started turtle back with my booties n fins this week...

quite fun... but my shin hurts now... not used to swimming with fins

learnt side stroke on dry ground, seems quite tricky, think tmr might be doing it in the pool

yesterday before we booked out, we went for 6km run, static PT and survivor swim

survivor swim is basically jumping into the pool in no. 4 camo uniform and stripping everything, except trunks, and making a float with the camo pants



maintained my IPPT gold standard but 2.4 timing dropped to 10m02s

last week missed my ippt becos of sore eyes

the previous week before that my running was around 9m40s

guess that's what happen when slack for 2 weeks

gonna boot up to aim for diver's gold

no much evolutions this week

basically it was quite slack

was sent home on monday becos my sore eyes just recovered and they were still a little red

so i missed IPPT on monday and wed's last SOC,

which resulted in me booking out this morning

those who passed everything n didn't report sick booked out yesterday after lunch

those who didn't pass but didn't report sick were gone after dinner

only left a bunch of 23 sick chickens who were let out of camp without breakfast indented..

-_-



went to the store on thurs to draw my dive bag, dive mask, fins, booties and sealion skin suit

although it's only 5 or 6 weeks, my bmt is officially/unofficially over

drawing all these equipment means we are entering physical phase aka class 02

no diving yet, just all the intense water evolutions n lots of physical training

we were actually about to learn basic finning on thurs but it rained so there were no water evolutions

only have a rough idea of what to expect in these couple of weeks to come..

drown proofing, sea swim, sea circuit, 6km timed run

evolutions back to back

slowly getting myself mentally prepared for the things to come

funny thing we didn't get much whacking this week from the instructors..

my batch boys call it "the calm before the storm"

lol...



23rd batch have officially passed out as divers

seeing their face beaming with smiles as they wear the diver's badge on their no. 3

really feel happy for them

u earned it guys! hope to be able to join u at OPS side soon next year :)



yep. nothing much else to blog at the moment

gonna meet up with sier and the rest for some fellowship tonite

meanwhile i'm off to jog to buy some breakfast for my family
