So it was a very calm morning with a casual march to the multi purpose hall to "re-do" CPR and AED training , so it was pretty fun man, Especially our instructor KARIM , who is literally a jack of all trades but master of none man... 43 years old, a degree in general police study, certified lifeguard instructor , certified driving instructor, certified bodyguard (can carry arms with civi clothing) and like a few more certs up his sleeves man. But in the end he came to this teaching job by chance and is apparently big bucks man. He stilll shared stories with us like a product demo of an hour can land $300 in his pocket  + he can be paid $30 -$60 per hour for these kinda CPR and AED training sessions. But al in all he really taught us alot of stuff (4 ppl including me) from CPR , public sector and how to live life ! He is really an inspiration and I JUST REALIZED I WASHED MY SMART 4 which had HIS NAMECARD in the right pocket oops.


and then fucked up afternoon with a sudden Technical Handling session, so we had to rush down in long 4 and with rifles to revise IA, Strip assembly drills . That was ok, until AGR OH MY GOSH. 15 MIN WARM UP RUN at a pace of most likely 1.50 -2 min !!?!??!?!!? I died at the end. Then after that we had to do some fucked up shit : Crawl 10m whilst doing a pushup with each step(s) then when u reach the checkpoint, do a core exercise ( written in notebook) , 5 counts of 4. We did it for about 100m, 5 checkpoints total. But after i did the whole thing and really saw the whole platoon vying for each other, encouraging each other, i really felt touched ( even SGT major was doing it!)

After the shag AGR, FORCE PREP GG. And holy shit man, tbh, i didnt expect the SGTs to expect us to standardize PLATOON LEVEL to layout our items. And obviously, some people havent been acclimatized to how a platoon / team works because ALOT of people were shouting and no one could hear our leaders for the first attempt at our force prep .
But all in all, we did it in 3min 49 sec?? SGT Dom said it was fricking impressie because people before POP usually do it under 3min. But then i remembered hearing him say EVEN THE OBESE BATCH CAN DO IT UNDER 1min 30 sec, so i still believe it is possible to break the 2min mark if people actually move it and listen man.

Good night ! Today Lights out 11pm ( now its 10.25pm and llistening to good musik hehehe) and reveille at 6am woo!! And tmr is (hopefully) gonna be a damn chille day cos there's alot of lessons.
