Day 3 9:19a.m
Didn't bring my notebook yesterday to Khao Meng Camp (KMC). Got a few papers to last me the next few days until we go back to Sai Yok Camp (SYC).
Moved off early morning yesterday with 120mm platoon to KMC. Since I was attached to ATGM for their NAVEX, I was required to walk with them with my SBO, rifle and field pack containing my MOP.
KMC is a 2 hr drive from SYC ( I think since I was sleeping mostly throughout the journey). Basically the place is just an open field with large, long training sheds with only 1 toilet for bathing (the water is super unhygenic) and another for businesses. There's 2 canteens selling food and drinks (as usual, non-halal). We all brought sleeping bags so the floor was bed.
Had NAVEX yesterday where we got lost trying to find the starting point. We took more than an hour to find it. With the hot afternoon sun and the cramped MB (13 ppl squeezed inside), we were sweating like mad. But thank goodness the humidity isn't that high or we would've been soaked in our own sweat.
With all the weight that the ATGM platoon had to carry, I was fortunate to only carry a field pack containing my MOP. As we got lost trying to find our starting point, we started setting off only at 1430. By then the weather wasn't as hot as before. During the 6km or so that we were supposed to walk, we rested 7 times. I didn't mind at all. Throughout the journey we encountered herds of cows, some grazing, others were running wildly while their owners herded them together.
Though the terrain was generally flat, the uneven and dusty tracks where we walked on didn;'t make me appreciate the scenery that Thailand has to offer since most os the time I was avoiding the mosaic of cow dungs that littered the tracks.
Our end point was basically back at KMC so it was easy to identify. The camp was beside a hill that has a temple at the top of it. So all we had to do was search for the hill and head towards the direction. It was easy except for the detours we had to make from the fences and cows and cactuses. Though I was a bit shagged when I returned to KMC, generally I would say the walk was alright. The heat didn't get to me, the distance was short. But for the others they arrived late into the night.
The medical centre became our sleeping area for the night. Since 120mm platoon didn't have anything for me the next day, I didn't have to wake up early but unfortunately the BCS will be stting out at 0730 so me and Chan helped the, out a bit.
Right now with Chan and MO whose snoring loudly. Time will pass lowly for sure. Haiz... only day 3. Hope those walking will be safe... really.

12:52p.m
Just taken a quick bath at the toilet meant for the officers. At least the toilet here has proper cuibicles and showers. Back in SYC all we had is a giant center tub of dirty water. Only supplied with a pail and scoop each, we had to take a bath. Certainly reminds me of the old days where I used to take a bath using a pail. The temp. is starting to soar now that it's afternoon. Went to the canteen to but mango freeze and crackers (our staple food). The drink cost 15 baht while the food costs 25 baht. Unfortunately today our lunch is combat ration. Looks like the guys won't be back till dinnertime.
