Ok the internet connection is back..

Tons of email..I wonder how would it be when I leave for ROC for 3 weeks.. Confirm bertepek.

Yesteday was damn seriously LOBO at work. Even the clerk had nothing to do. SAF can be seriously a joke at times. When there’s work, tons of it come in one go, but when there’s none there is really nothing to do..

Anyway I’m just waiting for Friday night. Basicly packed up most of the stuff that is required for ROC..What else yah to do? Ahh SAM website. Ok lah this Asyurah and Haikal, have been sending huje pics. Tak tahu nak compress dulu ke. Jam sak email aku. I’ll try to finish the website by tom. Tom i’ll be on leave anyway..ok people just watch out for www.pbmuks.org/sam tom midnight.

Emails..hmm..probably i should start sending tons of emails to my clients and friends. Nanti ada jer cakap aku tak responsible. OKOK..what else yah..leceh seh..somehow i wish i can pay someone to do all this..aku goyang kaki jer..hehe…pemalas nya aku ni…

Today..ahh..went for ROC briefing and submitted my bag of equipments. I thought the empires were a small group but my god it is inclusive of OPFOR. This is a company of trained enemies plus drivers and NSMen (not sure what these guys will do). Gerek sak reservist gi Taiwan.

Ok ok basicly i should explain what i’ll be doing in ROC yah. OK I’ll be there to empire a simulated war called ATEC. I cant remember the long name for it. There will be a batallion of soldiers whom will fight a company of soldiers.

just figures..

Batallion - 600 ++ people
Company - 100 ++ people

So ATEC is a simulated war created to test a Batallion capabilities in war. Basicly it is similar to a real war but this time round they fight with blanks and wireless equipment that could detect bullet shots or grenade fragments.

The Batallion will be tested based on the knowledge of the weapons and their fighting capabilities. These tests are taken seriously. No joke. I heard of cases where Half Colonels kena Hentak kaki for not getting their batallions to do well.

Enemies trained by the Singapore Army itself (they call themselves ATEC team or OPFOR). These are the people who are trained to purely defend and to fight other Army Batallaions for testing purposes. They are also called Agressors. These tests are confidentially done only within Singapore Army and never done with other countries. Simple reason, if others know, we will be dead cos if they know how good or bad we are then it would be a problem yah. You do the maths…

OK so I’ll be following a platoon of soldiers to see how they fight and also test their knowledge on certain aspects of fighting..Macam aku pro gitu eh..tak ah..ada list to follow..hehe…i’m just the bad guy who will say they do well or not..heh.

Sometime i wish i was the one leading the troops but yeah my time is almost up..Empire pun empire ah…at least i’ll be in jungle hat walking around.

Taiwan taiwan a new environment…something which i’ve been asking for a long long time…to travel and see the world..even though this time its free and harsh but yeah at least its different..
