  i agree with u, only 1 bloody bus 175, since my camp LCK 1 is on the way to SG haha BUt seriously Nacah, dun bother what other camp has, just serve and F**K off

  I was posted to HQ Armour, but it didnt say which camp i as posted to.
  Could I suppose that every camp has its own HQ Armour?

  no. as i said, every camp has its own units and even formations. there is only one hq armour in singapore. what your posting may mean is either that you are posted to hq armour - the unit, or the armour combat arm in general (which is consisted of various armour units, of which hq armour is one).

  The camp: Sungei Gedong.
  Search the name Sungei Gedong in your street directory, you should be able to know where it is liao.

  Sungei Gedong road is on the map, sungei gedong camp is the big blank space coloured in green where the road ends.

  u will never find any army units listed/ shown in streetsdirectory, as these are restricted areas, all this location will only be shown green land (free unused green batch) on the map

  It appears you're gonna be part of that formation, even for PES E status.
  
  FYI HQ Armour commands the various SAR units (active & reservist) as well as the School of Armour. Sungei Gedong has always been the main local training ground of all mechanized units, & in the last decade all of these outfits have relocated there - aka "Home of the Armour" - for easier access to their "backyard." Big difference from my days when convoys of tanks & M113s used to dirty/ruin the roads of CCK-LCK-Jurong during their journeying up to the northwest.
  
  Haven't been in that area for a while, but unless I'm wrong, the area is still quite ulu. (The Sarimbun Scout Camp nearby remains probably the most familiar for civilians.) Being allowed to stay out may not be that beneficial, cuz the daily commuting to camp will be time-consuming if you live far away.
