Soak the boots into water?1st time heard it.. -
for 2.5 yrs u wear the combat boots hav u ever wash it b4? not talking about jus washing off mud n kiwing ur boots....its about the inner soles of ur entire boots is not clean, moist wif pespirations n such left in a cupboard or storeroom untouch for mths thus collecting dusts n moist creates good breeding condition for fungus n bacteria....soaking in water wif detergent, scrubbing off fungus n bacteria, sun it to dry then store them in cupboard or storeroom....

I only wash away the mud and then kiwi it black..The most i wash the insole only..Er the boots that i put inside the cupboard is my parade boots..hardly wear except for parades or guard duty..Originally posted by IntegraType-R:for 2.5 yrs u wear the combat boots hav u ever wash it b4? not talking about jus washing off mud n kiwing ur boots....its about the inner soles of ur entire boots is not clean, moist wif pespirations n such left in a cupboard or storeroom untouch for mths thus collecting dusts n moist creates good breeding condition for fungus n bacteria....soaking in water wif detergent, scrubbing off fungus n bacteria, sun it to dry then store them in cupboard or storeroom....
So funny wear so few times oso kana fungus!! -
the humidity here + the leather material makes for conducive environment for fungus growth. this applies not only to our boots, but also to other leather products which are left unused.

i think, or rather, bet that ALOT of us would FAIL on test 5.1!!!
anyway there are some lessons learnt from military life that could be brought over to our civilian life too, e.g. standing straight, walking on heels (heh... not your test 5.2...), sleeping and waking early... anyone care to compile them?
(i cant do that, cos im a regular. ) -

Point 2.3 is very vital IMHO.I've seen many people who lose their jewels when they enlist and they haven't managed to find them.I hope NS does not create a generation of yes men and apple polishers, because it's been seen before.Point 4.4 is alright if you read the news frequently.Okay, I'm not very qualified to say this because I'm in a 8-5 vocation and my camp always has commercial jargon peppered around like KPI, KRAs. production efficiency, EMMIS workflow and crap like that.Point 4.3 is the most vital test, to see if you can still carry yourself like a normal man and not bore the girl with constant reference to the military.Though there are girls out there who are honestly interested about the stuff you did in green, but best avoid the topic until you know the sweet one better.That's all from me..

here one more:
Thing to take note in a Civilian Working Environment Learn that it's is not necessary to slaute your superiors everytime u see them. clear the misconception that if u did something wrong, your superiors will give u extras and u have to do guard duty at your company's guard house.
