Updates

Haven't blogged in a while due to my sickness. Recovering but still down.

This past week has got to be the most tiring BMT week till now due to SITest and route marches.

Field camp and SITest are both over. Now for my re-range, IPPT and SOC. After that, we all wait for 110308 to arrive.

R.I.P

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. The brutal crash that took the footballing world by storm. The one single error that crippled one of the footballing giants, bringing it to its knees. The world stood still.

It killed some of United's greatest players such as Eddie Colman, Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne and the great Duncan Edwards. Today, as we prepare for Chinese New Year, lets take a minute to think of the Busby Babes, and wonder, what might have been. What success they could have achieved.

Sick

Yesterday I was not feeling well since the morning. Constantly took my temperature. It was constantly hovering around 38.4 until just before dinner when it hit 38.9. My section mates then got me to tell the officer. I was then sent to the MO and then got Attend C till wednesday.

So ya. I'm home and have to take a concoction of 7 different types of drugs for my throat infection.

BMT

Life has been reasonably good in BMT, apart from my knee which has been giving me problems and my strained right wrist and left bicep. Recently tweaked my left calf also. The training has become tougher and the commanders have come down harder on us.

Oh. And now we have no nightsnack. Super sad man.

And I still have problems on the SOC. Just cannot pass the swing trainer. No idea why.

On a much brighter note, I am now able to do three pull ups. By no means will I pass the IPPT diagnostics on CNY eve, but at least there is improvement. Hopefully the PS will allow food in soon.

Oh. And I got marksman at IMT. Now to replicate my results for range.

Will update more on CNY eve which would be my next book out.
