The First Week




Block leave was bad. I got too used to civilian life. Not that i wouldn't want block leave, but it just means that we've to get used to army life again.

So the first week is down. Well we got off to a (one helluva) rolling start. Monday saw us going through a 4-hour class-up evolution, the 'ceremony' that sees us cross over to PCP from BMT. I shan't elaborate much on it. All i can say is that we got wet and sandy, carried boats, crawled on a mimosa-infested field like dogs, etc, and the whole experience made all of us want to OOC(out-of-course). If you want the details just ask, i'll tell.

" DROOOOOWWWWNNN-PRRROOOOOOOFINGGGGGG "

Rest of the week was spent on drown-proofing and sea-swim practice. Both were tedious evolutions, and boy was i glad and lucky to have passed them. Drown-proofing almost had me seeing God at the end of it, and if you think drowning is a good way to commit suicide, well, think again. One word to describe it - HARDCORE. Again, ask if you want details, i'm quite lazy to elaborate.

2nd week's up next and 'THE' week is coming, if you know what i mean. Hooyah 31 lets push on.
