so we're best combat unit this year. it isn't officially out, but its an open secret now.

big whoop. you'll probably see lots of rah-rah-go-commandos chest beating on saf day and at the ndp. there's a picture in the rec room of the ex-5th coy at safti, holding up this banner "best combat unit again, again, again, again and again!".

ought to be good for a couple of days off, at least.


last night we had a turnout!

2ic caught some people watching a pirated dvd, then a lot of people had gone for the night off without bothering to sign the book-in/book-out book ( yours truly included ). so it was whole-lot-fall-in-full-battle-order-now time from 2300 to 0015.

that really brought back memories of bmt - 's been a long time since we did anything like that. but life in hendon wouldn't be the same without stuff like this - we were kind of enjoying it, in a perverse, twisted sort of way. you wouldn't understand.

so now the whole company is on probation for a week - if we "do everything swee-swee" next week, our current restriction of privileges will be lifted. hah.


i'm off till tuesday night, woot. managed to wrangle some off-in-lieu out of the old man for the hols we missed in brunei.


in non-army related news, smu has finally given indication that they haven't lost my application - they sent an email of offer yesterday, bursting at the seams with such words and phrases as "privilege", "applicants of high calibre", "exceptional learning experience" and "coveted" etc etc.

they ought to save all that for their prospectuses, though - why bother with people who've already applied?

sigh. i still wish i was going to lse though.
ah well.
if there's one thing the saf has taught me, it's to suck it up. a.k.a. "suck thumb" and "lan lan".

*sucks thumb*
