Visit at the SAF

This afternoon, I had a fun trip at the Nee Soon Camp. I was there to get to know SAF better (part of the NE education).

The carnival set up by the SAF for this teachers' visit included an Army Studio
(where we could see the different kinds of armoured vehicles, artillery platforms and weapons etc.), Defence Lane Demonstration (where we sat in lorries to see how they will defend Singapore - Guns are fired, explosives were heard, Tankers and artillery were being fired too) and also SAR 21 Live Firing.

The most interesting is the SAR 21 Firing. I got to fire the real SAR 21 rifle (information on SAR 21: http://www.mindef.gov.sg/army/infantry_weapons_sar21.htm) and I only got to shoot 1 out of 3 targets. Nevertheless, Vanessa, Alicia and I thought it was quite an experience for us gals.

There was a goodie bag for us before we left Nee Soon camp. This are the items that could be found in the bag:

1) A mug
2) A compass
3) A pouch-like bag
4) 3 pens
