Another continuation. Friday wasn't any better. Got training in the morning. We went to run the SEOC but without helmet and rifle. We didn't clear any obstacles too. The sky has darkened visibly when we were at the start point and we thought that the exercise might be cut. It carried on anyway. I ran and halfway through, the rain came. I could have sought shelter and waited for the rain to stop. It wasn't a heavy rain after all. So, I decided to run it back to the end point.
The moment I exited from the vegetation, I could feel the torrential rain coming against me. It was the point of no reture, either I make it back to the end point or I ran back to the shelter. I figured out the end point was a better choice. Thus, I ran back. I was totally drenched, soaked to the skin. The rain had gotten into my boots and it was real uncomfortable. Never in my cheong suah days had I had been this wet. Oh well...
I made it back to wing line eventually. Say, newspapers are really good at absorbing moisture. I stuffed some into my boots and by night, the interior was about 90% dry. Still got a SOC test on next Tuesday. Sian...
In the afternoon, we were assigned to help out the TC branch. Seems that the commander has graduated from his LO course and is throwing the graduation party at the cadets' mess. We sat there, doing nothing and watching them rehearsing their song item. Come on! I bet the situation must have been like that: the graduands wanted a place to throw a party to celebrate, they had nowhere to go, commander thinks, 'Hey! I've a cadets' mess and whole lot of manpower to do the party!' and bravely volunteers to hold the party at his place.
Among the 24 graduands, he is the top-notch and wield most power. By virture of his position as commander, he can activate the whole OCS tho come and work on the party. Man... It was real boring, sitting there. My handphone didn't have good reception and I can't message or call Qing Qing at times. Why is it that reception at army camps sucks big time?
Well, something good did happen. Or should I say extraordinary. When the rehearsal was over, he came over and thanked each of us personally with a handshake. A firm one. He is the man. I must learn the technique of good handshaking too.
