My 4th In Camp Training (6th April - 8th April)

Finally went through. For the past 3 days (6/04/09 - 08/04/09) I was in reservist. Really sian lor, we spent a lot of time waiting, because of lots of coordinating to be done from the top, then to the commanders, then to us (the men). The process can take at least 30 mins to 2 hours. Then after the command is given to us. Normally give us 15mins allowance to prepare before fall in. And it takes another 15 - 30 mins for the UNCLES(us) to "deli-thereli". Therefore, I think a lot of time can be save doing other things.

Look how is it done ==> 1 hour (avg time for top to decide on message) + 20 mins (for men to get ready) + 20 mins (for us to fall in) == Total time wasted about 1hour 40 mins.

And that is only 1 activity, and for the time we did nothing but sleep. LOL, imaging I can sleep until headach and fell sick eventually. Seriously wasting our time and tax payer money....

Only the third day, which was yesterday, we had IPPT (Indivual Physical Profeciency Test) this was the most feared test among the "uncles". hee hee but this is the test I earn money. hee I every year get a sliver for the test. which army pays me $200 as a reward. $400 for Gold. (but of cos I not that fit) Hee hee.

I took the station like hell. 4 static station(sit-up, pull-up, Shuttle-run, Standing board jump) and 2,4km run. Now aching everywhere. haha... my timings....

Sit-up - 39 times (1min) - 5pts
Pull-up - 11 times - 5pts
Shuttle-Run - 8.7 secs - 5pts(haha I think company fastest)
Standing Board Jump - 243 mm - 5 pys
2,4km Run - 11 min 26 sec - 3pts (required below 10sec to get gold)

Haiz only the run kills me.... If I can only run 1min and 26secs faster. I can earn $200 extra... haha. anyone would like to earn $200 in 1 min 26 secs ???? Haha train my running..... LOL
