You guys must be wondering whatever happened to me? (that is if anyone cared...) since I hasn't like update my blog for almost 2 weeks.


Well, as my title has suggested the answer I will not be explaining further. What I will like to explain or rather yak about is my new unit - Air Force School.

First let me tell you about the schedule, there are basically 2 shifts. Shift A & B. No use knowing which shift I am in as both shifts are the same. (fyi I'm in shift B.)

My duty is a Mount 1 day Dismount 1 day. In the army Mounting means to work and dismounting vice versa. Now most people will immediately claim that good what and some might add on slack right at Air Force School.

Let the truth be known, indeed Air Force School is quite slack in terms of doing duty but... in terms of the number of hours of rest is not slack at all on a normal working day. (psst.. weekends & public holidays are super slack!!!) Good that I work up 4 days and 3 days alternativetly every week.


But do realise that whenever I mount I have to report @ 8am and dismount next day 8am. Take for example 13th March 2005 I report to work at 8am. on 14th March 2005 I finished work and immediately went home to sleep for about 2-3hours cos it is inevitable to missed the morning wee hours shift. Then if I'm lucky I get to have friends to go out with me and have fun in the afternoon and den dinner. At about 9pm is my cue to go home and prepare formy next day 15th March 2005 8am reporting duty. There? Shiok? I dun see it that way. But as always the optimist in me will keep telling me that my NS days will passed by fast and that I just worked like 4 days a week and then 3 days the next week.


And now the perks, every public holiday I work I get 1 day off, and every 2 sundays I work I earned another day. It is also inevitable that a month has at least 4 sundays and thus every month I will earn at least one off pass!


Finally listen to this, If I do take off pass, it meant a 3 day break for me! Yes just one off pass! why? cos i only need to take off pass when my shift is on duty!!!


12 weeks of Field Defence Course which is sort of like an enhanced package out of sispec with GPMG range, LAW & M203 Range, Fighting In Built-Up Area(ASLC), section live firing(BSLC), platoon live firing(ASLC), Protection Of Installations(OCS), Exercise Earthworm(same as exercise Spade in OCS) has finally come to an end. Memories of what Platoon 1 12th batch FDC has gone through will never be forgotten! I will missed my all my section mates who are mainly in Paya Lebar Air Base just next door of Air Force School.


jh out!~
