Long March!

Disclaimer: The name, rank and what branch my friend is working for has been changed for his privacy. He allowed me to post his pictures so for the people who knows him when you see his picture, do not mention out his name in the comments.

I was YM-ing my friend, Badam the other day. He was an Airforce officer, with rank of Lieutenant. We decided to go for a long, long march the other day. If you people want to know how it is, click the map below.


That is not even the full journey! I started out from Matang, then I went to Jalan Kulas and went all the way to KMTC Bus Station. From there I walked to Satok Road which wasn't very far (checkpoint 2 on the map) and that's where I met him. He's an ex-airforce officer honourably discharged for matters that I shouldn't disclose. In this article I shall only address him as Tuan Badam. When he met me at the bus stop at Satok Road he suddenly said, "Front-Support Position Down!" jokingly, which was a command for pumping.

Despite the long journey both of us had a great time talking about military, music, security and many more. We kept on talking about this SF guy we knew. He taught me bits of "Kawad Tempur Seksyen" while waking and we joked around about our memories. He's going to be stationed to Bintulu soon so this time was a great time to spend with a friend.



Us in our dripping wet t-shirts quenching our thirst while finding our way across town.


When it rained both of us decided to stay for a while at a cineplex and since the rain got heavier we decided to watch a movie with our sweaty t-shirts dripping wet (lol).



Before and after views from the cineplex. The rain was real heavy so we watched a movie to wait for the rain to settle.





Selamat Petang Tuan Badam, kami dari skuad Bravo berkekuatan seramai 50 orang, dalam baris 45, seorang berada di medik, 2 mengambil ujian medikal, 2 menjalani kursus, siap sedia, untuk menerima arahan yang selanjutnya, Tuan!

For people who have been reading my blog for quite a while, you guys must have wondered, did I go for the Coast Guards interview. For your information, I did not go because it's not worth it becoming an enlisted man if I'm still studying.
