Route March 1

In view of optimal combat fitness for our ATEC in May, we are supposed to go for 3 route marches in Feb, Mar and Apr. As usual, though I am C9L2, even SAF do not need you, they will still recall you.

This was evidently proven yesterday yet again in the history of the SAF. Those downgraded, MCed, or somehow couldn't do the march was suppose to help out as water points, safety or preparing ration.

During our death wait, found out the num of people "Bah Long Long" here and there can form a company minor !

The march started around 9 am, 12km, 15 mins rest for every 4km. The guys were back around 12+. "Cock up" has become a standard in SAF, with the need to pack 552 boxes of lunches. *In the first place, not sure why need to pack ? The cookhouse was only 20m away from the parade square. Also we could not packed and delivered fast enough so somehow think maybe not all people ate and already out-processed. Got 552 persons meh ?*

9 bags to pack the food, each bag can put 21 boxes, so ...... Hmmmmm .... 189 boxes each trip, so 3 trips at least !!! And the need to empty 9 bags each time after you delivered to the parade square. And most people with outprocess in their minds, food wasn't the first priority.

In the end, bo chuped, we just left with boxes I think left at the parade square and in the cookhouse.
