What! They shot the dog? When I was in Nee Soon camp it was a dog's paradise. Plenty of them roaming about, one of the CSMs even adopted one of the dogs. Heck, the dogs had free run of the place, but there was once they caused a bit of inconvenience. 2 of them were humping in front of the company line blocking the entrance to the office and nobody could go in or out until they were done!!!

heady 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Must say vocation one ah. I company 2ic lah, for medical coy that's why so slack. I remembered another story. Before became officer, I was for a year a ammo storeman. One day got new officer, just pass out OCS. We were on duty which means the duty officer has to do stock-take of the active store everytime he comes on duty. We store detonators in a special area, in which we put detonators only since they are very sensitive. This officer first time do this and quite nervous. His hands tremble so much, he spilled the box of detonators from about 4 feet up and all of us literally "balls drop". After a second or two of cold sweat, we bent down and pick each detonator up very carefully. After this, the poor officer never looked us in the face again. Poor guy. I don't blame him, this was the year when 3 guys got blown up during mortar live firing and those mortars came from our store.

fallraen 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 haha yea, i just got excuse stay-in and outfield, thats why i'm at home at night. if not like my buddies suffering in the camp now yea there are many funny excuses ns has, some good some bad and some your superiors will make bad. such as the sunlight guy. i bet he felt so sad at that time. i think for me, my most interesting things i did, was just all the normal chioning, learn how to get on and off helicopter, route march, manage to learn a hell lot of weapons, learn signal, topo... oh and that time go tekong for 11day field camp for my bmt. we all almost died! and most importantly i'm medic trained at nee soon camp. wah there is a great camp with 7/11 outside. i think its like a holiday for me over there haha. only that i had to leopard crawl with casualty on top stretcher and 4 of us had to drag "casualty" across the field. haha i think the casualty just wanted to die. due to my "status" i didn't manage to complete my 72km route march and airborne course. oh well... i think i had enough of action to last me the next few years. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heady 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 I'd not either.. Each of those things has a 5m blast radius and 12m shockwave radius. If one goes, all of them will.. The rumour was that the OC made the company formed a line and picked up the bits of remains in their steel helmets. Don't know if it was true or not but the very idea was certainly gross. And you know how our ammo tech checked all the mortars in our store? Took each round out and shake it to hear if the ball-bearings are loose inside. Makes me feel kind of weak in the knees whenever I pass their stations. If you know how a mortar works inside, loose ball-bearings means it is armed and shaking too hard can detonate the mortar.
