warriors of the world united

woohooo! just had a 3-day exercise this week at lim chu kang training area.. 18 of us were providing support for the 3rd guards battalion, playing as their enemies to prepare them for their upcoming proficiency test..

since i enlisted in the army, fire movement has never been so fun. heh we were donning this new vest that had sensors all over it, with a transmitter also attached to our rifle, which made the whole thing like some large scale laserquest game. and it was good fun, considering that 18 of us could wipe out an entire company in the battalion.

and to top it all off, we had tons of ammo to use, so it was all just happy machine gunning for all of us. it was tiring rushing up the hill through the waist high vegetation, but at least we didn't have to worry about getting our elbows or knees grazed when we landed as the grass was so thick it could cushion a fall. in the end, we overran the objective, but we were still declared the losers anyway cos the enemies are never supposed to win in an exercise.. sad but true.

and of course, there was no better war song to accompany the brothers of metal into battle than Manowar's Warriors of the World United! go get it people! you'll feel the rush!
