The ism here, which is like a csm in army is a mother fucker. Im not sure whats his real name but he can be addressed as turbanator, singh or even THE ONE. He wears this strap across his chin to push down his thick hair and the strap pushes up the fats on his face, making him look like a poodle.

The way he gives command is just hilarious. You can never hear the first part of the command properly. However, the last part of the command is fucking loud. take for example ka kanan pu sing which will come from his mouth as #$%@ SING!!!. And when he shouts the last part of the command, the back of his foot lifts off from the ground, so hes like jumping up and down. The first time i saw him do that i thought he was trying to be funny and make us feel at home. Whats worst is that hes oblivious to the fact that everyone is moving in different directions when he commands.

During reharsal for commander's parade,
ISM: If the si.. si... situa.. si..ah
Parade: ...
ISM: si..si
Parade commander: Sir, situation?
ISM: ah yes thats the word
Parade: ...

life is too short to fuck up

After the last post on bmt, i thought that it would be some time before i wrote about the bmt people again. Sadly, this morning i went with a few guys from the platoon to pay our respects to 2nd SGT Ridhuan who died on wednesday. We still do not know exactly how he died as the plt sargent did not say. Its sad that someone who is combat fit just leaves us out of the blue.
