OKok,pple have been saying my entries mostly on clubbing so i shall now talk more about my course in navy bahz.
My course is sea soldier course.Alot of pple first impression is that it is just another guard position.But they are wrong.My course is relatively brand new coz we are recently brought under navy wing.Last time,it was under army.WHich mean navy base protected by army personnel so now SAF changed the system.Our course is physically and mentally tiring.We haf runs in the morning den swimming in the afternoon.Eg.We have to swim in long fold for about 100m then thread water for 5 min. and den haf a confident jump of 3m high platform.Timing for running 2.4km must be below 9.45 min.We have fire fighting course,how to deal with bombs,chemical warfare,urban warfare,basic seaman course etc.Our course is very all rounded which is good coz we learning things that are practical in our life.After pass out,most pple become guards.Some may be posted to sea and some posted to land.For rest,they can go for the sgt course which is 4 weeks and another 4 wks of on-the-job training.The course itself is 3 mths.So total we need 5 mths to become sgt.
For my batch,it is kinda special.Directly posted to sea soldier course only haf 16 pple.I one of the 16 la.But the next day,we have about 58 pple coming in from the combat system side coz that side overflood with pple so navy posted them here.But normally for this course,we will haf coporals to hold posts in the squadron but this intake dun haf,so the 1st 16 pple who directly posted here become the i/c of respective appointment.of coz,we abit angry coz some of us hold double or triple posts while the rest who posted in late dun haf to be i/c.I go haf a chat with the sgt.Den they seem to be hinting that we 16 pple have chances to be sergeants and that is why we hold impt posts.For sea soldier,best to hold as sgt.Firstly,pay is good.Additional 50.Secondly,if got pple confinement,u might be spared unless u on duty that wkend lo.Tat is why i decided to push myself to be sgt.I mean Navy specialist,how cool is that.
Another good thing is that we get to book out every fri. evening den book in sunday night.Food is good.My sleeping quarter freaking near sea.If i throw sth out of the window,it will confirm hit the sea.Sea breeze is good.If anyone wan to listen to sea winds,feel free call me.Thirdly,alot of free time.Normally,we be given free time from 6pm to 10pm lo.4 hours!!!WOahz.Can watch tv and stuff but training is extremely tough.
But one bad thing abt this course is that they gif confinement like as if it is free.Imagine u confined.Can only go home at 7am on sunday while others book out fri. afternoon.The feeling damn freaking low lo.So i decided le.My main aim is to get thru the course without confinement.haha.........
