13th Week Book Out and Close Encounter with Wild Boar

Hi Buns,

As you can see, i have survived the week of Field Camp. Yeah! So happy. While in it, time seems to pass ever so slowly while in it, thinking back of it, it seems to be fine.

Perhaps for the fact thati am not feelng well in the sense that i have difficulty in breathing and i am allergic to soil. Hmm. I also wonder to myself how come i have such an allergy. It is like i find it very hard to breathe while attending field camp.

Field Camp is really a sulky time in this phase of training. But then again it is also necessary asit better prepares us for it. Moreover, since i belong to the obese group, my field camp is much shorter than normal buns with acceptable weight and are filling fit. Those buns attend a much longer period of 6 days 5 nights outfield. Poor Buns. But what can I say, they are in a better position to endure it.

But outfield is really a test of endurance. Imagine you are unable to bath, no toilet, only makeshift latarine, eating field ration which is actually nicer than the cookhouse food, sweating a lot but cannot do anything, taking water only from jerry can to fill your water bottle, etc. Hee Hee.

As for the wild boar issue, i heard some what pig sounds on the 2nd night but then i did not bother about it. On the 3rd night i heard it again. But this time it is much nearer to me so i find it odd and decided to wake up. And guess what. The moment i wakeup i can see the wild boar smelling my boots, my LPV,my field pack which is left wild open and my helmet. It is really a very bad smell so it ignored me. But then it went to another bun, smell around, took its field pack, opened it and ran off with 1 field ration. Opps.

Later on the commanders were alerted and they scared away the wild boar using the blank rounds they loaded into the rifle they borrowed from us. However the wild boar came back again later. Wah. I heard that it came backwith some babies this time. My Sergeant woke me up and told me to shift to another area where there aremore buns sleeping.

Wait. I forget to explain. I was the nearest bun to the latarine area or rather the end area of the camp site. So if anything were to happen, i would have gotten it 1st. I am a very lucky guy.

Okay. Going out soon. Thanks for reading this post.

Yours Sincerely,
Doraemon
