JCC LO

Guys, GUESS WHAT?
SOMEONE IS FUCKING BACK FROM BRUNEI.
AND SOMEONE HAS A FUCKING BADGE!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I'm back people!!!
I miss Singapore like crazy.
Especially the people here.
My family and friends.
24 days in Brunei isn't a joke.
It definitely was an eye opener experience for me as I've learnt a lot of things about myself.
There are mainly two parts of training to this Brunei trip.
The first is called the infantry package and the second, a 9-day JCC course.
Both parts were nightmare for me.
And I'm really damn glad that everything is over.
I've been through the toughest shit ever in OCS already.

Let's just briefly talk about this overseas training.

INFANTRY PACKAGE-
It was a tough outfield for me. Like seriously tough. The terrain is different and the load is definitely different. Carried a lot a lot of shit during this phase. I tanked matador for first 3 days and MG gunner for the 4th day and MG LINKS for 5th day. It was really one of the most heavy load I've ever carried and I would say everyone agrees with me cause not only my pack was heavy. Quite lucky I did not get any appointment for this outfield, if not sure damn stress hahahahah. Yup so my infantry package ended with tears in my eyes. Cause I was so shag and my in grown toe nail is hurting like a bitch. And also, all the muddy and slippery terrain was finally over (at least temporarily).  It was really good that we didn't had to wear helmet again for the next few days.

JCC-
This 9 days course with my detail has trained me hard. I've become a tougher man. I really don't know how to start this. The feeling is still so fresh in my mind. All the hardship and all the sufferings. So what I've decided to do is write down what I wrote down in my personal journal throughout the 9 days (with no edits)

Day 1- Check point 1
EX NOMAD DAY 1 was so mike low. We had to backtrack so many times. Carrying the signal for the team is no joke. Tired and low morale. Luckily we found our 1st checkpoint CP NEED. We are currently harbouring at the top of this knoll where our CP 2 is supposed to be. Sadly, we still can't find it. Hopefully we are on the right knoll. And more importantly, pray that it doesn't rain tonight.

Day 2- EX NOMAD DAY 2
At 1am in the morning, NAT wake up as he heard some movement near our harbouring site. At first, we thought it was some Ibans walking around turns out it was a huge wild boar the size of a cow. Comms back to Foxbat, loaded safety ammo & waited for BOAR to leave. Fell asleep, woke up at 0430, saw JM starting fire. Mike average. Hopefully we can find CP2. Moving out soon. // Found our 2nd C.P!! Headed to MP. Fount LTA Jonathan, so happy to see him. .71 knoll was shag. Found our E.P!! Skipped CP3 & 4. Headed straight to Pant Suit (E.P) Harbour.

Day 3- Nomad / Explorer transition
Just came down Telugong by super steep ridgeline. Harbouring at the bottom of Telugong now. Feeling so pissed off at the fact that I can't start a proper fire and can't make a proper chrysanthemum tea for myself. Physically so tired but mentally confused whether I can pull through this. Damn pissed off at myself for spilling that chrysanthemum tea. So hungry right now. Shall sleep. / Woke up with the rest of the details and left for LP 169 together.

Day 4- Mount Fucking Biang.
After finding LP 168, headed to 169. It was a long and tiring and thick bashing. At one point, I headed SW direct just to reach the river. Used parang and try to push the way out for the detail. Turns out the river was chest height. Rabak max. Hor lan like fuck but manage to head to Biang. Headed to top of Biang from 1509 to 1655. Damn fucking shag. Saw PC2 and then headed towards 4B direction. Right now harbouring with the whole of detail 6. Feeliking mike high! Ginger lemon tea rocks!

Day 5- End of Explorer
Finally found the time to write my journal. Now 12am ++ in Forager site 4B sitting with JM, Melvin and Guo Wei. It just rained so heavily, got so damn wet. Ass is so wet now. Coming down of Biang was shag. In grown toe nail and abrasion is being a bitch. Slight arguments and disappointment cause we missed 10 points by half an hour? Forager has started. Swam across Batu Apoi and was so shag. Built the base of the A frame already. Just enjoying the fire now while survival mode is on. Miss home so much.

Day 6- Ex Forager Day 1
So much for looking forward to Forager. Now I'm hungry and lonely. Morale never so low before. I really want to go home soon. Really miss home. Just ran out of commscord after tying the 4 support poles. I really don't know how to survive 3 more days of JCC...

1620- Just finished roofing! On to fire place.

Day 7- EX FORAGER DAY 2
I'm currently writing in the dark at 12am. Just tried to help Melvin with the signal set but apparently the 840 is spoilt. Writing under the moonlight, still missing home but less low morale. Most of the task lists are done. Hopefully my trap will catch something tonight. Anyway there's really a lack of CB leaves here, damn hard to make my roofing. Hopefully I pass my assessment tomorrow. And hopefully, can read what I just wrote. 2 more days to end of JCC!!

Day 8- WOW! Last NIGHT!!
Finished Forager lo! My monitor lizard trap didn't catch anything, the bait got eaten. Damn. Found more CB leaves in the morning. Finished up my roofing. Just ate cold/warm maggie & raw potato with maggi msg. Never felt so glad and relaxed for the simple meal I had. Under the temporary shelter now with Guo Wei. Whole body is wet caused it rained damn heavily from 1730 to 2000. Shall have an early night and finish JCC tomorrow! Tomorrow's breakfast; LOR MEE x 1
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
JCC lo tml!

Day 9- (i didn't write anything cause it's fucking OVERRRRRRRRRRR)

Hope this gives readers a better idea of what happened throughout this 24 days while you all are enjoying your life out here in Singapore while I'm suffering there. Hahaha. Most of the nights are cold and wet and hungry. But it was really a damn good experience but just like all the other instructors said, no one wants to do it again.

R&R yesterday was actually quite fun. Went to lan and played CS 5v5 with some wing mates. Lolol. Then walked around and shop a bit at THE MALL. The one and only mall with the one and only Macdonald there. There's a supreme mcflurry that is milo - flavoured. NOT BAD but not worth $4.70 hahaha. So had buffet for lunch and dinner. Fucking full. LOL. And yeah headed home and just touched down 7 hours ago.
Shallchill at home fpr the morning. HOME SWEET HOME.
