Bell
-
Ok guys,just wondering if there is a tradition/culture in SF units in SG like Guards,CDO,SOF or NDU to have a bell there.Read somewhere that the way to drop out from the course is to simply go up to the bell and ring it 3 times and you are free to go.
Anybody have any idea what's the purpose of ringing the bell and does it serve any other purpose?Thanks. -
There is a bell in my ex unit, but one thing for sure, its not for that. I wish it was though.

When the chill of winter comes to hell...ONLY the FITTEST resist the BELL....

-

Ya boy... I think Armour is the biggest consumer of TIger beer...Originally posted by tankee1981:My armour camp also have bell.....but it is in the officer mess! Who rings the bell signals that there will be free flow of beer, compliments of the ringer! 
... I was told by my friend that during his course in School of Armour (SOA), the trainers will suddenly cut training for no particular reason and everybody would just head to the specialist mess and drink... and my CSM has a Coolman container full of Tiger beers in his vehicle when we go for exercise outfield... Can you imagine, giving briefing with a can of beer in your hand... That guy's cool man...

HO,
I am AI, Once Armour Always Armour.
Didn't know that Armour SOP is a can opener? Maybe i ROD too long already, during younger days i will insisted everyone to bring at least a loaf of bread, plus budget of $5 of food. My CSM very kia si, so only colour drinks.
As for the bell(not to side track the threads), i have not seem anyone use it during my tour of duty. I do know Long John Silver's Bell is used to encourage good services by the staffs. -

Sabo my CSM... won't lah, heard he's already condemned... legend has it he beat up his OC who delayed his book out to see his dying wife, by the time he reached her, she already passed away, he went back camp and beat up the OC... that's why he's condemned... better I dun reveal his name.... But his smart 4 uniform is customised, if u know what I mean...
That guy is very steady, yet a humane guy... When I enlisted the first day, I feared him terribly... But later realised he would reduce the punishment of ppl who kena confined... During POP, I dropped my rifle during rehearsal, as in whole thing fell 90 degree flat on the ground with a long bang! But he just glared at me and ask me to pick up and carry on... Whew...
