Ex Lightning Pegasus 2004 ~ DaY oNe...

Arrived at the Thai Army Military Airbase at about 12 noon. Just got off the plane and we can already feel the intense heat thats devouring us. Waited for a while before the bus came and took us on a 2 hours ride to KM Camp (KMC). Nothing much to see on the way... just a few mountains, some cows, some villagers... the rest were all just vast plantations with no ends at sight. Arrived at KMC, greeted by the usual sight of big dirty training sheds, converted into sleeping areas, plenty of military vehicles and mud everywhere.

Got no time to waste. Quickly got into our gears and went for OPs brief by HQ. There were many of them to attend. By the time we finished the last brief, it was already 11pm. Freaking hungry by then cuz have not eaten a proper lunch and missed dinner altogether. Went to the houseflies infested canteen to have dinner with Howe and Edmund... Actually I still can't believe I ate those food there.... with so many houseflies flying around, sharing the same food as me... but no choice, there's no other food available. Just got to pretend its not there... One day down.. 5 more to go....
