Ex ACOB
quite a hectic day and night man.we have this exercise yesterday night, or rather this morning (codename modified in view of sensitivity) in the palace in preparation of the major upcoming event. well we are supposed to know how to deal and treat with causalties with chemical-agent/bomb-associated injuries, so in events when there are terrorism or chemical warfare, we will have the capability to control the situation.
so the whole exercise was supposed to start at 1am, but we need to be there at 10.30pm. btw, it's a combined exercise with external forces. damn hot in MOPP suit! i think i am suffering from dehydation oredi cos my lips are peeling and ya know, got the dry-dry kinda feeling. tot i drank enuff before the event.
i was the MO for the 2nd team, so rightfully i become the vehicle commander for the team since i am the biggest shot around.. heez first time occupying the front passenger seat in a five tonner =). and ya, my first time visit to the palace too (and it has to be in this situation!) anyway at 1am, it started to rain heavily, so initially i tot they are going to cancel the event (which is both good and bad)- good in a way cos i am quite hungry and sleepy at that time oredi; bad cos everything is like planned way before and quite wasted if we'll have to call off. subsequently we continued the deployment lah, cos weather turned slightly fairer a bit.
i guess it is considered quite successful in a way. no major cock-ups. most of the medics are quite zai and mugged the points well. but then again, the scenarios were quite straight-forward to begin with, and i dun see the need to intubate anybody for that matter. Exercise cut at around 4am.
Then we went for a very early breakfast at a 24h mac, in my obiang attire (MOCC polo-tee, short shorts and boots!) yea i removed my MOPP suit of cos. and the guy who took our orders was, well, quite niao3 with attitude. but anyway, enjoyed my breakfast, went back to camp to bathe and sleep till 8.45am, and left for home.
yup and this kind of late-night exercise is going to repeat again for a couple of times before the real event happens.
