Part B IMT Range Visit
On the 16/11/09, 13 Part B cadets including me went to the IMT Range (initially Live Range). 10 of the cadets were absent as most of them had a camp called Veloc-T to attend.
I woke up at 10a.m., had my breakfast at the hawker centre at Bedok Interchange and met my friend Ahmad Aqashah at the bus no.197 berth. When we boarded the bus, we found out that we were almost late! One of my classmate called me to remind us, by the time we reached school, our teacher-in-charge yelled at us to hurry up the bus.
When we reached the Singapore Discovery Centre (SDC), we were given cakes and distilled water. We were then told that we had to board another bus to Pasir Laba Camp. Well, that
SICKENED me and my friend Aqashah as we think that there would not be any fun at a military camp.
So we boarded the bus to Pasir Laba Camp. Reaching there, my camera phone was confiscated since camera phones were not allowed at military facilities. We were then briefed on some details for the day. It
SICKENED me and Aqashah more when the Live Range was changed to IMT range due to some problems. We were next split into details of 9 each.
When we went into the IMT range. Unlike last time where we shot targets, this time we were told to shoot "enemies" coming from the screen. We watched others played while waiting for our turn. When it was our turn, I tried the SAW rifle first and found out that it was hard to kill an enemy, as a result, I killed none. Next I swapped weapon with my platoon mate and this time, with SAR21. To me, this was easier as there is a scope for you to aim. But still, I only managed to kill 2 enemies. Then we swapped weapon again, this time, with M16, the one used last time, it is lighter compared to SAR21, but there was no scope for you to aim. I managed to kill 2 enemies which to me was quite little. Overall, I would say that my performance was really sucked up.
After the shooting, we waited for around 2 hours doing nothing which made us pissed off, we just talked about some random stuffs.
Finally the bus came, I got my phone back and we got back to school and released. Aqashah and I decided to go to KFC since we were so hungry. After that I went home.
To me this trip was quite boring and a waste of time, spending 75 % or more of the time boarding the bus and waiting. But that is the stupid criteria set by the NCC HQ in order for us to get our Total Defence badge (Silver). Glad that I can get my Total Defence badge (Silver) now!
