Whoever wrote this is a dumbfxxk. Live firing in Sembawang? Let's watch the joker get thrown in jail.

 

Last thing i remember there was actually a range in sembawang but for pistol or something, 10 years ago. Did a live range there before fibua simulation or something.

Apparently may not be a hoax.

Sometimes exercise also can c--k-up one.....once during a FIBUA training using blanks, our trainer who's acting as the bad guy asked my friend to pass him 'some rounds' when he's low on ammo. My friend just go to the ammo area and grab a box of 'live rounds' and passed to him. He quickly ran upstairs to avoid being captured while loading his weapon then suddenly noticed that the rounds are heavier. Then he realised that it was live rounds.

 

My friend kena screwed upside down and we all have a good laugh back to base.

 

Luckily the trainer is alert else I believe the pursing officer will be........ [angel]

Ever heard on the eve of posting out. A soldier was among those on Guard duty that night. The Duty Officer called for Guards Turnout. Towards the end, when the order was given to ease spring, a shot rang out among the Guards. Immediately othe Units in the vicinity called up to offer reinforcements. The middle-aged Duty officer sat down in a daze. His career down the drain. Next morning he will enter the Guard Room. Somehow a bullet left in one firing chamber was overlooked/missed during the Duty Officer's inspection. After-thought: Two soldiers not the only victims of circumstances. I believe some/more people got mild night-blindness they are not aware of. Example: I attended night route march with some schoolmates during schooldays. It had rained earlier during that day. There were puddles of water along the route used. All the others could not see the water puddles they walked into, and got splashed wet. They asked if I did accompanied them for that route march (I was totally dry as I had detoured around each water puddle along the route). They then confessed they coulld not see the water puddles.

I think cannot fully put the blame on Dave Teo. Sometimes the unit is not sympathetic to soldier's family issues. I think things lead to one another, slow pile ups.

Mercy-mercy. Please do not catch my ball. It is for gf... What I meant is there is some useful/serious miss out in that type of training/management. No one look into incidents/accidents due to night-blindness frequencies/occurances. Of course the typical reply when we wrtite in, will be: its satisfactory [shakehead]
