Field camp gotta be one of the worst days in my life.
On the first day itself, I caught a flu, followed by a fever later on. Because of that, I didn't have any appetite either. Throughout this entire six days in the jungle, I was feeling very weak. And field camp is mentally and physically taxing for any soldier, what more a sick and pampered guy like me.
The third night was probably the worst night in my entire miserable existence. It rained like fuck, and flooded several tents. We were practically sleeping on mud, with rainwater beating on our faces. We were all wet and muddy, and it was freaking cold throughout the night. My worst night indeed, and my bunkmate actually cried. What a pussy, lol.
The socks and underwear were wet, and when you think that the next shower you'll be having will be in like... three days time... you pretty much feel like taking the SOG to cut your wrist. Everyone else smelled like shit. And the combat rations deserved an entirely new blog post by itself. They make canteen food look like a heavenly banquet.
(The legendary pongteh chicken. It is as if someone vomited into the bag and throw a few preserved cubes of chicken into the obscene mixture. Thank God the commanders cut that from the menu.)
Field camp is tough, but when you look back, you recall the funny moments and complaints you made. It is a good memory and camping in the forests mould wimps to man - which we need more in this countries. I feel that Singaporean guys aren't manly enough, not like yours truly.
I am still sick by the way. Damn, I wanna go out!
