"Own time own target carry on" This was the most commonly heard phrase for this week. Yes, we had our live range. At first i thought it was gonna be deafening, especially when i am the firer himself. But it didnt turn out that bad. The recoil wasnt as much as i expected. Day range was quite ok, the targets were quite huge, impossible to miss unless one is a bobo shooter. The only exception was the initial snaptarget in the foxhole position. That target was relatively smaller. Some ppl missed it and fired on the sand instead. Prior to firing, we did zeroing. Zeroing was done with the aid of computers, sensors, which renders so much coonvenience to commanders. I heard manual zeroing is very very tedious.. Have to run up and down to the target board and back. I believe that was how it was done in the olden days! woohoo... technology now is so much better.. We also had night range. But that was rather bad for me. I keep missing. the target cant be seen with clarity. I failed quite terribly for the night shooting... haha but overall i managed to pass... if there was something more unpalatable in range, it would be the picking up of RAI... its not easy to pick them out, especially some are already embedded in the sand... but we would still need to accumulate sufficient RAI before we can leave the site... I remembered the first day of range Lights off was at 0115... and reveille around 0600.. As tired as we were, we had to chiong our day range test....But that day ended pretty soon.. and we were back to company line by lunch... We anticipated the book out :p
yep A levels were out last wed. I am very grateful for my results. or rather little unexpected...
