Today, precisely at 12:00, me and my fellow NCC land cadets were granted permission to leave and put on our gargantuan uniform and have lunch before we took a bus to Amoy Qwee Camp. It was already 1:20 when we reached there, we had to retrieve a rifle from the armory, freshly oiled and ready.

This is Train-fire.

A tiring but interactive way of allowing all NCC cadets to gain knowledge of the gas ignition weapons they would hold out in the fray of war. By knowing this in Train-fire, we will have a great advantage in national service (Great for us!).

However the entire program is sometimes tiring and draggy, I personally find that the rifles were not in their best condition and also some of the training seniors were incompetent and draggy. Mine was quite good and was straightforward but another platoon got this guy who sounded boring and like he has just lifted a monolith.

Also, due to my blood test, I was unable to hold my rifle well, currently my hand feels tired and heavy and both the spots that were used to draw blood are especially painful.

Although I have my complaints, I have to say it was quite informative and enjoyable cause at the end we had a competition on who could dismantle their rifle the fastest, I got 3rd among the 5, not bad...I think...
