First Few Days In SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMANDAfter so many days of hard time training, yesterday is finally my very first book out day at SOC. Training there was rather hard and tough. Seriously I couldn't take it as in for some of the Circuit Training during Physical Training. Rules are damn freaking strict. Riot drills was fun but wasn't so well liken as was always under the hot sizzling sun with all our equipment and was damn heavy running with it. Everytime before our meals, we are required to do push-up and have to meet their requirement. Those whom actually didn't meet their requirement will do additional punishment.
1st day reach Queenstown Camp was basically more into admin and distributing of quarters to us. Besides that, we got our $8k worth of equipments and have to carry it with us during our riot drills training. Seriously is damn heavy.
2nd day was our IPPT test. Standard is higher than Home Team Academy. Sit Up have to go down fully and elbow must touch the KNEE. Pull -Up must go down fully. Did badly for my IPPT test. Didn't score a Gold and only one guy got Gold which is Le Qiao. Score a Sliver due to the timing of my 2.4km was too slow. Stamina is getting lousy and I don't even know why.
3rd day was my very 1st riot drills. Fun but tiring. Evening was an introduction Physical Training and Night time was burnt due to punishment and some stupid craps!
4th day was riot drills in the morning till noon and evening PT was circuit training. I swear it is like hell. Finally 1830hrs BOOK OUT!
