Shooting Training... 11/6/2002
oh well dis happened yesterday...i was too tired to write yesterday... i got up at 0530hrs and ran around the place for fun...0630 i had breakfast, 0700 i left for Yio chu kang MRT station...sigh i wore my no 4 without folding the sleeves, so i had to go toilet there to fold it all the way up...in the end it appeared that e only ppl from acsi ncc sea dat came for the thing today were me and ian lin...oh well i dun care...

then the stupid comfort bus came to pick us up and dropped us at nee soon army camp, and the army man there told us all the safety thingy and crap...there were 20 ranges, 10m real distance, 15m simulated distance, so it is 25m altogether. The weapon was a demilitarized M-16A1 with an IR thingy in the barrel and compressed C02 for the simulated recoil. We each had 6 magazines of 4 rounds each, and each magazine we had to fire the 4 rounds as close to each other as possible at the 'canadian bull' target, which was an 'n' shaped thingy...to pass a magazine u hafta get all ur shots not farther than 6cm from each other, and for a marksman classification, u need to get all the shots within 3cm of each other...


I was in the 4th detail, which was the 4th group of 20 shooters that fired lor...there was this female shooter in the 4th range, 1st detail, that fired shots up to 28.5cm apart and missed the target by 111 over cm...lol i guess gals shouldn't shoot =p...oh well then me and ian took the 5th range, and he was in the 3rd detail and i was in 4th. he fired 3.9cm, 4.9cm, 5.5cm, 7.5cm, 7.8cm and 11.7cm(not in order), while i fired 4.1cm, 5.1cm, 5.5cm, 7.2cm, 10.1 and 11.1cm(not in order again)...in the marksmanship comp u only haf 4 mags so for ur score they take the 4 best ones added together. Ian got 21.8cm while i got 21.9cm so he beat me by 0.1cm... boo hoo...but overall he still beat me by a lot...aaahh...


After the thing, we got transport back to yio chu kang MRt again and we changed into civillian clothes there...we kept throwing things like newspaper into each other's cubicles while changing...so fun...then we went to meet cow at taka, then jennifer came...lol cow was jealous that jen had a 7210...hmph i only haf a 3330...cow has a 6510 still wanna be so jealous...then ian,cow and i went to some places at orchard to find itching powder for dunno wad...in the end cow and many other ppl had this farewell dinner thingy so i went home...


Sigh at nite so weird...while i was readin papers my dad came to tell me to study chinese, becuz i kept failing all my hcl tests...he kept telling me stuff like if i fail again u better quit and all that stuff...sighz...holiday also cannot rest one...
