Flash.. Crack.. Boom..Its been 2 years. Two long years to the date, since that life-changing moment struck. Sometimes,. it just feels like yesterday. Exercise Spade, thunderstorm, MG Trench, Khong Guan biscuits, flash, bang, evacuation.
One of my mates was partially deaf for two days, just because he was manning the telejay at the moment when lightning struck. The whole phone was fried, and he had flown a few metres back, from the impact. Another had it worse. Blood in his urea for a day.
Two years on, I guess I have in some ways, overcome my phobia. Though the vibrations of a loud thunder do remind me, of that fateful afternoon, when lightning struck the tree that was 5m away from me. Nonetheless, if there was one other date, other than our commissioning date, that 54/03 Charlie Plt 2 would remember, that would be 070404.
