shagged cannot think!

Went outfield on tuesday for my single tank battle course in which we, the tank commander, gunner and driver have to work together as a crew to run the tank and engage targets on contact. Due to some mismanagement, and most of our tanks which we moved out were unservicable, we could only run 1 tank ard the course at any time(we ended up completing only 6 out of 20+ crews!). Then only those who've completed the day practice are allowed to carry out the night practice and so the 1st day of 2 was very balonglong for most of us(me included =P). On Day 2, an officer popped by and recommended another way of running the course in order for all of us to be able to go thru' the course by the end of Day 2. Well, things ran a lot faster and I finally got my chance! Hmm, nvr got to travel in a moving tank until now lorz, and the feeling was unexpected. The ride was very very bumpy due to the undulating road and when we're engaging a target, the driver drives too fast and I was able to shoot only behind the target!(opps! =P) Then I proceeded on to do the night practice after dinner at ard 7.45pm. We only managed to complete everything on the morning of Day 3. When we returned to camp, we had some servicing to do on the tanks and only got to bunk to sleep for ard 1hr(after breakfast) at ard 6.30am. We had to fall-in for a short parade as it was SAF Day. After that, we carried on wif our servicing/maintenance, distributing our load. I, with 2 other buddies, was allocated to clean the last of our 4 coax(read as co-ax, a machine gun). Unbelievably, we spent the whole aftnoon from 1.40pm to 6pm! We were shagged and movement was thus, slow. But another reason is that the gun was shot so many times that all the carbon was dry and stuck on the insides of the gun which was very very hard to remove. We only managed to clean all our arms(weapons) at 8.30pm. We were sent back to our bunks to rest for the night already(knowing we have an IPPT category test the nxt morn!!!) And so there I was doing IPPT. Surprisingly, I got silver this time! Haha, I din know how I managed to jump 230cm for my SBJ(nvr done that in my life...always pass/fail only...Today wasn't a good day for me. We had to go thru' a camo drill(camouflage our tanks wif a netting) which sounds simple but is actually very tedious! We had a timing to meet and when my crew of 4(instead of 3 lorz) didn't meet the timing, we were called back to re-do the drill after everyone else completed at least once. Thru' a chain reaction of mistakes by many of our crew of 4, our timing was very very much worse than the 1st! We also didn't camo properly and I was very shagged and quite sad larz(ha, recovered from it le). Hopefully I can get it right the nxt time i get the chance...hmm, gotta go get some rest le...If I have a day-off on monday, I really hope to catch spiderman 2 but duno who I can get to go wif lorz..haha...will see 'bt tt..tataz~
