Goh Jian Hong, John Tan, Matthew Chua, Kok Kein, Edwin Foo, Lai Xin Hua, Shawn Lee and Mathew Teo were tasked to test out the all new Vocational Obstacle Course quite some time ago. (some call it Section SOC)
It is a course that will be implemented for the future generations NSF/NSmen. In fact, I think they'll probably add this into our reservist syllabus. Which I think it's something to look forward to. It was really fun. (Excluding the casualty evacuation part)
The course started off with a 1km fast march in SBO + Organic equipment. And finally, we arrived at the foreign looking obstacles that we were to clear. The obstacles were really easy to clear despite having to carry our organic stuff because everyone was really helpful and somehow the team spirit was there.
After the obstacles, we needed to casevec casualties. 100m via human lifting, 200m via stretcher. Casualty evacuation was shag. And Edwin was the one on the stretcher.
My forearm was flexed to the maximum and I was about to let go the stretcher that Edwin was lying on. My grip was lousy, my palms were sweating cats and dogs. I needed tremendous arm power back then to compensate my gripping strength like the last time during SOC. Fortuitously, I hung on. I don't know why.
Edwin is an important friend? Or was it because that there were female officers looking?
JianHong and Matthew carried me as well, I felt so fat and heavy. They were struggling.
Other than the casevec thing, it was really fun. Once again, good job everyone.
