reserve navy A. C. T

19 dec, a day after the last rugby match...7am I received a phone call, QUICKLY come to markas PALAPES LAUT Universiti Malaya. Ok, Ok, journey to Pelabuhan Klang, Pulau Indah. Destination Kapal Diraja Sri Klang aka KD Sri Klang or KDSI. It's not a boat la but something like a HQ i guess.
WE went there to attend our ACT (annual continous training). Palapes Laut UPM, and UiTM Shah Alam were also there. Our status Pegawai Kadet. Officer cadet.

room delegation, 6 ppl in a 4 person bed room. our basin had no water. I'm falling sick cause of the continous previous activeness (12 hour malacca on the 11-12 dec, rugby training on 14 dec, rugby game on 16 dec, rugby match on 18 dec and now reserve navy training from 19th dec to 27 dec)

makan very little for dinner cause the food portion was not enuf for 81 officer cadets.
What we are going to learn in classes are "naval terms and etiquette and ranks" "organization and role of TLDM(Royal Navy of malaysia)" "ceromonies-sunset,color and piping", "semanship-knots and flag" "communication-morse code, flag communication" "marching" "history of tldm".
3 division: Thana, Zain and Wahab. I'm in Zain.
Always muster and go everywhere in troops aka division.
muster (A gathering, especially of troops, for service, inspection, review, or roll call) at 8pm..sing songs and pep talk.
Alpha routine-> meaning whenever we are under the sky, cadets must RUN.

release to sleep at 12am. Where we all clean our room, prepare for the next day. Left shoulder and right arm pain, maybe from carrying bag.
I was the only non muslim girl.

Monday 20th dec.
early morning activity (EMA) at 5.50am.
Jogging, push up, sit up, jumping jacks, star jump, squat jump and many other exercises till 6.50am.
Breakfast at 7am
8am colors aka watches aka raising and lowering the pennant (something like a flag) and morning inspection.
Kawad kaki or Marching class at 9am to 11am with a 30 minutes rest in between.
Different classes for different divisions.
Lunch-mess etiquette (eat square, request permission for every action, speech or song), eat under table. 1pm-2pm
Another Class.
Evening activity(EA) at 5.15pm. Exercises, can be running to the jetty too.
Dinner-mess etiquette at 6pm-7pm
Prepare and clean room, and standardize layout for Night rounds. They check everywhere, even under and behind cupboards, in between door knob, curtain railing, window slides, toilet must be dry, every night no one escapes, everyone also will get pick up on something...It's hard to standardize with 81 officer cadets. Drawers and Cupboards must be empty only can lay out PT (physical training uniform), everything else must be secured (hidden) somewhere else. (Cannot secure in your room)
p/s Secure means hide.
8pm Night rounds.
Punishment and lecturing and OOD(officer of the day) intro and give briefing of the next day, detail of who is in duty the next day: Galley party(kitchen work), DCOD(duty cadet of the day).
Usually Galley party is busy the whole day, cannot enter class, super tired, midnight also not yet done.

UM students got scolding in the room by UPM subby( Acting Sub Lieutenant) for being lurus bendul (too honest).

Today is the open for UM 1st yr students registration for next semester. 20th dec to 26 dec. Unfortunately the PALAPES LAUT ACT is from 19 dec to 27 dec. How to register? Ish ish ish...
Um students get back phone and ask family or friends at 1 am till 5am to ask others to help register for us here. 8am must give back phone. 5.50am is EMA.

TUES 21st dec, I became an LDOD (light duty of the day) meaning I am sick or cannot do normal or heavy duty. LDOD till the camp ended. My right arm hurts and DR Stella's letter of not being able to do push up or weight training.

And So the LDOD club started. When others did heavy exercises, we did marching or dancing or just moving lightly and walking around in a troop. Among the LDOD's membership were paralysed arm, leg bone crack, back bone misposture, waist pain, and so on.

side roll...many boys threw out aka vomit, only 1 girl vomited. Motivation Speeches by high rank officers during classes and scolding for not obeying the "Mark of Respect".
Punishment all the time...

Well, for the next few days the schedule is the same.

Everyday we were released to sleep after 12am but then we had to prepare for the next day meaning majority only sleep on an average of 2 hours.

Post Christmas, EXAM day. Interesting exam condition.
