Searching for my way of life ...

5 more days to POP! SCORPION!

omgomgomg 3rd of Dec is coming :D last week quite relax but is a very important week whereby after free sessions of IMT we are now going to LIVE range firing LIVE BULLETS and tracers which seems like starwars at night where u can actually see the bullet flying with your naked eye cos of the light given out by the bullets.

I can tell u, no other shooting games in the world can compare with live firing with tracers at night in tekong. You can actually smell the smoke given out by the bullet with everyshot and each of us wears ear plugs in order to protect our ears from each shot from the rifle. One funny thing in the range is that our sergeants didnt bring any ear plug and then they use empty rounds to stuff their ears instead thus looking quite comical lol ^^

after the live range comes LIVE GRENADE THROW which is on wednesday, its the first time i ever throw a practice grenade and a real grenade and its also the first time where my throw actually hits the target block landing just at its feet ^^V! i can tell u the real grenade is nothing u see in the movies, its a lot more scarier. Each blast of the grenade gives off shockwaves and ppl few hundred metres away can hear it and feel the impact on the ground. when the grenade explodes, black smoke actually forms 6 metres from the ground immediately with a flash of fire. its ball bearings can actually hit about 5 mm+ into bullet proof glass and each grenade has about 700-2000 bearings, ensuring that the enemy will feel damn shiok if hit.

Had CO evening and games day with all the other companys from School 1 and 2. Making the week a very memorable and enjoyable one, whereby whiskey and scorpion booing each other when encountered. My company scorpion is considered very lao lan as we call Alpha (Ah Gua), Bravo (Bapok), Whiskey as dogs, viper as earworm and making enemies instead of friends everywhere lol

Time really flies, since the first day where everyone are strugglin with NS training and trying to adapt to the new lifestyle, helping each other going through each and every obstacle and tests we encounter, fostering strong bonds among each other, few days more and all of us will part but the days of being a "Scorpion" will nvr be forgotten.
