SAR21 training and practical + MOPP4, tear gas practical

*Posted on 13 December 2013. This is a make-up post.

As far as I can remember, there was something like this happened before. Therefore trying hard to jot down whatever I can before forgetting them again.

Since during BMT the weapon learnt was M16 and recently they changed to SAR21, no choice but to learn it. Can't remember who taught us that but the training was done internally at shed. After that had some 'practical' (more on this at another post), but really what felt good was that my batch didn't have to care about the weapon, returned liao can zao already! Haha...

Then ODs will include JGL and EMR, have to learn how to wear gas mask. Remembered rather clearly training was done at SAFPU (returned back there again) on the day before the actual practical test at SISPEC. Basically, experienced what PG they all were doing for the rest of their NS lo, including wearing that MOPP4, but the actual one there was no need to wear that suit, only wear mask will do. The practical was simple, went inside a room, shout out a sentence to make sure I could 'survive' in that environment. The moment everything was over, I ran out and holding onto the fence to grasp some big fresh air.

Still remembered straight away half day off after coming back to SAFPU! Yay! But whether was it stay-in or stay-out I can't remember liao, but my guess was stay-out.
