'Driving Tanks'

Finally, da driving phase has started 2 kick off.. Well, it was both a gd n bad thing abt it.. As in it has bonded both anger, happiness, sadness within.. Well, den let me start frm da first day wen da driving phase kicks off..

Firstly, lets start wif da initial stage of preparing da tank 4 driving.. Before we start da driving tank, we gt 2 do da safety check wich is called Before Operation Service, BOS 4 short.. Den as da 1st tim trainee, we al 'gabra' here n dere.. B4 hand we know wad 2 chek, bt we stil 'gabra' here n dere.. Duno wad size of socket or tool 2 open da bolts n nuts.. We juz screw it up n drag it damn long.. Den sam thing n consequences we juz tio f***ed lik any other ppl.. Cz we missed out 1 v impt chek wich is ramming of engine 2 chek da transmission n fuel.. Den we jz mak da whole day da instructors jz al grumpy hol day.. Bt den it was only in da afternoon, tt da instructors' temper gt beta.. Haha.. Den we wer al taught hw 2 drive da tank.. 2 me, it's jz pure fun n enjoyable 2 drive da tank on da road.. Thou it's full of mud n soil, bt lest it's beta den driving on da real road, n spoil it.. Lest dese is wad I tink.. Haha.. Den tt's da first day of driving as it only included da day driving..

Den second day, we did da sam thing again.. Bt dis tim we wer able 2 chek faster as we alr hands-on before, n know wad 2 chek.. So we wer a litle faster compared 2 da previous day.. Den we went on n met da timing, n nv miss any of da timing.. Congrats 2 us, bt dn we gt da Cat 1 status.. Cat 1 status is whereby a lot of thunderstorms n lightning, hence deemed as hazards.. No trng is 2 b conducted.. At da sam tim, 3 tanks nids refilling, so we waited 4 da skid tanker 2 com.. Den during tt tim, it rained and den stop.. Rain n stop 4 several cycles.. We haf 2 stop refilling at certain pt of tim due 2 da rain as da water mixing wif da disel wld cause contamination.. Den we wld haf a hard tim 2 clean da fuel tank as we haf 2 drain da disel out.. N den it's nt lik 30 litres lik tt lorz.. It's in hundreds n thousands in my case.. So we jz mak sure it doesn't mix or blend 2 avoid dis trouble.. Lest I learn 1 mor new thing abt my tank.. Den aft da toping up, we went 2 proceed on wif da trng.. Den my instructor was dere wif us til da thing is finished, n I supp he's v hungry.. Cz wen he reached da trng shed, he jz whack da packet of breakfast.. Den he proceed on wif da trng wif us.. Den we proceed on 2 nite guiding such as parking veh in a confined space.. It's quite fun.. Den we gt 2 stay til uite lat 4 da nite driving..

As I gt nite blindness, I drive damn slow.. Den I jz stick wif da vehicle in front of me.. Ca I cldnt c a thing at tt tim, except da brake lights of da veh in front of me.. Dn I jz managed 2 execute al da turnings quite ok.. Dn nv kena lik wad I did in da day cz turning 2 early n sharply.. Mistake learned n rmb it.. So nv kena f***ed.. Dn we jz chop chop go n finish n bac 2 camp.. It was lik nearly ard 12am.. Al damn tired n shag.. Den we al tried 2 rush n mit da timing given.. So I was 2 kan jiong tt I jz 4gt 2 my helmet wen I dismount n mount da tank, so jz owe 40 2 da instructor.. Den we al jz chiong bac 2 our unk 2 wash up n do da necessary thing such as packing our signal stores n wash out clothes.. Den I only managed 2 slp at ard 1230 midnight.. De nxt day woke up at 5, den 5.15 gt 2 fall in.. It's all chionging again..

Den dis tim rd, our safety chek gt a little mor faster den da previous day.. Den dis tim we gt do da track tension thing.. Tak out a damn big spanner, ard 3/4 of my ht, n it's termed Little Joe.. Den we jz turn a few rds lik ard 10+ lik tt.. Den off we go 2 da new grds 2 do our driving.. Dis tim rd gt mor slopes n it means gt mor obstacles.. Den dis tim, I drove wif even mor caution.. As I dun wish 2 mak hist by me being da first 1 2 b involved wif any accident.. Den executed da turnings n everything other thing well enuf, except da narrow gap.. So jz gt 2 buck up on my narrow gap.. Den I oso duno hw com I'm so heng 2 tio dis vehicle.. Can die out halfway due 2 no batt.. Den I gt 2 purge it.. It's lik a handbrake thingy of a car, den jz pump it up n down lik ard 10+ to 20+ tim.. Den managed 2 start da batt.. Quite gd n ok la.. Den I gt 2 purge it lik 3 times at lest.. All at da slopes.. Damn scarry lorz.. Cz if my tank slide down, it means gd luck 2 da tank behind me.. Bt luckily, I'm able 2 complete it well n safe.. N I thank 4 it.. Cz til nw, I'm stil damn afraid of my tank.. Den we ended da trng early, dn we went 2 unload evreything, n clr da tank of signals n everything.. Den we briefly did our AOS.. Den jz went bac 2 slp..

Da nxt day meaning our bk out day.. We gt 2 do full service n cleaning of our tank.. Such as tightening our track n greasing.. Den we did frm ard 11+am cz gt SOC in da morning til ard 10 plus lik tt.. Den we juz chiong al da way 2 finish so tt we can bk out early.. Den we cleaned til quite late lik ard 9plus.. Den wen I bk out, it's alr nearing 10+pm.. Den luckily, sb offered 2 fetch me.. So nt so bad wen I reach hm.. Ard 11pm I reached hm.. Den was so tired tt I jz unpacked, n bathed, den jz slumped on da bed.. Falling aslp asap, lik ard les den 2 mins.. Was so god damn tired.. Bt I gues it's lik a gd lifetim experience..

Haha.. So afterall, I did enjoy da course so far as nth unpleasant has happened yet.. Jz hope da nxt few wks, wld b saf n sound.. Nth bad wld happen.. 6 mor weks b4 joining bac 2 MEC.. Yea.. Looking damn forward 2 it.. Haha..
