Plenty of news on B1's exercise and live firing since PM Lee Hsien Loong is there to witness the whole exercise. He made news with all his comments. All positive about the sacrifices of NSmen. It is called Exercise Wallaby in Rockhampton. Now that it is in the news I can blog about it openly.
Exercise Wallaby is the longest trip B1 has gone out for. I hope he has no more trips before he ORD in March next year. ORD used to be called ROD, or run out date. I remember always counting the days to ROD i.e. number of days before running out! I guess the Army change ROD because in NS we are all looking to run out. Yipppeeee!! no more sadistics torture and restricted life! It is happy time when ROD happens. Army change from ROD to ORD which now means Operationally Ready Date. Now it means you are fully trained and ready for war. So it does not bring the same feelings as ROD. So instead of being a "Reservist" which means you only go to war when fulltime NS men are not enough, you are now NSmen which mean if there is a war, you are activate right away.
Anyway, I think B1 will have to decide which school he want to go - NUS Law or UCLA Economics. I hope he made a good choice for his career.
His two younger brothers told the Korean exchange student that the food will be better when their older brother is back. They are looking forward for their brother to be home for dinner. Yes, we all are happy that he will be back home next Tuesday. It will be nice for him to rest at home and be with the family.
