This is a 2 parter, the 2nd part is pretty short, just a small question.

I see if i can recalled what happened during week 5 since it's pretty fuzzy, but basically during the 5th week, we were taught how to throw grenades.

What are the positions that you can throw a grenade in.

What to do if you fucked up throwing a grenade.

and 1 day after learning those, we get to throw a real grenade and let me tell you, it's fucking awesome

On the saturday and sunday of week 5, we were taught how to draw a range card, how to put on cameo, how to set up a tent, what the fuck should i do if i were to attack the enemies and etc.

We have a 8km road march in out FBO(full battle order) to our camp site, followed by setting up our tents.
We were given blanks for our gun.

Which type of weapons do you guys use? Do you organize section attacks with rifles + machine guns? What about trench warfare? (not shellscrape, but WWII style trench)

we used a customized weapon called a SAR21 which stands for Singapore Assault Rifle 21 and it's basically just a rifle with a scope i guess.

Anyway, what do u mean by section attack?

For trench warfare, we did not touch on that, we did dig a shellscrape though.
