week 7

week 7 of aslc. a hectic and tiring week. had platoon live firing on mon. day and night. ippt on tues. was quite happy with my results. i finally can jump le. managed to jump 243cm to secure a 5 points. had prefect score but couldnt get gold because of 2.4km run. need to cut down 7secs from 9.51min to 9.44min to get gold. yeah. must try again during the next ippt provided that i can jump well too. wed was standard obstacle course (SOC). failed. my timing was 10.21min. the passing timing is 9.59min and below. felt disappointed and down. not passing SOC = staying back on sat morning for remedial training. on top of this, SOC is a vito factor in order to pass out from aslc. went to mandai area for navigation exercise. managed to find 2 of of the 3 day checkpoints. night checkpoint was easy to find. we were the 2nd detail of the company to end our navigation exercise. combat skill badge! yay! had SOC yesterday. ran the last 600m despite the fact that i was dog tired after jumping down from the 2m ramp. at that moment while running, i kept thinking about wanting to pass SOC. i made it. my timing was just nice. exactly 9.59min! hahaha. finally cleared something which i had been worrying about since the start of aslc. but still, i must keep training and do better in the future. next week is grandslam2. travelling on a chinook, river crossing, platoon attack, digging shellscrape + fire trench... confirm will be both physically and mentally drained. haiya. shall go sleep now.
