driving!
Just had a full week of driving! (: We made big progress in a week! We started from scratch - total newbies - and now we can already clear various obstacles including anti-armour obstacles and natural obstacles like gullies (:
Started with flat terrain on monday, with basic steering, reversing and directing lessons. Following which, we changed site to a more advance driving course from tues onwards, where we had to clear sharp bends, slopes, gullies, ditches, and even stop on slope. We also learnt to park our vehicle properly (: Being quite a n00b on tues, i acherli changed from D gear to reverse gear instead of low gear cos i was still unfamiliar to the gears and my instructor got down the vehicle and threw his helmet at me. zomg. my lip banged onto the tank and bled quite a bit. still hurts ): booooo
but as the days progressed, i gradually became more confident, and dared to hold on to the accelerator more (: hehhs. but the TRUE tank riding experience comes when u r in the gunner spot and the driver is speeding like crazy. hehhs. its really freaky to stand up there, knwing u can fly off if the driver doesnt drive well.
due to a lack of tanks, we had been detailed to practice on the vehicles, and so there was quite a bit of waiting time where we got to chat with each other and talk random rubbish. (: driving package was quite fun on the whole!
then on fri we had to break track and service our vehicle. thats the start of the sian part. summore monday hav to wash and maintain the vehicle. ): can spend the whole day cleaning lohhh. sadly, driving package is ending nxt week, and following which will be gunnery lessons which are a lot less fun. ): plus our sat and sun will be burned this following weekend. so im rly not looking fwd to this book in anymoree.
was pretty shocked by charts today. yanzi's gu ji gu ji dropped even b4 it clinched 1st position. it was 2nd last week. just this weeeeny bit closer ): hopefully it will make a graceful rebound nxt week ;)
