oh yes... i heard that the whole detachment died or something... but it could be just rumours...

anyway, i was there at the site where the explosion was... we held a minute of silence there as a memorial to those who died there...

i must say that NZ is a beautiful place for training man... thailand on the other hand is hell...

[rookie517]

no lah, not whole detachment died
only 2
the rest badly burnt and injured.

it could be my detachment died "if"
that day, were my gun firing.

anyway, wat over is over
both of them live in the heart of bravo bty
of 257sa now...

NZ is indeed a beautiful place for training
i saw wild horses, hares, etc

RC, u no. wat man?
me no. 4 man

yupe... i guess it was exaggerated by the people in arty... what happened in that explosion actually? chamber explosion? then why would it affect your detachment if you guys shot that round?

actually, i'm a BQMS.. yeah... NZ's got to be the best training ground for SAF man... i went as advance party so i got to enjoy one week of NZ before the main party arrive...

[rookie517]

wah, not bad leh u

it is the faulty fuse that causes the explosion
which every gun have them

if our gun were to fire, 1 of the round will go off in
the chamber after ram in.

it wasnt easy for us, as we just completed our live firing last year in july in thai..

[max_nhk]

20SA 9th mono Charlie

That fuse was armed whenrammed in, so it exploded inside the chamber. The batch of fuse was brought from the US. They later found out that the US actually got it from China!!!

"China man cheat China man, so China man dies", that's what they said then.

Another one is 20SA 8th mono, shot some rounds too high in thailand and killed quite some cows...

[rookie517]

cool, u know some details
and tats gd for u!



i was from 23sa, 7th mono intake
from my time, we have killed cows in thai
cause forest fire in NZ and thai
broke farmers legs in taiwan

Yeah, he's one cool dude. Best BSM among the 3 batteries. Now married with children last I know.

I believed the NZ soldiers attached to us are their best (cannot lose face mah). Those boys go and learn vulgarities from us and started screaming at each other across tonner. "Gun 2, knnbccb!!!", "Gun 1, you *&^%", "Gun 4, 1234567",

But they're real soldiers, their specialist's rank take 6 years to obtain. Ours is 6 months...

NZ food was the best!

Cereals with free flow milk. Waaaaaa
But we got tired of it near the end of the exercise. The NS soldiers were very happy to exchange their ration with ours. Our sh*t food is their cusine while their's is ours.

Never heard of that motto, maybe that's why your unit got so many happening...

Our unit got one "Your safety, our responsibility", we change it to "Your safety, your tai chi!".

[rookie517]

oh ya

if u guys went to khatib camp b4
be4 u leave the gate

u will see a sentence
"once a gunner, always a gunner"

thus we change to
"once u kana, always kana"

hahaa

I go khatib for reservice but don't remember seeing that leh... Maybe it's buried under a pool of saliva

Think at least 80% of SAF's slogan kenna converted to 'suan siao' version.

[rookie517]

ya ya, "ptui chow nua"

maybe there's no more such sentence liao
they renovated to a new gate

never notice oso

How far did the particles flew? If what they claim about the round's damage range (40m if I didn't rem correctly) is correct, the nearby gun would have kenna also.

The recoil of firing would have caused internal injuries if one didn't stand properly. Or maybe it's the chamber that helps buffer the impact.

I only know Incek Teo as one of the people injured during that invent...

[rookie517]

some particle actually flew pretty far away

some metal fragment from the gun actually punture my gun trail leg
imagine if it were to kana one of us

really si bei heng man...

My batch has a change of command mid way which Tay took over ard then. Before that, the 3 batteries has very very garang (and very very very fierce) BSMs. One of them is Chee (Alpha), should be the HQ BSM during your time.

That's when 20SA won best unit, after that, everything goes down hill...

Tay would have got better challenge then.

[R.C]

He's nice guy alright. Do you know Raj and Henry? Don't think they're in AMQ during 10mono.


I shoot ERs in NZ till . Cos I think they ordered too many, last day everybody just wack!

The charge for ER comes in one standard pack, whole thing goes in. It's pretty heavy, and the recoil from firing ER is almost twice of the standard rounds.

Btw, ER rounds has a base made of some special materials. It'll burn when the round is fired off. So you can actually see it zoom off into the sky, kinda like a tracer bullet. Can capture with cam also.

You should be in either gun 3 or 4 right? Else you wouldn't be doing burst rate.
