What am I suppose to do? What am I suppose to say?
Another "out of the Blue" order came through. I am to commence following the BMI training in Lumut. Talk about being shocked. That makes my daily routine to be as below.
0730 BMI Training
0900 prepare to go to Penanjong
1030 arrive in penanjong
1400 POC/PTI AARM Training
1730 finished
If talking about the amount of training, I am quite nervous as to whether my body can take it or not. As for logistics, I seriously doubt that I will be able to cope the commute, even if I were to stay in Lumut.
My family will now take the luggage compartment in the boot (not even the backseat), as the administration seem more screwed than ever.
On the brighter side, I will definitely lose weight (that is what they want). It is like back to recruit training, but in two, very far apart training areas.
Makes me go back to the thoughts of whether I should even stay in the army or not.
The only things keeping me here are my wife and soon to be born child. Too much to think now...

Sport: Swim
Having my skimpy lunch after a midday swim training. Today was mainly drills, so I was focusing more on my swimming technique.
I started with a warm up of 4 widths. Then proceeded with my training.
15 bubbles.
2 widths kicking (I really suck at this)
Rest.
6 width pull float. 10 bubbles in between.
10 widths paddle assisted. 15 bubbles in between (exhausted!).
4x 25m sprint. 10 second float in between.
4 width cool down.
It seems that I have not improved at all from the previous week. I hope I can remedy this in the following weeks. It is an uphill challenge that I must succeed come July.

Turn of Events
I sit here, thinking about the past couple of hours.
This turn of events puts me at an unsteady place. I had just recently finished a course in Penanjong, and was ready to get back to my daily work routine. A certain event had recently transpired (sounds posh), where Kurt had been selected to go to IMT. Why is this important?
He left the AARM Team, and left an opening for a Team Captain. I was not expecting that I would be chosen, but I received the news last night from Tn Zul. I was to report to the Shooting Ranges at 0730 in the morning.
I got to the shooting range and mindlessly did not know what to do.
Come Midday, Tn G Yu and Tn Khairil mentioned that there should be a change in the appointments, considering that everyone of the Team Captains were new. So, after the afternoon briefing, there was an appointment change. I was not too fussed as I have yet to settle in.
It turns out that I am chosen to be the Rifle Team Captain, and so I will start training with the men tomorrow.
What will happen with my daily routine? How will I cope? Is this a blessing in disguise? Or is this the bitterness at the end of the lollipop? Only time will tell.
I can not think too much apart from the need to perform in the taskings that have been passed out. As the saying goes, "You can only work the cards with the hand that you have been dealt with"
I need to sit on this one. And I know that I need to really think about this...
