Army Short Stories

Army Short Stories

haha i still haven't stopped laughing... anyway here are some of the stuff kenneth and jonathan shared with me today... i really feel like joining the army now... so fun! i betcha some guys are gonna kill me over this, but it really does sound fun... =)

Grenades

dangerous stuff these are... but the practice grenades are cool! Kenneth told me that some of his didn't work... thus, everyone were rethrowing them again, stomping on them etc. can you imagine grenades that don't work? haha in jon's case, his officer told them "no flying, no bowling etc." it's the way the grenades are thrown you see... jon's actions were well... silly... haha

Rifles and Ammunition

oh gosh, i've always wanted to carry a rifle... =D but can you believe the cost of those ammunition?! kenneth told me one round costs a few thousands or something like that. it was so mathematical, and he was sprouting numbers at me non stop. it was blurry, but basically, for one practice it costs about a million! wah if you waste any bullets, won't the army feel the pain? haha i mean, it costs a bomb! There's also the one about kenneth's friend's barrel melting. -.- shot too many rounds at one time. Jon's friend was worse, his bullet flew to the right, when he was actually aiming for the center. if everyone's aiming is that wonderful, i really have to say "God bless Singapore".

Wild Animals

Kenneth and gang (battalion) were shooting birds... learning how to hunt i guess... it seems that they shoot everything but the birds, and they were flying only overhead... ah well, i'm still happy. i feel for those poor birds. jon's side had to do with crocodiles. VERY thick skin crocodiles. oh this was hilarious! i coulnd't help but burst out in peels of laughter! They shot this crocodile in the back, adn the bullet literally bounced back! haha obviously all the humans tunred back and ran away. haha kenneth said in order to kill a crocodile, you have to shoot directly into it's mouth or it's eyes (brain is behind those eyes). gosh it's so cruel, but I guess if it were me, I would probably shoot for my life, in order to survive. Aha, here comes the two boar stories. =) Kenneth's friend once shot a boar, but it is also pretty tough, so it just continued running, even though there was blood flowing. poor boar! =( I would rather it die than to run around badly wounded. Bleeding to death is mroe painful, right? Anyway, jon had a story to tell of his own. haha i saved the best for last. It was incredulous, i nearly wet my pants. 2a.m. in the morning, he was sleeping in his tent when he smelled something. It was a huge boar! jon quickly fumbled in his food pack, and threw out one of the food he most disliked, for the boar. OH HOHO! It seemed our hero has a very fantastic aim. The food thing landed on his friend's tent! Thus, all of a sudden there was a lot of "omph fwah pfrump!" The boar has stamped all over jon's friend! Thank goodness the poor guy had no fractured bones or anyhting like that. All he got out of his one-in-a-lifetime experience were bruises.

Therefore, i wan to join the army! =) sorry jon, i'm never going to follow in your footsteps. No way san hosea am i gonna be associated with math or calculations of any sort. Your department will kill me. Now kenneth's role is more exciting. Drivers i can associate with, but math? nah... haha... loisa, a driver... so cool! =)
