the weather lately...
-
... has been really hot, not to mention humid!
the red flag at BMTC went up yet?
do remember to adhere strictly to water parades, and take them seriously, especially if there is going to be outfield training or strenuous physical activities. the live-firing area can really feel like sahara and i think the mention of SOC can make one peng san liao in this heat!
remember... no physical activities before 3 pm (although 3 pm is not late enough these few days.. in fact 5 pm still damn hot!)
this is the best time to go cut hair until super short, like what i just did!
take care! -
damn it.... i did my SOC around 1-2pm....Originally posted by wuming78:... has been really hot, not to mention humid!

they are putting themselves on the line at the same time too, going against the TSR. but of course, i do not understand the entire context of it so i cannot say i am totally right here.Originally posted by mr_sotong:dont know... mayb the PC or PS is picking on us... -

Yup.So, anyway, do drink lots of water and please let your instructors know if you feel unwell.Don't force yourself through the training, especially during this heatwave.Take care of yourselves.

hm.. still on a related topic on our weather.
i notice that US Army soldiers like to wear a shirt beneath their combat uniforms, even though they may be operating in places with worse weather conditions than ours, like the Middle East.
sometimes i wonder how the ang mohs can tahan the heat with the extra clothing, even though i myself like to wear a shirt inside my uniform too.
we all know that the SAF have specific regulations against wearing a shirt beneath our no. 4s, one of the preventive measures against heat injury.
so does it mean singaporeans are more prone to heat injuries than the ang mohs? -
It was an activation. They made us draw all the chemical defence stuff to test their system... (My battalion is the stand-by force for this period.)Originally posted by wuming78:wah.. wat was tt about? kanna standby? or on course?
I was rushing about helping my PS (he got arrowed to do the logistics for my company) with the tons of boxes. After that, I joined the rest on the parade square roasting our bums...
