Ninja.

During one of the nights in camp I had to get out of my bunk after lights out to do smth (basically eat and then brush up cos i'm so hungry, as usual). Then my buddy is like "OMG don't suicidal. Get caught = die". Then I'm like "I'll ninja there." And I did.

It totally reminds me of the last day of field camp...

At the wee hours in the morning, a few of our rifles were taken (either stealthily or by force) by our sergeants. Fearing confinement and all the shit (for me I was pissed cos we were told there was going to be a dawn attack and I wanna rambo them with the rifle and blanks), 3 of us - my buddy, another bunkmate called Wei Jie, and me, decided to steal back our rifles.

Before the field camp we were told about rifle stealing and we asked if we can steal our sergeants' rifles, they said ok, as long as we can find it. Hence, we started our movement, at 5.30am when its still dark. We applied all the tactical shit we learnt and crept all the way down to their tents. The prowlers and sentries on duty (fellow recruits) didn't even notice us rofl. Once I even had problem locating my buddy to pass down a message (I was the "front scout" cos I was like the most experienced amongst the 3 of us, I knew all the stuff they taught on the first teaching =\).

When we reached their tent, we peeked in and looked around for shiny objects (our blank attachments on our rifles were silvery). I saw one but when I was about to peek closer, I realised the sergeant was sleeping on that object, and he was turning around. Basket. So we continued searching.. Just then, the alarm clock rang. WTH.. Siao liao, then we retreated and fell back.

All the while, Wei Jie was damn funny.. My buddy and me doing all the tactical shit so as to avoid detection, then Wei Jie WALKED openly on the open road. Rofl.. Then he even dragged his feet, causing all the sandy sound. Bah.

Anyway, feeling pissed at failing to get back our rifles, and feeling useless during the dawn attack, we decided to contribute in our own way - set up a early warning system so the rest can be prepared and choing at the first sight of enemy.

The plan:

- I set up a solo listening/observation post some 50m from the sergeant's tent. When I see people carrying weapon walking towards us, I'll cover the lightstick on the tree I'm hiding behind.

- Seeing that, Wei Jie hiding halfway to our harboring (ie camp) site will cover his lighstick

- Then my buddy Justin will sound off to the rest (ask them wake up etc) and choing down to attack or smth lol

It sounded damn cool and good and we carried it out. But on second thoughts it was quite funny and stupid lol..

Anyway, I camped there till the sun came out and I was caught by a sergeant -.-"

No more concealment by the dark, and the trees at our campsite are all lik 15cm in width. So even if I was proning and stuff, they could see me from 100m away. Rofl.. And Justin told me Wei Jie was sleeping while I was keeping a lookout. Basket.. Lol.

Looking back I think it was quite dumb.. But a very interesting and funny experience haha.. Ninja skills put to the test, though we failed XD
