Ok. I'm fine now.
Sian. In-service tmr. Off day burnt.
Anyway I don't understand why these people have to be so sneaky about base intrusion exercises. Its like, yeah, you wanna test the alertness of sentries, but sending a fibreglass sampan at 3am in the morning? Its bad enough that a fibreglass sampan has only one all-round light. To make it worse, its hardly visible at night and the all-round light blends in perfectly with the background lights.
So, feeling extra on, I was sitting at the jettyhead at 3am, and I had to really squint to see the sampan that was moving erratically across the Gul Basin waters, and drifting suspiciously.
And then they sneaked off after we shined our searchlights at them. I highly doubt its a fishing sampan, I mean who fishes at 3am on a Monday morning, at Gul Basin, of all places?
Realistically speaking, Police Coast Guard bases are pretty safe, being located at the most ulu parts of the island. I highly doubt a terrorist would know the location of our base when 90% of the residents living in the vicinity of the base don't know its existence. lol.
Irritating sia these intrusion exercises.
