Ants in my Army pants too

iTunes’ party shuf­fle is play­ing: Things Have Changed — Bob Dylan — Won­der Boys [Soundtrack]

The chat­ter has begun. Me and my Reservist (I still use that term even though they’ve called us NSmen for the past ten years) pla­toon have a Yahoo! Group where we keep each other posted on rumours of what the pow­ers that be have in store for us dur­ing in-camp. We also use our Yahoo! Group to announce impor­tant things, such as wed­dings and births and when we can meet up for drinks.

It’s roughly two months out from this year’s ICT, and we’re a lit­tle ner­vous. Appar­ently there won’t be any nights out in the sec­ond week, and week­ends will be spent in-camp. The ‘good’ news is that very soon after this ICT, there’ll be another in 2005, which will be in Aus­tralia! Woohoo! There, we will revise how to fight in the desert or some­thing. Very useful.

The fact that I am so look­ing for­ward to reservist is tes­ta­ment to my need­ing a hol­i­day very, very badly. Next month’s trip to HK is not con­sid­ered one. I am going there for the ex’s wed­ding. Yes, I am feel­ing antsy, just like most every­one else. And if this gets any worse, I’ll want to cut some­one. Or some­thing.

    Sorry about the Green Hor­net. Did not think it would be offen­sive. And yeah, the proudly Singapore-made rifle looks nice enough to look like a Philip Starck design. Works well too. It’s got laser lights and all. So cool.

    I dont blame you. I would love to have been a sol­dier but it’s against my diet.

    Pow­er­puff, there is one guy in my pla­toon with a six-pack, and another with an even tan. They’re pretty strict about cam­eras and cam­era phones now (ever since Abu Ghraib), so I don’t think I can sneak shots in the bunk any more. As for ‘food pic­tures’, go out and have lunch at a nice place, and there ya go.

    Caleb, Shhhh. I don’t like being a sol­dier. If I declare unashamedly, they’ll ‘arrow’ me big time.

    Well, I had home cooked por­ridge for lunch. Just as good :) Hope­fully later, din­ner will be good one. I know I am going out for din­ner with some folks. I just dunno where and exactly who will be in the group :D

    Have a nice sat­ur­day evening, miyagi!

    As an NS-exempt Sin­ga­pore tax­payer and mil­i­tary buff, I’m glad to hear that the SAR-21 works. Was wor­ried that it would be like the British SA-80 Indi­vid­ual Weapon, which was a nice-to-see, lousy-to-shoot piece of shite.

    CZM, your tax money was put to good use build­ing the SAR-21. It is an excel­lent rifle, but only for right han­ders. I’m a leftie, but have to use my right, because the car­tridge ejec­tion slot can­not be changed. Well bal­anced and accu­rate if only a bit heavy, the last time we were at range for famil­iar­ity shoot, we could pick out left or right nip­ple to aim at from 100m at a Fig. 11 tar­get. The 1.5X scope and Laser Aim­ing Device is a treat.
