Firing the weapons.

You already know waking up early in the morning around 6 am sucks, I have to wake up at 4am to go for range and the best of all is on weekends.

So where the heck i get a transport TO TUAS? My father ain't fetching me cause of work so our sir have help us out since he live at hougang area, close to my side and another guy.

It turn out we were early when we reach hougang station and our sir seem to be earlier then expected. Once reach camp, we draw arms.. (i wanna sleep)

After all the miserable tasks, we proceed to pasir lebar camp for grenade launcher firing. It turns out that it is actually so damn far inside the back of the camp till you reach a place expose to the hot sun making the place look like a desert. A demo is shown to us how to firing and follow by a safety brief. Each person have to fire 4 shells. The firing was fun and the sound of the grenade shot is kinda cute.

After all the shots, there is spare so we fire again before heading back to camp. The recoil hurts..

The lorry broke down on our way back so we are stuck in a middle of nowhere. Help came later

Day 2 of firing is another heavy weapon. A machine gun.

This day is fast EXCEPT WAITNG FOR A SMALL BOX OF AMMO WHICH TOOK MORE THAN AN HOUR! Cant blame it cause there is two people ahead of us drawing ammo too.

Super fun, you miss = still hit. I got a good score except for kneeling position. Moving targets are fun =)

After all the excitement, we go back to clean the rifles and then head back camp for more tasks.
