Why Are You Here?

Why Like That You Tell Me Now?

Afternoon

Scenario: Suicide bomber in Pass Office.

All personnels in Pass Office injured/dead.

Fireman-Lift/Evacuate all injured to safe area.

Feedback from testers: Well Done

And the worst thing of all, I’m not involved at all in this suicide bomber case after waiting so long for it to happen.

Am I too self critical, or are we really performing our duty too well that the infiltrators had no chance to infiltrate, or is it really the problem lies with the testers who are too lazy to test us? I really don’t know.

But while I asked the “old bird” about their experience in last year Ex Praxis, they always kept mentioning how “siong” it is, how mentally stressed and physically tiring the whole exercise will caused. Yet this time, I think I have never been more relaxed. In fact, I feel more energetic participating in this exercise rather than doing normal duty with my original platoon. Perhaps we are the “guests” attached to others platoon or maybe it’s the company and bonding that created so much fun and laughter amid the waiting period for the siren to sound at night that makes time pass so easily in an blink of an eye..

But part of the blame must rest on the tester as well. For last year Exercise, it was pretty normal to have up to 4 activations per day. For this year, if I am lucky, I will most probably be involved in only 1 activation per day.

What the fuck is happening? I have not had enough fun yet. I have not had seen enough action yet. But the bloody exercise is ending tomorrow. This is sad. So much so for all the hype surrounding it. Where is the pride even if we managed to do well in all the activation?

If you think I’m mad to be saying all these, you might as well ask the rest of my platoon mates who were equally as disappointed as me. Talk about taking the easy way out…we are definitely much better than that lol.
