I figure they're quoting the instructors' verbal demands during the tekaning.
Gosh, must've been some traumatic flashbacks ;-( -
I'm not sure about the kick like grandmother part. I believe it's part of one of the various weird activities that you will be doing throughout.Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Rank Name NRIC.

The number thing is that all POWs are assigned a number and they are identified as that number. -
Anyone remembers their number?

I heard one of my fd say he went through once in the army. Dunno which camp he from.
I can recall that he said he was tied up, slapped and asked to reveal the contents of a document he was asked to read before he was 'captured'. He refuse to say.
He says that he was later given soft tactics where his 'captors' offered him a fried chicken drum stick. He says that he will surrender if he gets to eat the drum stick. He negotiated that he will say out the contents while he is eating.
But after taking a few big bites from the chicken drum stick. He quickly swallow the chicken in his mouth and laugh, saying he change his mind. Then the 'captors' were very angry and give him a "good time"... -

Anyone managed to escape from the POW area?

me, and til now they are still hunting for me...Originally posted by Icemoon:Anyone managed to escape from the POW area?
* looks around to see if got people coming -
You're not suppose to escape during the course. One pilot trainee did and was charged with AWOL when they found him.
That was what I actually told my interrogator. No joke. My guys were all very appreciative that most attention drawn from them.Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Rank Name NRIC.

LOL! ya, captured by terrorists.Originally posted by Ah Gong:Anyone went through it? -
Yes i did, back in 1995 (first few batches)
- last about 12 hours
- blindfold and hand tied to back
-1 round of "soft" interogation
-1 round of "hard" interogation, 2X for officers
- when not interogated either kneeling, standing, standing with head on ground, jumping jacks etc basically anything but sitting
- recite camp rules (randomly select) - tenkan if cannot remember
- rinse with water hose so denched the whole night
- remove blindfold and untie hands in morning to do 5BX
- one slice of dog biscult without water (more like torture since it's hard to swallow when mouth i dry, but die die must finish)
p.s.
- variations by batch
- luckily can request for medic and go for toilet break
Want more details? -
I want to know more!
I might be going through it, I think... -
Can go for toilet break leh!

Soft interogation - bring you to a room (cant confirm since i was blind folded) for questioning. They will use tricks to make you talk, using cigs, food etc. Never Never take the bait. Just tell them your rank name and ic, dun be smart alec, keep your mouth shut. Anyway, for me they suddening kicked the chair and i fell on the floor ... took me by complete surprise. That's the easy part.
Hard interogation - crawl in mud, water hose up your nose and inside the mouth (we didn't had water tub in those days, thank god), dench with ice water, kneel on rocky ground and move on knees (pityful), various exercises, iguana crawl* on rocky ground and best of all, kneeling with a piece of wood stuck btw thigh and calf while the "cardre" hold (push) your body downwards, pure pain * flash back* two of my course mates cried, damn depressing while waiting for your turn.
* Iguana crawl - crawl on belly (hands are tied behind the back while holding the foot up), only way to move is to use your thigh and shoulder. Improvised version, same as standard version except with wood ( tree branch) stuck btw thigh and calf. I had it all
No sure if they still do it. For me, it's the worst part of the training.
I had to go thru two rounds, the second was quicker but damn sian when they call out my number. Soft intero - 10 min per session, hard - 20 to 30 mins per session, seems hours though. The course i went thru only had 20 plus trainees, so they had plenty of time to toy (fool?!?) around. Think the course is much larger nowadays, thus shorter "personal" treatment?!?!?
Anyway, course should have toned down since the unfortunate incident. My heart goes the victim and his family.
Rest of the training was good (especially survival training). 3 days without food and water. dun worry there are plenty of fruit trees and wild boar pits.
For me, water was the main problem damn thirsty. Dun try to take food from recruit camp, integity man. Cardre came in the middle of the night and chop doen our hut, had to rebuild before first light, luckily they kept away on th second night.
Overall, physically and mentally demanding course, just endure the POW treatment.
btw, i'm serious with toilet breaks. They untied my hands so i can pee. Thye still ave a humane side.
