quite alright with puritab, still alive after more than 10years Laughing

if it's water from industrial area then I agree, but the jungles of brunei acts like a huge filtration system, the pathogens if any are organic which the puritab will take care.

what more if small fish can survive for so long, shud be safe enuf for consumption.

and conversely, some running water may be cloudy, but is in fact fresh and portable! batu apoi is one fine example! Wink

Latest News about R&R

i was attached to EX wallaby 04 this year. was offered a 3 day R&R at gold coast as all the previous R&R for the Central Admin Team was at Gold Coast, Brisbane.
this year, after we arrived at Australia, heard news that this year R&R might be canceled. so disappointed
a few days, DY CAO came to australia to give us a briefing regarding the R&R and told us that regulars are not entilted to any R&R as we are drawing allowance while we are at australia. but he did say he will try to fight for our R&R.
few weeks later, news came back, we were allowed 3 day of R&R provided we pay our own hotel lodging and our own food. Rolling Eyes

so those regulars who are planning to go for future oversea exercise, please be prepared that you might not have any R&R. NSFs would be given guided R&R as they are not drawing any allowance.

Some units made their regulars be the coach IC and hotel IC, so as a result, the regulars get to go for the R & R too… Without paying anything and getting allowance at the same time…

I remember after exercise cut and while we all stayed back on the base waiting for the sand barge to arrive to be shipped out, we did all sorts of things to busy ourselves as it was really boring.

We broke open the C-rations and starting using solid fuel to cook instant noodles, you could see small cooking fires with clusters of people huddled around outside their company barracks cooking.

also there were people catching multicolored cicada and there was even a small auction for it, I think the highest offered for a turquoise colored one was $450 bucks.

Then someone found a scorpions nest and people started catching them first with rifle cleaning kit pincers after that 1 guys used his bare fingers and everybody followed and posing for photo shoot, I think back now .. really fool hardy.

But the most interesting of all was using the radio. The telecommunications on the base was that of radio airwave. We would fiddle with our small radio dials to tune to the correct frequency to evesdrop on base personel making calls home. Sometimes you could hear really mushy conversations going between a man calling home to his wife.

It was fun. Laughing
