't even digest n u have to eat again.. haha...those big eaters will like it but for me, i dun enjoy it as u dun get to eat at ur own pace n u have to rush to eat fast if u are a slow eater..haha lucky me..
most of the ppl in our company except those with excuses have to draw arms, which means tat they will be issued with a real rifle of their own..and ppl will called it their wife (lao po) as u cannot lose it or damage it as u will be sent to Dention Barrier(DB) or tio confinement if anything happen to it based on the seriousness of the incident.. tat why its called ur wife for army ppl as u cannot lose it and have to take care of it whenever u go..haha..
another funny thingy is tat some of us worry tat we will get constipation as our eating habit n variety changed during the first two weeks of army..some of my plat mates really didn't produce any waste for 3 days but u can see their happy faces when they got their toilet roll on their hands when they are ready to produce something haha..damn funny lolx... and here's the place tat how i dislocated my shoulder again..damn stupid tat caused everyone in my plat and others to laugh.. this incident happened on the second last day of my confinement week and it happen after drawing arms.. as i had normal morning stomachache after breakfast n we have to draw our weapon before going up to our bunk and after drawing arms, i run upstairs to lock my rifle in my cupboard before going to do business.. sianz thingy is tat alot of ppl going to do business too lolx n our lvl toilet is packed and i have to move down to other storey to find a available place..however, i didn't manage to find one n have to go back to lvl 5 n one of my plat mates came out of a squating cubicle which is the one i dun like as u need to squat.. n i really cannot tahan le so went in to do my business... the feeling is good when everything is out n i won't describe as u will know it urself when ur waste is successful landed haha... n when i wanna stand up, i dislocated my shoulder le..damn rite.. lucky my right master hand allow me to clean myself n wear my shorts or else i dunno how to call for help le lor somemore in an enclosed area... i moved downstairs to call for help n was sent to see the medical officers (MO) at the medical centre. The stupid thingy is tat when my sergeants asked how i dislocated my shoulder and when i told them abt it, they laughed and some asked me hey u PCC in the toilet isit...damn it manz still say its a chargable offence in army if u do tat... i wanna laugh also cannot as when i laugh my shoulder hurts.. den i told him u can go check the toilet and maybe u still can find some of my waste behind..n he asked me u didn't flush the toilet arh..n i said got la but maybe some leftovers marks behind..hope ppl not eating their snacks or food now..haha..
another damn lame thingy is tat i have to walk towards the medical centre which is quite some distance away and the sergeant who brought me there asked me to walk faster and i told him cannot as walk fast i feel the pain lol... i even have to ask the sergeant to help me wipe my sweat in my eyes..u can imagine how immobilize i am when my shoulder dislocate..haiz.. when i reach tat medical centre, a senior MO saw me and asked me wat happen so i told him i dislocated my shoulder..n he told me to wait awhile as he will ask his MO to help me take a look. n here wat we said:
senior MO: wat happened to u?
Me: i dislocated my shoulder..
senior MO: hmm..u wait awhile i go ask my MO to take a look at ur shoulder..
Me: ok..
senior MO: so n so (forgotten the names of the two MO).. help him take a look at his shoulder..
MO: wat happened to ur shoulder?
ME: i dislocated it jus now
MO: is it ur first time dislocated ur shoulder?
ME: nope, its a recurring case..
MO to senior MO: his case is a recurring shoulder dislocation wor
senior MO to me: eh.. i need to let my MO settle down first so u have to wait awhile more..
ME: ok..i wait for awhile den
MO to senior MO: ok let's go for breakfast den..
when i heard breakfast..i feel hey wat the toot...i waited for another half n hour in the cold environment before the MO came back to attend to me.. n when he relocate back my shoulder, it took him less than 2 mins LOL... damn it lor... can't he jus relocate back my shoulder first before going for breakfast sia.. cause me to suffer in pain for half n hr... after tat i still have to wait to take x-rays n checkup... stupid wasting time sia as total staying at medical centre is abt 4-5 hrs lolx.. damn it sia... i had to put on sling for 5 days somemore n was excuse upper limbs activities... damn sianz lor as the next day is individual marksmanship training (IMT) and i cannot take part shooting the computerise target...sianz 1/2 sia..
