“firers, magazine of 4 rounds, load and ready.”

“firers, this is your ATP marksmanship test, good luck, firers, watch your front.”

that is what i have been doing for all last week, conducting this last minute Advance Trainfire Package 100m for the newly posted in officers, specialists, overseas returnees and some “reshoot category” men.

its pretty boring, and i just couldn’t wait for it to be over. i myself had doubts that it would be a smooth conduct, considering i had to organise everything on my own, indent transport/ration, arrange the details, source for TSR. i didn't even have time to read the lesson plan before the ATP. wow.. how's that for a responsible conducting.

but well, i knew the sequence of everything back from my NSF days, made sure everything that were supposed to be there was there, and made sure things ran well. of course i had a good detailing and scoring ic who made sure the majority of the show went on, without which there would be no details for the firers to be in!

it ended early on wed night, was preparing to head back when i got a call. and with that call, i had to head back to camp.. and there i stayed till 4am.

zzz.. how's that for a xmas eve pre-emptive strike?

now for COC parade.
