Field Camp
Field Camp is over!!
Imagine 6 days without a proper bath, without a proper brushing of teeth, 4 days without excreting waste matter from your anus, and 6 nights of night blindness.
The only incentive of field camp is to allow me to escape from light pollution caused by urbanisation and for once understand the meaning of "starry starry night".
The last time I see such beautiful stars was at Perth, Australia about 4 years back.
Field camp, for some reasons, felt similar to the 1-night camp I had in the woods of Perth. The darkness, the vegetation, the cold nights that never fail to interrupt my beauty sleep, the night-time physically-demanding activities, it seems like a deja vu. Only that it was much more enjoyable 4 years ago.
Honestly speaking, I have not learnt much from this field camp. I don't think my combat fitness and knowledge have improved after this field camp. If I had to say, I would think that this field camp has made me more appreciative of civilisation and comfort.
I am just glad that field camp is over for me. For now. Hopefully it's for good.
P.S. Combat rations (i.e. food pre-packed by SAF in green vacuum-sealed packs which are to be brought along by soldiers in their field packs) actually taste much better than the food we eat at the cookhouse back at camp.
