[Bang bang!]
I've never been good at range. I failed my range in BMT and also when I was in my active unit. I remember being called to go for range 30 minutes after coming back from outfield, with camo cream still on my face and smelling like a pack of salted fish. I did pass, but it was a really trying experience. And I was so pissed that they made me go without letting me know beforehand.
Since then, the range requirements have changed. It's actually easier now, if you want my opinion. It's no longer an individual effort, but a section effort. That's what we did for this year's ICT.
This is the first time I went to range using an automatic weapon. All weapons used in the past for range were semi-automatics. I wasn't expecting anything, after all, using an automatic weapon makes it harder than if I was using a semi-automatic.
Hence, I was really surprised that I shot really well. Exceptionally well, in fact. I got full-score for the day-shoot, as did my section. We were the only section to pull that off. Unfortunately, one of my section-mate's LAD wasn't working properly in the night and he missed all his shots. Otherwise, we would surely have gotten full-score for the night shoot as well. Personally, I missed a grand total of one shot for both the day and night shoot combined.
If you haven't been for the new range, take my advice, get your weapon zeroed properly. The $200 is there for the taking. Easiest money from SAF ever.
I found out during ICT that someone I know has been working at a recruitment agency for over a year, doing IT recruitment.
I wonder how different my life would be right now if I knew that beforehand, before I took my current job.
So many what-ifs...
