The First Campsite after a 6km route march....

Group shot of my section...notice how I'm keeping an eye on my buddy...with a look of utter fear in my face....

The soil-stained interior of a basha tent...


A shot of the water logged oil plantation(our second camp site)...

Another group shot of our platoon in the middle of literally nowhere....


Posing with our m-16s that are fully equiped with ammo pouches...

Cover and Concealment: A shot of us stuffed with an assload of vegetation....and blending into the foliage

My section ready to put a bullet in our platoon seargent's ass for making us stuff ourselves with the aforementioned assload of vegetation ....

Another shot with my buddy acting like Chewbacca the wookie with his rifle raised up high...

Casualty evacuation drill.....

The Notorious "Fireman carry" method of evacuation......that's not me in the pic...but I did carried a man like that and ran for 250 km....at the end of it...my sould left my body a couple of times during that run...

Another pic of us hauling ass...

Eating the "sumptious" combat rations for lunch...


Artillery drills.....

Proning behind grass patches and taking aim....


Moving in a coordinated manner.....and flanking our invisible enemy...


The two men running towards the section leader in the middle...

Our punishment for leaning against a tree....getting the entire section of 12 to push against the tree and shout "HELP!HELP!THE TREE IS FALLING!"....

10 mins later and we're still pushing the tree....


Grenade drill.....with the casualty happily looking on...


our second camp site...the palm tree plantation...

Eating of live rations on our technical break...a rare day where we could do without applying camouflage cream on our faces...

Group shot with our platoon seargent...the calm before the storm..hahha


My platoon seargent being given a powder bath by my platoon...notice me at the background pointing,laughing and my eyes blazing green...haha

Awwww....he ate some of the powder.....my heart goes out to him...NOT!!

The living embodiment of Casper the friendly ghost...


And...Here comes a new challenger!!hahah......My PC...2nd lieutenant Glenn...


He entered a young man...and exited a greying old fart...hahha

A picture of the less deadly insects in tekong...

A picture of the insects tearing each other apart....


My commaders leaving their mark on a blackboard in an abandoned malay school in the jungles of tekong....

Our route March to the final campsite...


You can see that some people are already fluctuating between life and death..hahaha


Finally reach our final camp site...The reclaimed land: The land of the mosquitoes...

A shot of the platoon together after our BIC(Btatle inoculation course) on the last day of field camp....
