Hey, the way you described, are you really in the army? Can't even said AR15 or M16? They are all machine guns. And what is elite infantry combat unit?? They are the Guards Units equivalent to Commando units.
John Tan sounds like he is from the Salvation Army....leading a group of people to collect used clothing and distributing them to the poor.
me thinks he served his vocation as a 5bE
Maybe you go down ask Ah Gong what he really meant and come back relay to us ? We can wait.
KNN, Got guns no bullets what for? Camps don't store ammunications when they need it then go to ammo unit to draw, the security there is very tight, the roads are zig zag with bumps for very short distances. I went there once during my BMT to draw bullets for marksmanship. You know what is marksmanship? KNN.
John maybe only served in CD (Civil Defence)(white shirt and blue pants) armed only with a baton and always hiding behind coffeeshops to eat snake while on duty. Of course,he don't know what is GPMG ? Of course he don't what is assault rifle AR 15 ? When he said elite infantry combat unit maybe he mean the "Hokkien " Red Badge Infantry Unit everyday swear KNNCCB.........LOL
Your ah gong also never served in uniform. Simi lanjiao machine gun unit? Never heard of it. U think WW2 where there a heavy weapons company in each battalion? Infantry platoon only one gpmg., 3 men crew. Armour infantry platoon 3 gpmg, carry by one men each plus ammo. Firepower easily overwhelm your lousy machine gun team. Elite my ass.
Section Leaders and OCS must go under training only in SAFTI, I doubt he knew how many towers are there in SAFTI, which is the dirtiest tower. Deep inside the live firing area there is Boat Shed, we called it. My HQ Coy provided guards there and also at Seribun.Elite infantry my arse.
Cannon fodder just like the rest of us. Spec kee lan.
hanor, if you had to say a prayer, it'd be "bless us oh my pappie lord and saviour, for these thy free food"....
I recall the Boat Shed. Those two on guard duty, do not carry AR 15, only to sticks ( handles for changkul).
i’ve done guard duty at the “dirtiest” tower. last shift. so lonely and quiet sexcept for buzzing and chirping of insects. started to dream and all of a sudden strong winds howled and spoiled my wet dream. checked my watch, and i had only 6.9 minutes to scamper back to fall in. by then it’s dawn and had to run like a coyote. thinking back it must be the collective “force” that first whispered and then howled when i refused to escape from the grasp of the lady in my dream.
Comrade Tan, really your PRC buddies no standard. Very low class. You know
