Here's my little contribution...
My most happening incident was when i was wearing two white bars. There was once the wing had to go to tekong for training.
One particular night, my section was walking around the forest, but due to fatigue (from carrying sect comd bag and saw), my knees felt so pain that i told my instructor i couldnt walk any further.
To my surprise, my instructor told me to stay put while the section moves ahead. He said a LR will come pick me up soon. So basically i was left alone, with no compass, no map, pitch dark in the middle of the forest. Then suay suay my torchlight also spoilt. All i had was my rifle, some blanks, and some cyalume sticks.
I thought help would come soon, but after waiting for nearly 2 hours, i was beginning to think if i was forgotten -_- The darkness and the silence of the surrounding accompany me for the whole time. I didnt dare to sit down at first, and kept standing still staring into the dark space in front. I dare not look up, in case i see something im not suppose to. But eventually i succumbed to my weak knees and just sat on the ground and quietly wait. But i was on high alert the whole time, thinking that if i doze off, that's it for me liao.
At one point i heard some leaves rustling near me, and i was getting ready to fire a few warning shots using my blanks to scare whatever the hell is there. But the sound eventually stopped so i didnt have to fire.
Towards the end of the wait, i was also thinking of using the cyalume sticks to create a starting point and try to find my way to a main road or something instead of being trapped in the forest.
But heng ah, eventually i saw 2 LR headlights and my instructor shouting my name after around 2 hours. Later he explained the LR cannot come in to my location just now due to blockage.
