Had a re-fieldcamp for those who missed the original fieldcamp. It was not fun nor practical at all. Only a handful of names were submitted. Especially those who had missed 3 days or more of the fieldcamp. So another spec and i were volunteered to do this re-fieldcamp. Ok how was the selection done? Platoon 3 n 4 has the most number of people re-fieldcamping, so we had to provide the ground support. Duty schedule was checked, and it points to me who is free. Arrows flies... right on target.
However, to me the re-fieldcamp is a worthwhile trip out of the urban area. Time pasts much more slowly when we are inside the greens. Unsuprisingly, we the specs were given the task to teach the noobs how to survive in the forest and all the skills they require to survive. There isn't much to teach them even if we get into the details. If we spam too much onto them they will not remember too. When i was still a recruit everything just went in and out too, minus the important parts. Because what we teach is so basic, it might not be practical for use in the future but that will be up to their next unit to see if it makes sense to change the teachings.
There was insufficient time to let them practice what we taught them. But the main aim was jsut to let them feel how it is like to survive out in the field and to spend a night there. It wasn't really that close to being the real outfield, but its a start.
