DARAH SATRIA

SEKOLAH PEGAWAI KEDET
KEM SEBATANG KARAH, PORT DICKSON

2nd April 1980 was a historic date in my life. Today, i decided to leave all my freedom life as a ordinary person into the new world called 'military life'.

Prior to that, lets me tell you why i decided to join the military? I was really frustrated when i failed my Architecture study in UTM. It took nearly six month (hanging around in KL) before i dare to go back home to face my family. I was hanging in KL doing nothing in my rental house in Jalan Bukit Keramat 4 (with my ex-coursemates). End up with pocket getting dried up, i got no choice, go back to my kampong. Back to 'kebun getah, kelapa sawit and kopi' helping my parent. How long i will be like this? SPM 1st grader hanging around in kampong!. My mind was spiraling to get a solutions. To further study ?(next choice will be ITM). I don't want to cause more trouble to my father (to support me). To work? Who want to employ 1st grader? The potential employer would know that I only look for temporary job. When i was in KL, I applied for 'JKR draughtman' and 'kerani syarikat bas ekspress' but after interview, i didnt get the answer.

Quietly i applied for Officer Cadet training (for the second time). I went to interview at JB Garrison (Majidee Camp) and i was very fortunate, I passed all the physical and theoritical test. I also passed through the No 2 and No 3 Board interview successfully. Just waiting for the offer letter. I also succeeding my aero-medical test in IPP,KL Base.

Finally, I received the offer letter from MINDEF together with train 'travel warrant' from Kluang to Seremban. I left my kampong on to Kluang railway station. I couldnt remember who sent me off that day but my mother was there. After shake and kiss her hand, I did not see her any more. I did not dare, coz it will make me cry. After the train moved forward then I could feel my tears flowing down. No turning back. I had decided my way of life, something that was not in my parents' mind. Eventhough last 4 years, Amir (my cousin) had also made his way into the military life, but not me. Poor boy. I couldn't imagine, what was in their mind.

In the train I met Kamarulzaman and Lokman (both attended the interview with me at JB). I also met Yohanez and Marmilah (ladies cadet candidate- both from Segamat) for the first time.

We arrived Seremban and convoyed to Kem Sebatang Kara, Port Dickson (by 3 tonner or truck). Along the way, actually I was blank, still in dilemma, either I my decision to come here was right ot wrong?

I started my 'hell of military life' and known of Short Commissioned Cadet Intake 37 or "TJP 37" at Sekolah Pegawai Kedet (SPK), Kem Sebatang Kara, Port Dickson (for the regular intake cadet, their training conducted at RMC, Sg Besi Camp). Our Commandant was Kol Mohd Zain bin Daud and the CI was Lt Kol Adnan bin Abd Aziz.

Familiarization and Orientation

The first 3 days in Seginting Camp we were doing the administrative works. The realmilitary life was not come yet. We were issued with uniform, 2 pairs of PD Green, drill boot, PT kits- blue shorts and green T-shirts. (we called it PT Bodoh) etc. Hair cutting was the first sign of 'uniformity. Tears looking at our bundle of hair dropped onto the floor.

Third day. That morning we were directed to gather inside the hall. Wearing PD Green with drill boots. Every body was given a last chance (3 time offer) if any body willing to withdraw before the 'sumpah perwira' taking place. After taking an oath...and printed our 10 fingers.... our life as a soldier began. First we were introduced with a line PTIs. The 'salam perkenalan 'to the Seginting Camp stated with running around the accomodation blocks. Not only running, we had to duck walk and frog jump. All the cadets were forced to run climb the hillside and slide roll down. Two cadets (Shaharudin and Lim were killed due to serious injuries) and many more suffered serious injuries but survived. Some of them were admitted in the hospital for more than 3 weeks. One of them is now Brig Jen Dato' Kamalruzaman TUDM.

Kasturi Battalion

Initially, after the registration day, the whole intake of cadets (about 260) were put in one 'Cadet Batallion' located in Kem Seginting, Port Dickson. The main reason was, at that time or seniors (Intake 36) which supposed to be commissioned in January/Feb 1980 was extended another 3 months (due to their failure in the final exercise). They occupied the dedicated SPK Camp in Kem Sebatang Kara. Their commissioning parade was postponed to May 1980.

After the TJP36 commissioning day, TJP37 was divided into 3 battalions, Tuah battalion moved up to Kem Sebatang Karah and Jebat and Kasturi Battalion occupied in Kem Seginting.

Note: The photo was taken on the parade square. If you can see the white staicase (photo background). There are 64 stairs from the ground level (parade square) to reach the football field up there. During the orientation day (led by the PTI), all the cadets were forced to run climb the hillside and slide roll down. Two cadets (Shaharudin and Lim Cheng Wah were killed due to serious injuries) and many more suffered serious injuries but survived.

DRILLs

A Foot Drill is an essential part of the military training regiment of today's Armed Forces. "Foot Drill" or "Drill" stems from the seventeenth century, when soldiers used to march into battle, where they would be expected to gather in a formation, and react to words of command from their commanders once the battle commenced; for example, "Fix Bayonets", which is still used today, albeit not on the battle field, but to provide a spectacle at military events and parades. Much of the drill done today is either ceremonial, or implemented as a core part of training in the Armed Forces. Military discipline is enhanced by drill, as it requires instant obedience to commands.

Drill came into its own when marching formations of soldiers cross-country. For example, officers could form men from an eight-wide route march formation to a two-wide formation for passing through gates and other narrow passages, without losing time or cohesion. Drill was used to efficiently maneuver formations around and through obstacles. Drill was often used as a forerunner to great battles; during them it justified itself. It was also utilized after battles, where quick restoration of the corporate unity of an element was required.

Drill commands.

Most of the commands in modern drill are separated into two distinct parts; the Preparatory Command, and the Command of Execution. The preparatory command indicates to the person performing the movement that a command of execution is soon to follow. The command of execution indicates the movement to be performed. An example of this is the command "Present ARMS", which is utilized to command a group of soldiers to render salute. In this command, the word "Present" is the preparatory command, whereas the following word, "ARMS" is the command of execution. The movement is performed immediately upon reception of the execution command.

When issuing the command, vocal inflection is varied so that the preparatory command is given less emphasis, and the most emphasis is placed on the command of execution. There is usually a slight hesitation between each element of the command, about the duration of a finger snap. Other examples of the two-part command structure are:

Bariiiiiiisss.....SEDIA" ... to make it sharp normally the parade commander pronounced it as "Barissss.....SEDIAP".
Senanggggg....DIRI" become "Senannnnnnnng DIRIP".
Rusukkkkkkkk....SENJATA" become, "Rusuuuuuuuk... SENJATAP".
Ke Kanannnnnn.................. PUSING".

Drill movements.

All drill movements are performed from the base position of Attention. In this position, the person performing the movement stands straight, arms down and slightly flexed, fingers curled in to the palm, thumbs pointed down and placed against the seam of the trouser, and the feet positioned at a forty-five degree angle with heels together. The most common command given by leaders to gather their elements into formations, standing at attention, is the command "Fall IN". From this position, almost any other drill command can be executed.

The most difficult part in practicing drill is to synchronise the command and the steps or body movement. As a parade commander, you must be very careful in giving the command, especially for the moving troop. The ending of the command must be sharp and stop at the right step of the troop (mean, at the time when the drill boot touch the ground. It can be on the right foot or left. Depend, either you are giving command for slow march and fast march. If you give command on the wrong step, the whole parade will be hay-wired.

Preparing for drill was another agony. In the first, we were issued with basic military dress, including drill boots. The surface of drill boots was rough and hard. You have to make it shining. The most difficult part was at the early stage to make the rough surface become smooth. Many initiatives were shown (mostly we learnt from the ex-RMC boys). But, the most popular tools were either using heater coil or you burn the spoon, then you 'tenyeh' at the boot surface. It would take hours to make it smooth. After smoothen the surface, then finally you can shine it by using 'KIWI', brush and kiwi clothes (all were issued). The standard of shining for our boots was 'boleh tengok gigi" in the mirror. So, every evening, before going to bathroom, we would scattering around the block (barrack) to shine our drill boots.

WEAPON and SHOOTING RANGE

Shooting or firing was interesting but learning about the weapon was sleepring! In SPK (OCS) you have to learn variosu type of weapon, among them were Colt M-16, SLR, GPMG, pistol (browning), Carl Gustav, grenade and Mortar. We learned the detail parts of the weapon, how to dismantle/disassemble and how to reassemble them. The formula was "first out first in". So, you must arrange the parts in order (on the poncho) accordingly. So, later will be easy for you to pick based on 'first out'.

Weapon class was boredom. Not in the classroom but 'squad hut' (pondok). Normally the wood bench was short and could not accommodate the whole group (squad). The rest have to standing around the instructor (a Sergeant). Those who sat on the bench would be the first who fell into sleep (because they were so comfortable. And, the worst part was, those who were 'standing' were also caught for sleeping. End up the whole squad were punished. Normally 20 press up or run around the 'squad hut' or 'slapping' each other.

The shooting (practical) was interesting. First not because we all like shooting but that day will be no PT, no drills and no classroom. The whole jin-beng had to go to riffle range. From early morning to late evening. Rations were also carried to the range. Another interesting part was, while waiting for the details (we have two jobs; in the 'firing detail' and 'target party'). Other than that groups will be sleeping under the tree.

Sports/Games

The 9 month training was crushed and intensive. So, not much time space for games or sport. But, to maintain the morale, espirit d'corps and create competitive environment between the 3 battalions, the school organized were games competition. Only football and volleyball. I was in Kasturi volleyball team.... but as a subtitute player.

Punishment

During Raya Haji, We all were given weekend off. That morning i forgot to read the Part I Order. I went out happily with my friends for Hari Raya. On the way back (by bus) in the late evening, one of my friend shouted at me, "Toha!, you are on duty today!. My blood gone up 'berderau'. My goodness!, I absent guard duty!. I was charged and summarily dealt by my CO (Fathulzaman) and given 7 day Extra Drill. I think, I was the only cadet in TJP37 intake, had been tried and awarded a punishment by the CO due to 'absent from guard duty'. Lesson learned. I think, I was the only Cadet experienced with charged for absent from the place of duty, tried and punishedby the CO.

Once, I failed to perform my task as a platoon commander during the ambush exercise. After doing the appreciation, we move toattack the CT camp. However we loss the track! we enter the CT parameter (supposed to be killed by the enemy). The whole platoon we punished, deep into the swamp.

Kesah Lucu (Funny memories)

In one of the field class for 'IMP' nearby the padang bola. We learned about 'menembak sasaran musuh' (i could not remember the right term). Our instructor, one WO (I could not remember his name) taught us how the Section Commander give order to the section members.

"Seksyen....... pandang hadapan.....pukul 2 (means about 20 degree to the right), pokok daun warna kuning, itu Sarimah (we were taught to give any name to the target). Di situ ada musuh, tubi-tubi tembakkkkkk"

The turn to be a Section Comd was PK Goh Choon Peng (Cina Melaka). So, Goh repeat what was taught by the instructor.

"Seksyen, pandang hadapan, pukul 2, pokok kuning, Sarimahhhh..... (pause and he unable continue the order).... and after 3 to 4 time repeating he stop at the word 'Sarimah'.

So the instr got fed up and shout Goh.

"Hoiii Goh!!!!!.... berapa kali nak ulang tuuuuuu...... dah berbueh BURIT Sarimah, kau tak tembak jugakkkkk"

Kah kah kah kahhhhhhh.... we couldn't control our laugh....

Ladies Cadet

There were 22 ladies cadet in TJP37. They were first TJP ladies intake in the Armed Forces history. Prior to this all the ladies officers in the Armed Forces were absorbed from the Territorial Army or Voluntarily Service. Their barrack located at Kem Sebatang Karah (near to Tuah Battalion).

Initially the other battalion felt jealous because we were far away from the 'bunga'. However, later we changed our mind due to many reasons; some of them were; SAKIT HATI coz the ladies cadets were given previlages in front of the men counterparts, the men were punished or bullied by the instructors in front of the ladies.

Air Force Cadets

The date of commissioning for TJP 37 was 24 January 1981. For those who were selected to go for overseas cadet training (Sandhurst and Portsea) and air force (pilot candidates where they only commissioned after obtaining their flying wings or date of chopped from flying), the date of the commissioning fell after 24 January 1981. However, the date of seniority remained 24 January 1981.

Plucked from the conversation in the S37yahoogroups.

from Lt Kol Roslan Shaari

satu lagi perkara kat broga yg tak boleh dilupakan adalah bila waktu malam dengar bunyi cangkul dan mess tin tengah korek kubu.... macam lagu dan irama.... sayu betul bunyinya.... sampai sekarang masih berdengung bunyi tersebut..

from Norhaili Abd Latif

tak bolih lupa capt rahmat "bantai" kaki saya semasa nk marching keatas bukit.Terduduk,sepatut tak bolih step on the road ( jalan raya) semasa marching, tapi akibat penat terbabas berjalan gak atas jalan raya.....apa lagi jerit lah Capt Rahmat ...kedet..itu kenangan ,mengajar kita disiplin n to be tough .

dari Lt Kol Azman Daud

Salam Skots...

Yang paling tak dapat aku lupa di Broga ni bila sahabat kita LOD tiba-tiba muncul di Trench aku dengan 4 gulung D10 Cable dengan airmuka yg paling sayu... Rupanya dia kena pasang cable tu untuk line `Set K' ke semua defence position dari bukit ke bukit. Tapi lepas tu, cable tak habis pasang, dah kena withdraw pulaak. Hanya yg keluar dari mulut LOD ketika itu...."Man. ....Ada air tak??" Malangnya aku pun kekeringan ketika itu. Anyway LOD, for that nostalgia, you can have a crate of Coca Cola the next time we see each other (Itu pun kalau kau bagi aku `stroke' OK).

from Lt Kol Lod bin Atan

actually, ko bukan orang pertama aku mintak air, dah baper bukit aku naik, xsilap aku, takes me more than 6 hr to completed the job .. siap tgh mlm kot.. at least aku tahu hows defence has been laid.. and bn mana yg paling efficient.. kalao x pandai ikut kompas jln tgh mlm mahu aku sesat.. but juz imagine masa withdrawl abandone position b4 midnite n no movement b4 last light... take me another round utk tarik. semula cable. yg xbest nya.. tiap2 position ada password yg lain masa nak enter. asyik kena tahan jer..sabor jer lar.. tgh mlm derang ingat musuh demo nyusup nak curi senjata...bnyk lagi citer aku ble share... masa tu aku angkat tangan kat signal corps and it will b my last priority to join. hahahaha. thanks azman for reminding me.
