24th May 2006

I thought monday was bad...ha monday was small potatoes compared to today.

Good News:Went for school quite awake despite sleeping at 12 last night.
Bad News:Teachers all came to class and we were forced to organize stuff.

Good News: We tried out rifle for npcc today.
Bad News:Rifle drills with a real rifle is hard.

Npcc drills are spilt into foot, baton and rifle. Of course, rifle drills are like, THE HARDEST? Lee Enfield rifles aren't well known for their light weight either(I'm being sarcastic here?)

It weighs around 4kg...and it doesn't help that it's a bit rusty and rusok (taking up arms) is just painful on your finger...so the two rehearsals we were kinda...lousy for our standard.

U can't expect people who've just learned rifle drills(with a real rifle) to perform well can u? But noooo that was no excuse, we were still scolded later.

After both rehearsals came the real torture..rifle training. But hey, we learned and perfected the rifle drills. But by the time it came to marching, my mind was totally brain-dead and i couldn't remember how to really march nicely.. Ah well, only around 30push-ups. BUT THE RIFLE IS SO HEAVY!!!And if we don't perform well or we don't wanna perform they can just kick us out at anytime.

And yay, we have npcc again tomorrow!!!Fun right? three times a week not including marshalling duty on friday..
