3rd Week in MP

hey hey hey!!!
how are my readers doing?
hopefully better then me here. haha!

anyway.... i'll be booking in in about 2 more hrs. let me just update alil about my life in camp.

week 4 is about to begin and major events awaits. first and foremost. IPPT this tuesday, navigation at the end of the week and then the most crucial one.... my field excercise the week after.

but the event which i wanna talk most here is about my range which happened early this week. i clearly remember my last range in BMT. which ofcos i did not do well. i barely scraped thru it. and this range i had for MP, did sent some nervous vibes. i was scared i'll do as badly. plus.... the range this time is gonna be a lil more tougher.

however.... somehow there was this push factor for me to get that marksman award. one... a cash reward. and second the prestigious badge that i will be able to don on my uniform. hence i was really determine to do my best and achieve it.

hmmmm.... to surprise.... by the end of the first day of range.... the night score was out. and i had 17/20. which means i could only afford to miss 4 targets for the day should. which is 12/16
and that was no easy task. i was very much pressured. all i could thing of before the shot was missing ONLY 4 targets. as my turned came, my heart beat faster. and as soon as i was at the firing point. i tried my best to regain my composure.

it seems so fast.... everything ended. i completed my range. all shots fired... but.... the results wasnt what i expected. i missed 6. and that explains everything. i walked back with my head down. knowing that i was so close to the badge and reward. so close yet so far. only by inches. actually.... by a rifle technical fault. all i could think of then was a wasted opportunity.

anyway.... its passed.
i've got to move on.

finally, i'll like to end this post by mentioning about my baby girl. these few wees in MP was not so easy. i was busy settling down and as for her.... busy getting used to life in Business Centre. this means... i hardly have time with her. even during the weekends. i miss spending time with her. her hugs, her smile, her laughter.... everything about her. how i wish my weekends were longer. its sucks booking into camp knowing u've just not gotten enough.

Baby... i miss you! but i know we cant do anything much about it but make do with whatever we have. i have to understand your situation and i can see u've been doing the same for me. anyway.... congratulations on your move to business centre. i'm so proud of you. you've really prove yourself to be where u are now. and i believe u can go even further. seriously, i'm happy for u.


thats about it for me now. time to get ready to book in.
see ya!
