Is it allowed?

-
Yes, though not encouraged.
-
Smokers will be sent to detention barracks...
So if they ask if you smoke, say no... -
Those on the road... Cars cannot stop inside... I know.Originally posted by FireIce:u know yellow box? -
If not allowed den smokers dun need go serve army liao loh... -
I normally don't do this but I'm actually feeling guilty giving wrong information earlier...
The truth is yes, smokers are allowed in the army.
They can only smoke within this permitted area which is indicated by yellow lines, thus called the yellow box.
But I think it's better for your health if you can quit smoking...
Happy new year!
Do quit smoking! -

smoking is allowed, within designated areas as described, and, if you are a trainee, probably within designated time slots too, and with limits on how many sticks you can smoke each day.
do remember you need to keep fit to pass your ippt or attain the standards required by your unit. if not, they may use that as an excuse to bar you from smoking.
when you are in uniform, you are not supposed to smoke in public. -
now so good? my BMT was 10 sticks per week. I wished I had declared myself as a smoker, so I could bring in 10 sticks n sell them at inflated prices to those smokers who had run out of ciggies.Originally posted by IntegraType-R:during BMT very difficult to smoke bcos oni limited to 3 sticks per day.....duno they stil practice it anot.....but after BMT its more relax....smoking is granted upon permission.....if not granted then LL.....but slowly u will get the privileges for smoking....remember a few times went to my sgt bunk saw sgts smoking inside....got asstrays somemore....then ask them for permission knn they say NO....but stil will go down to yellow box to smoke....as the saying goes "do anything but dun get caught" so u got to observe ur camp situation lor.....im sure u noe wat i mean rite....gd luck -

thank you for encouraging all smokers to smoke smoking.Originally posted by EricDraven:They can only smoke within this permitted area which is indicated by yellow lines, thus called the yellow box.

Do quit smoking!
btw, last time, my unit painted the yellow box in the middle of the carpark. see who dare go there and smoke. -
We had that at OETI too! It was at the side of the workshop though.But the yellow box was in the sun and it was funny to see soldiers of all ranks from PTEs to 1WOs in No.3, No.4 and coveralls all squeezed into the yellow box.

Damn boliao lor!!! I went there and it was raining lor.. so imagine, one guy with one huge umbrella managed to squeeze four more people huddling to smoke together

Another thing... don't smoke while you're talking to a higher-ranked personnel who isn't smoking.
That's considered as a form of insubordination.
If he's a slacker, then no issue.
If he's a psycho, you're asking for trouble. -
smoking...definition?
Can be bluffing wor ..keke -

1 interesting techniques i witnessed from my frens during Ex Spades during my cadet days, some of the smokers wanted to smoke during the defence excercise, then unknown to them, my PC was watching us through a NVG, and tekong was pitch dark at nite , as we dug at rocky hill at CCP 5 there ...
then my frens actually crouched into the half dug fire trench, and lighted the cigrette using his helmet as a cover and smoked and blew the smoke inside the helmet, so tactially that they will allow the smoke flow into this little "smoke hole"in the wall of the firetrench to mask the smell, my PC was half pissed as it was a tactical excercise ( you know the drill lah, light discipline)
and half amazed,he just whacked the whole plt left right center with turn out and 1 min everything fall in including the MG tripod for 1 hr and left us to our work, half pissed and impressed at the inguineity of the smokers.. -
can't u see that they are discouraging u all to smoke. but seems to me it isn't working, raining still want to smoke in the rain with umbrella.Originally posted by Taufiq:ya lar!!!
