Last duty was supposed to be great. Being on a public holiday, there'll be no drills and turning out with DO PL means to stay in station and enjoy the rest of the day. However, it turned out that I'll be transferred to LF122 instead.

All thanks to someone.

The following event was also supposed to be not bad. Our LF brokedown just outside the station bus stop, but we waited from 09 30 to 12 00+ just for the tow-truck to bring it back to station to unload the equipment before heading to senoko.

We thought we could get back our own LF by evening but STN 41 didn't, and we didn't took their spare one as well, so we went back to station LF-less. That means no turn out for the whole duty!!

The brutal truth came when we came back from STN 41 - a firefighter and I had to cover sentry at the fire post for the fire bikers as they need to sleep. That means no sleep for the whole duty!!!!

However, on the brighter side of the unfortunate events, Sgt aris and Sgt azman were the fire bikers; not some old regulars who only brat about their glorious past and push all the shit work at the fire post to us. We had a great time over at fire post~ xD

After the DO PL inspection of the fire post, Pte ow and I did sentry from 23 00+ to 05 00. Each having to rest on the sofa for about 2 hours. This was the most tiring and challenging part.

Luckily the morning's BTM drills weren't that tiring. =p

Don't know why HQ SCDF doesn't take in the suggestion of having someone; a provost maybe, to cover us for the night picking up calls. If not, design the LF with doors and lockers for our many sleepless nights' sake, not forgetting our safety also.

Just a food for thought - senior officer would rather accept and implement the same idea from another senior officer and not from a junior officer or from other ranks. How true is it across other uniform group organisations?

It's an axiom.
