BACK FROM TAIWAN

ok, the three weeks is finally over. after all the shit i went through in roc, i think i truly earned by 3 strip. it's coming to me in 3 weeks time. 3 months of tough training in sispec and 21 weeks of shit that i went through in SOA change my opinion of being a specialist. an a.i. sergent truly earn his rank.

When i arrive in taiwan at cks international airport, there wasn't time for us to rest. immediately, we boarded the coach to our camp. then began the admin stuff we've to do. take out stores, take over vehicles, prepare standard field back, stand by area. It was truly demoralising as some of us can't even call back home. the second day it was outfield outfield and outfield. the weather there began hot. around end of september, typhoon made a sharp turn about roc but we still manage to get the rain. temperature drop to as low as 16 degrees when we're doing our navi.

Memorable things that happen during our training n RNR includes:

• our 10 times (could be more ) dismounting the BX cos sergent was not satisfield with our fire movment.
• the 3 days 2 nights of washing vehicle cos tech squad was not satisified.
• the missing of the $1700 plus top ranch ( in the end some asshole took it by mistake).
• our GPMG, night vision device and periscope being taken away from our vehicle at night due to unorganised sentry duties.
• foot rot-s.
• bin lang mei (hot chicks ) we've seen when convoying.
• tasty taiwan dishes in camp.
• porn. condom.
• running into farm animals during our navi hiking
• seeing the scenary on top of plateaus and hills.
• jinyuan collapsing
• misfirings
• sleeping in a haunted tower
• end-of-frame dinner
• crazy amusement park rides
• safari tour
• nights out at simen ding. the city life
• the ROC military police's arms drill for guard mounting at chuang lei shi
• nights out at shi lin ye shi ( shilin night market), a place filled with road-side food, clothings , shoes (basically anything with fashion) . Imagine heeren on the streets. it's very big , we spent 2 days shopping there. When i'm choosing clothings for u-know-who , all the shop assistants give me "the-look". so tat's memorable 2.
• taiwan 101. yes the tallest building in the world
• eating pork burger for breakfast at Macs.
• searching the whole damn city for money exchanger
• eating famous dishes ( ah zhong mian xian, ma la steamboat, ... etc)
• shopping marathons ( did i just say that)

yap basically the can kind of sum up wat happen. i didn't bring my camera but jinyuan took lots of pics of us n taiwan with his nikkon pro camera. ( he's mad about photography.) will post pics next time then.
