Sar 21 drills are not as easy it seems. The GOH this yr have to
endure long hours of hard work to perfect this new set of drills.
Those that did not do it before would not know the trouble it
brings. If you look at the rifle, the heavy part is at the laser
portion. This causes the rifle to fall forward. All of the guys
have to hold it straight and maintain it so tt it does not fall.
Next, at the scope, there is a front aperture for aiming without
the scope. This thing is sharp, and when rusok is given after a
hormat. The front aperture may hook onto the uniform, causing much
discomfort while maintaining the rifle straight.
As you all know the senang diri position is with the rifle on the
hands. This means that the rifle is on the hand all the way frm
marching in all the way to marching out. The Tough part is when the
president arrive, the rifle have to held there, straight frm the
moment he arrive till marching out. Previous years, the M16 could
be place on the ground. Imagine the numbeness as u carry a aprox
4kg rifle, straight and u cannot move at all. After that, they
still have to fire the Feu De Joir. The numbness set in, and they
still have to perform the Feu De Joir with perfection down to
synchronising of firing of weapon.
So before anyone can make fun of the drills, please think deeper.
The guys out there are not having a good time either.
