Field Camp. Basic military traning.
One whole big comedy show! fuking pissed
myself with laughter whole bloody day and night.
after being on that island PulauT for a few
weeks, the instructors, having inparted unto us many things like sticking big fukin
leafs on our helmets, face painting with three colors, making coins bounce on
bunk beds and being able to drink out of the urinal, decided to treat us to a
one night sleep over in the middle of the forest.
called field camp.
the whole company would camp out in the
wilderness. enjoy the night out. smell the night air. listen to the fukin noisy
crickets. enjoy eating crap called combat rations. learn how to make a
temporary shitting and pissing area.
build your own tent. how to wash up and take your shower in the jungle.
you know, have a fun time basically. enjoy
the starry night. maybe can see shooting stars too.
So we packed up. took wad we had to take.
every one carried everything. other than the truck with certain things. we got
there in the afternoon.
the area we were in was very strictly
controlled. white tape. markers. no go zones. we were told not to wonder off.
work with your buddy. never go anywhere without him or telling him. always stay
in twos. the instructors were very clear about this. NO wondering off alone.
so we got there. pitched our “tents”. dug
holes. laid white tapes. set up tables. tents for the instructors. potable
generators for them, non for us.
we were briefed on so many things. we even had to do guard duty. two of us
walking round the “camp” site, changing every hour.
As this was our first time being out in the
woods, we were, hmm.. a bit lost too. we kept fuking things up. tents would
collapse. people would trip on their own guide wires. eating the combat rations
too. lol. that was a mess too. all carried out with candles.
we were shown how to do basic jungle
survival. just the basics. non of the complicated shit the cor-men-dos do. we
were training to be infantry. there`s always food and water round us!
Being the first time, we were not shouted
at much. if they did, it was for the proper reasons. not like the past few
weeks, we were shouted at for every single thing, right or wrong.
Now, looking back, I know why. ill explain
later.
So, as the sun set, things started to settle
down. those on guard duty started their rounds.
ohh.. surprise! they dished out instant
noddles! wtf? lol. here we were, trying to cook bloody noodles in the dark,
candles. there was much cursing and shouting by all for the next hour. lol.
instructors were there to joke with us. there to guide us. hehe. I was
thinking, I could get used to this. this is fun fun fun!
things settled down again. it seemed like a
dam holiday camping trip. just a bit stuffy with all the humidity.
oh no! not end of the night!. FALL IN FALL
IN FALL IN. lol. fall in meant we were
to get outa the tent, and stand in front of it. boots on or not, u stand there
fast. just make sure you got your dam gun with you.
“ who lost his gun? “ huh oh….
“ who the fuker forgot his gun? knn! “
the poor chap came forward. did 20 push
ups. got shouted at. loudly! think the instructor did that so every one could
hear wtf was going on. and also learn to fukin secure their guns.
To secure your gun, means, lol u sleep on
the dam thing. or part of it.
k. every one by now is kinda sleepy. been a
long day. and its fukin 11pm. fuk cant we just sleep?
nearly……. I though.
u see. one thing we all have not done. we
would have done it in camp. but out here, we have not done. its to have your “
shower”. the military demands a high standard of personnel grooming. cant have
you sleeping not having bathed or showered can we now?
so they decided we had to have our shower. a
proper one. they don’t trust us to do it alone.
fuk I nearly shat my pants. the amount of
thunder flashes that went off. each instructor I think let of about 5 each. fuk
me was it loud. and it went on for about 30 seconds. as we all stood to
attention outside the tent, the time according to my casio g shock hardcore
watch, 1230hrs.
fuk wad a time to have a shower. lol. I
started to find it all very funny. at this point, the giggles started.
being asleep, we were all in different
states.
some had their tops off. some on.
some had their pants rolled up.
some had no boots on.
some had no socks on.
some had boots on.
some were just in their pants.
but no one was in their underpants. you
don’t do that in the forest. this is just basic military training. we were all
in the dry set of cloths we carry. we don’t “sleep” in the day ones, wet most
likely.
“ ok all” shouted some one.
“ time to do your powder bath. you all know
wad to do. carry on.”
“ inspection in 20 mins”
wow! not bad. 20 mins to shower.
ok. I better explain wad a powder bath is.
you get out your bottle of powder. be it
normal or those “cold” ones. you rub yourself down.
your toes, in between them too.
your feet, both of them.
your legs.
your ass crack.
your balls.
your dick.
your belly.
your arm pits.
your back. if cant reach, get your buddy to
do it before he rubs his ball and ass crack.
your upper body.
your neck
your face
your ears.
your head if you so wish.
it wont clean all the dirt. but it will
keep u dry and germs at bay. dry means good. wet and sticky and humid means not
good. the powder is to keep you cool. mostly, keep them germs at bay for the
night.
Many of us have had our shower. but them
instructors wanna make dam sure we did it properly.
20 mins past. we lined up. all the
instructors walked and inspected. we were all clothed. they than started to
shout.
some one had not powdered their neck.
some one did not do their arm pits.
some did not do their backs.
they were really getting worked up. many
were doing push ups there and than. lol. I just carried on giggling inside.
trying not to lol.
time went pass. soon the whole company was
just in their camo pants. tops all off. closer inspections. lol.
more got found out. no powder where powder
should have been.
than the inspection went onto the feet. all
boots off. socks off. a few did not do their feet and toes. more shouting. more
pushups.
than came the order. every one strip naked.
lol I so nearly fukin laughed out loud! think they are now really pissed off
with us for not having a proper shower!
so. at about 0120hrs, heres about 120
recruits, standing butt naked in the middle of some fukin forest on that
island. can you imagine that? HAHAHAHAHAHHA
the only lights were from the instructors
hand held torches. our candles were all out, not suppose to be lit in case the
enemy saw us.. lol! another thing that made me wanna lol more!
“ fukin hell u all. I give you 2 mins to
get all white! and for the inspection, get your boots on!”
so we did. we had another shower.
2 mins later, standing to attention like we
would do on the parade ground, but without the cloths, with our wifes beside
us, they walked again. they inspected again.
fuk! there will always be some twat that
seems to get it wrong.
Heres another thing. can you imagine people
running naked with their boots on, their rifles overhead, at 130 am in the
morning? well, imagine it!
so here we are, most of us looking at our
fellow bald headed friends, doing just that. its fukin funny seeing your friend
running past your tent, naked but with boots on, with his wife overhead! its
hard to see, but you cant miss the person covered in full with white powder
passing your tent. fukin unbelievable. but fukin funny.
At this point, the instructors knew that
we`ve learned to take a proper shower.
I just cant stop giggling all this while.
Im sure many of the others too. come on! this is funny!
ok. we learned. shouting eased off.
inspection over. people powdered more. got their cloths on. its time to sleep!!
true. no more shouting. no more pranks. the
instructors pulled back to their tables and large tents. the guards walking the
area kept on walking, changing pairs every hour. I could see the instructors
doing their rounds too. they were looking after us.
fuk. my buddy and me did the 4 to 5 am
stint. no sleep than lol.
well. that’s the comedy field camp. hope
you enjoyed it.
Note- remember about the instructors not
shouting much out here in the field? telling us not to wonder off? stick in
pairs? ill explain why now. not in any particular order.
1- maybe they don’t want to “push” the
weaker minded persons over the edge. Losing your head out here, first time in
the woods, is not a good thing. so not much shouting. some people hate it and might
de stupid things.
2- that island is, pretty dirty. “dirty”
meaning its full of sprits. some call it sprits. ghosts. unhappy souls. lost
souls. anything to do with the other world we know of. the sprit world.
now,
in that group of 120 recruits, there are many religions. many followers
following many types. what ever you follow, do not piss of any other group.
simple yes?
like
I said, the instructors stayed up all night too. they know how to deal with
things like that. we don’t. some do. but almost all don’t. you will never know
when some sprit takes over somebody. hence the marked areas, no go zones.
3-
we did the walk around guard duty. yes. we must all learn it. but also the
instructors did their own. they walked their own rounds, looking out for us,
and possible other worldly stuff as well.
More later on bout the sprit world, another story.
