Reservist

I went for Reservist.. 3rd to 14th Nov.

I thought it'd be relaxing... Holiday camp.. but NO! infact abit "xiong"...

1st week was alrite... the ship was down with engine defect, and so was berthed @ Batam for repairs...
Squadron had no choice but to conduct dry trainings in the Squadron office and some lectures... we had a relaxing 1st week mostly in air-conditioned environment.

The ship was towed back and anchored @ Western Jurong Anchorage on Friday and we took a Fastcraft to it's location and boarded the ship. 1st time after 2.5yrs to be out at the sea... although it was only on a Fastcraft... but the sea breeze was really nice and i really really missed it. Damn... i love the sun, the sea but not the sand...

MV Avatar is the ship's name. It is a merchant roll-roll ship(ship that transport vehicles) that signed a contract with RSN. The ship has it's own crew and we're just attached onboard to carry out missions to sortie. It's rather big... 7 Decks high... lucky got elevator(but very slow and small). It's already 28-yrs old and the CO told us they're building another ship to take-over her. Shld be ready in a yr or so.

Avatar was then towed back to Tuas Naval Base the following Monday, and we started our training onboard. Our goal... to reach Recon 1 by Thursday. Recon 1 means we're ready to sortie for war time, making sure we know what we're suppose to do when we're in hostile areas and when we're hit and fire breaks out.

Well... if we're ever hit.. i think 1st thing i'll do is to cut loose a life-raft n jump into the sea! Fuck! We should be in da middle of a convoy with atleast 6 ships protecting us!!! If we can get hit... means the other 6 WAR ships already gone case... and Avatar only has 2 0.5 MG... wat can we do? Duh~

Ok anyways... the training SIBEI xiong man!
I'm so fucking tired of sleeping everyday... Everyday i get to sleep so much that i get headaches from it. -_-
WHAHAHAHAHAHA!
But Wed was really abit xiong lar... We conducted our final "rehersal" for Thursday Recon Inspection and i was the fucking BA Man(Breathing Aparator) aka fire fighter.. donning the fireman suit and carrying the fucking BA! When i got outta it... i was wet all over... -.-
Thurs was the inspection... i'm again expected to be the BA Man! I thought i'd be sweating like fuck by the time it's over.
But hell YEAH! I was indeed the BA Man... and went to fight the 1st fire scene... but was appointed the casualty!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was attended to and moved to the medical room and SLEPT THERE throughout the inspection... WHAHAHAHAHA!
Again... quite xiong from slping... slp until i got headache again... =(

But i dun think i'll be in this squadron the next time i come back... as my appointment will be removed and i'll be posted to another ship.. *prays it'll be back to my former squadron*

Wish me luck~
