A prelude to what will be going on at Down Under

Taken from Mr Miyagi's blog:

"There are no power points here and the mobile signal is intermittent. So I have to turn off my phone to save power. There are no bunks here, and we're all staying in tents. Okgottago, mobilebatteryispreciousbyebye. " said Miyagi to me last night.

Three weeks in an Aussie desert, a battalion of Singapore soldiers with mobile phones without any mobile signal and no way to charge their batteries. I am surprised there isn’t already some kind of reservist uprising.

"MO sir, I dunno why leh, my hand shaking and I feel weak and faint. Maybe I need to MC or downgrade, you think? Ever since I found out I cannot sms or call my girlfriend/wife/children for three weeks, I have been feeling sick. No handphone liddat how I tell them to help me buy 4D and Toto?"

And can you imagine how difficult it would be for the I/C to gather the men who have gone for canteen break?

Oh wait. Desert has no army canteen. Not even that mobile canteen van driven by this uncle who always seems to know where to find our soldiers in the Singapore exercise areas.

What da heow?

Hell is imminent.

To all Stayback Force: Be very very happy that you all won't be joining us. Be appreciative of all the shit work thrown to you all during and after this period.
