who loves army infantry life?

28km road march right before our parade in specialist cadet school.
Over at kranji war memorial. We had a parade at the memorial to pay tribute to those who fought and died during the japanese occupation, that place were the first area where the Japs invaded us during WW2.
After the parade, everything on, our 28km journey started ard 7pm. The black line which i drawn was the route we walked. Holy shit, the first half was still tolerable as it was along kranji damp, sungei kadut industrial areas where we walk on normal civilian roads.
The mixture feeling of anger, impatience, exhaustion all came when we enter the forest. (green part of the map) roads were uneven, even with our boots on, long hours of walking and heavy loads, i can feel my sole seriously painful. I asked my mates ard me, everyone experiencing the same thing. Everyone grumbling and scolding the oganisation. The ground of big cement-like rocks (not like those small stones we can see in our neighbourhood parks for elderly to do foot therapy)
As you can see, the 'last quarter' of the route was a thin man-made coastal path. Our last rest point was at the 'island' between the two tiny lines. I remembered i was tired enough, i did not refill my water even though i have finished my 4litres water on me.
Our end point was right at tuas checkpoint, while walking on the narrow coastal path, we could see the lampposts of malaysia 2nd link and lights from tuas checkpoint.

But the feeling was really shit, i am not exaggerating. I know my steps are not stopping, we have been walking hours and it seems like we couldnt reach our end point. 3am 4am and it seems like we are stationary and the endpoint is always away from us.

Finally the shit was over, time was near to 5am wednesday dawn when we reached tuas checkpoint. Buses brought us back to pasir laba camp and had our ceremony parade at 8am, had lunch and got our posting.

Thank god, i am posted to somewhere which many envy. Airforce as a air crew specialist. Near to 1200 sergeants, about 50 out of 1200 was posted to airforce, and among them only 6 were aircrew specialist. 2mths of BMT enhanced batch in tekong was hell everyday, then much slacker in scs for 2months.
No more camou on face for days, digging holes in forest, lying on the muddy shit soil whereby you shine ur torchlight and you see insects crawling around, rainy days in forest making whole body shivering, charging into thick vegetation with insufficient rest, midnight 2 3 4 5 6am not sleeping but to prone in total darkness guarding trees. Days without bathing, great smell and mud all over you. Too many shits to list out.

4months served, 1 year 6months more. Goodbye army infantry life, im out.
