Safti's True Horror Stories

First there was hell.
and then there was alpha wing.

it was supposed to be a photo taking session wasn't it? Why did we end up running from tree to tree in 30 seconds? Doing pushups in the parade sq when all we said that we were from Tango Wing? Oh did i forget to mention lining up in a line and shouting at the top of our little lungs that we're from Alpha? And that Tango remains a memory? This was to be the first of the litany of horror stories i'd collect in the next 23 weeks of erm ... training.

I am an officer cadets of alpha (read: insanity) wing

1. They're not allowed to walk freely to the toilet after lights out, u stealth ur way there either leopard crawling or simply leap and bouding in monkey rush.

2. To train operational readiness, there was a recall back to camp on the Monday Public Holiday for HariRaya Haji. Duty room called everyone to fall back in and get ready for their 5 day POI Field Camp.

3. Alpha combined 5 day Platoon Field Camp with 4 day ex. Spade to form a 9 day continuous field exercise. Oh they boarded the bus back from Marsling Training area on the last day, didnt go back to wingline though as they thought that they were supposed to. They got dropped off at Lim Chu Kang training area and did a 16km route march back in FBO.

4. No no, they didnt stop their march at the wingline. You see, alpha has a tradition of marching to your wingline, and then just when you thought it was the end of your march, you go for a charlie mike (continuous mission) and march an aditional round around SAFTI. sweet huh?

5. I used to hate Tango 5BX runs. 3 click runs just was irritating in the morning. Oh alpha doesnt do that! GREAT NEWS? Yeah, they run to NTU. Thats about 8 click run for 5BX.

6. Alpha cadets are usually posted to guards and cat 1 operational units. Hence the tough training. I'm going to .... GUARDS?!!?!?!

7. Its getting appaling. Kinda like the 8min anal rape scene in irreversible already huh?
