Once I had my 11B. Now I have my pink IC.
Just finished a one week “holiday” training camp in sungei gedong camp. Went back to familiarise with the operation of the AVLB (check out the photo to see how my tank look like). Previously, I was from AETC, Armoured Engineer Training Center, under the vocation of Combat Engineer. That was in 2001. Now I am under 6 Div, 54 SAB. It’s already 7 years. How time flies….
Meet up with old buddies and other lao jiao (older birds). Nowadays, I feel the trainees and NSFs are more better welfared and taken care of.
The whole place has changed compared to when I came back in 2006. Old buildings torn down. New buildings buildings erected. Added in new beds, cupboards, king-coiled mattress. Better toilet facilities. Still part of the area is under construction and not fully-operational yet. Even the old D801 is gone. The big tankshed is replaced with new multi-storey buildings.
Incidentally, the SAF day happened to fall on my ICT 2nd day. So the reservists joined in the parade with the active units and recite the SAF pledge and sing the national anthem.
