Due to my fever, I didn't even attend the Ops Order or rehearsal, so I practically know nothing about this mission.
Walked more than 10km (the last 1km is much more tiring than the previous 9km, I swear) and it reminds me of Brunei's Biang.
47 and 4M got contacted by 3 x BTR (as per last mission) after we broke off contact with the main body and the CMTs got off wittily. The two of us had to hide in the bush in awkward positions for more than 30mins, only to find that the enemies left after 10mins and after that it was all our own empires (-.-); it made me feel like a special force though, avoiding detection at so close a distance.
Anyway, Panthers at 1A reached "objective" (I'm still not sure if that's where they were supposed to go) without enemy but got contacted by BTR in the morning and when 47 and I went to the area, we had a total of seven (not casualty) but FTF fighters. (WTF!!!). We still managed to defend though, and I almost fired a shot (twice actually) only to realize it was friendly forces chit-chatting above us and in the other case, umpire snoring. -.-
And the whole mission dragged till 1pm when we all expected it ti end by 7am.
Finally, 48 gave the instruction to "Heaven now"
That is the real Heaven that we all have been waiting for. Long awaited...
And so, ATEC ended without me firing a shot;
not a shot in Taiwan actually...

Mission 2: Lucky or not
Move-out timing postponed by half a day cos of admin issues,
H-hour changed and enemy didn't get the tip-off, so their activities increased many-fold just before the time for our initial H-hour (we were still bashing near LS at that point of time)
Though we had to camo twice and stay at a cold Ferrari (when we were supposed to withdraw when the cold comes in) and worst, we met the rain; the mission was a success (in my POV, I think it was too messy; we ended up have to make our own way back to the WPS because we got stuck with the BTR and couldn't receive reinforcement)
Anyway, generally we thought others did better though our coy's SRTs are the only ones not caught, but we all ended up with Redcon 1 for this mission.
Not bad, Bn!

Comms parade and POP and everything about ROC
That's all you see on Facebook now.
It sucks, I don't get to have a taste of commissioning.
I'm really missing out a lot, and I don't like that.

Nostalgic Taiwan
Last time to Taiwan, I wanted to forget her.
This time, we're friends.
But I want to forget another her...
I can't believe after so long, she's still stuck in my mind.

Some responsibilities are hard to shirk; and when they finally come and the expectations set in, you stress out and crank.
"Good job Jason, just that people don't respect the rank"
It's been a long time since I've received praises (last time, it was the same person) and this one, I'll humbly accept, for it comes at great costs.

Nights out in Taiwan!
Rural experience.
Food tour.
Clubbing gang.
Nothing compared to the REAL night (sneak) out!
But still, it's weird to have such arrangement.

What the Taiwan?!?!
"Notice the leakage of electricity"
and the cold water with red marking and hot water with white one.
and the water that doesn't heat up every fortnight and doesn't even appear few times a week.
and all the other weird translation of English.
LOL

Heartwarming
Before I left or the airport, Shuan text me to check if I've woke up for the flight. I thought he wanted to send me but he replied: "no la, I scared you oversleep then never go". Not bad.
After the second mission while resting, the whole company was suddenly looking for me to make a phone call back home. I thought something serious happened but it turns out that dad and mum were just worried that I haven't called home for quite a while. I never did when I'm overseas, not the first time. But anyway, though I never say so, sorry mum, to have made you worried.
CSM saved me!
The pole was falling directly above me. He held on to it, but it was too heavy and he couldn't support it, so it fell and he cut his finger on the concertina wire. Thank god he swayed it sideways or it would have hit me...
